Real-time, interactive black hole visualization written in Rust

This project simulates an accretion disk, particle heating, and stylized spacetime curvature (grid warping) around the black hole, complete with camera controls.

• Accretion Disk Animation: Particles orbit around the black hole with relativistic time dilation effects.
• Doppler Shift Rendering: Colors shift based on relative motion using simplified relativistic formula.
• Temperature-Driven Emission: Particles emit light based on dynamic heating models (gravitational, magnetic, and tidal).
• Spacetime Warping Grid: A visible mesh is distorted according to Schwarzschild radius curvature.
• Configurable Black Hole Parameters: Mass, spin, and scale are adjustable in code.
• Camera Controls: Zoom, rotate, tilt, and toggle auto-rotation in real time.
• Background stars: Static star field for reference.

• W: Zoom in
• S: Zoom out
• A: Rotate left
• D: Rotate right
• Q: Tilt down
• E: Tilt up
• Space: Toggle auto-rotation

1. Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/ecnivs/blackhole.git
cd blackhole

2. Run the simulation:

cargo run --release

• The black hole's Schwarzschild radius is computed from its mass.
• Accretion particles orbit the hole, with thier orbital radius decreasing over time.
• Relativistic Doppler effect alters their emission color depending on motion relative to camera.
• The grid mesh is dynamically warped to show spacetime curvature.
• A simple star field provides background reference.

• Add photon ring and lensing visuals via ray marching
• Implement Kerr metric spin-based light bending
• Better color grading for cinematic presentation
• UI silders for real-time parameter changes
