Introduction

Rustimate is a programmable engine for visual technical story telling. It lets you write scripts and render explanations.

It is designed for:

  • Technical bloggers
  • Educators
  • Researchers

How it works

Rustimate uses a domain-specific language called RSL (Rustimate Studio Language) to describe scenes. It’s engine renders these instructions into visual frames and export to mp4.

You just write a .rsl file and Rustimate takes care of the rendering
