+## About
+
+SDF Forge is a Python library for creating 3D models using Signed Distance Functions (SDFs). It provides a real-time, interactive rendering experience in a native desktop window, powered by GLSL raymarching.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Simple, Pythonic API:** Define complex shapes by combining primitives using standard operators (`|`, `-`, `&`) and chaining transformations.
+- **Real-time Rendering with Hot-Reloading:** Get instant visual feedback in a lightweight native window powered by `moderngl` and `glfw`. Changes to your script are reloaded automatically.
+- **Mesh Exporting:** Save your creations as `.stl`, `.obj`, or `.glb` files for 3D printing or use in other software.
+- **Interactive Parameters:** Define parameters that can be controlled by UI sliders in real-time (with a compatible UI renderer).
+- **Standalone GLSL Export:** Export your entire scene to a single, self-contained GLSL fragment shader for use in game engines or graphics applications.
+- **Custom GLSL Primitives:** Write custom SDF logic directly in GLSL using the `Forge` object for maximum flexibility and performance.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Hello Forge
+
+Define a simple shape and open a real-time preview window with just a few lines of code.
+
+```python
+from sdforge import sphere, box
+
+# A sphere intersected with a box
+shape = sphere(1) & box(1.5)
+
+# Render a preview in a native window.
+# An interactive orbit camera is used by default.
+shape.render()
+```
+
+### Live Preview & Hot-Reloading
+For an interactive workflow, wrap your scene definition in a `main()` function. When you save any changes to the file, the preview window will automatically update.
+
+```python
+from sdforge import box, sphere
+
+def main():
+    """
+    While this script is running, try changing the values below and
+    saving the file. The render window will update automatically.
+    """
+    box_size = 1.5
+    sphere_radius = 1.2
+    
+    scene = box(box_size, radius=0.1) | sphere(sphere_radius)
+    return scene
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    # The render() function automatically enables hot-reloading by default
+    # and looks for a `main` function in this file to call upon reload.
+    scene = main()
+    scene.render()
+```
+
+### Saving to a Mesh File
+You can save any static model to an `.stl`, `.obj`, or `.glb` file. The `.save()` method uses the Marching Cubes algorithm to generate a mesh from the SDF.
+
+```python
+from sdforge import sphere, box
+
+# A box with a sphere carved out of it
+shape = box(1.5) - sphere(1.2)
+
+# Save the model. Higher samples = more detail.
+shape.save('model.obj', samples=2**22)
+```
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### Primitives & Operations
+Create complex objects by starting with primitives and combining them with Python's bitwise operators: `|` for union, `&` for intersection, and `-` for difference.
+
+```python
+from sdforge import sphere, box
+
+# A box with a sphere carved out of it.
+b = box(size=1.5)
+s = sphere(r=1.0)
+scene = b - s
+
+scene.render()
+```
+
+### Transformations & Shaping
+Chain methods to transform, shape, and repeat objects.
+
+```python
+import numpy as np
+from sdforge import box, Y
+
+# A tall box
+b = box(size=(0.5, 2.5, 0.5))
+
+# Twist it around the Y-axis
+# The 'k' parameter controls the amount of twist.
+scene = b.twist(k=3.0).rotate(Y, np.pi / 4)
+
+scene.render()
+```
+
+### Materials
+You can assign a unique color to any object or group of objects using the `.color()` method.
+
+```python
+from sdforge import sphere, box
+
+# A blue sphere is subtracted from a red box.
+red_box = box(1.5, radius=0.1).color(1.0, 0.2, 0.2)
+blue_sphere = sphere(1.2).color(0.3, 0.5, 1.0)
+    
+scene = red_box - blue_sphere
+
+scene.render()
+```
+
+### Camera & Lighting
+You can override the default interactive camera and lighting to set a static viewpoint or create specific lighting conditions by passing `Camera` and `Light` objects to the renderer.
+
+```python
+from sdforge import box, sphere, Camera, Light
+
+def main():
+    scene = box(1.5, radius=0.1) | sphere(1.2)
+    
+    # A camera positioned at (4, 3, 4), looking at the origin.
+    cam = Camera(position=(4, 3, 4), target=(0, 0, 0), zoom=1.5)
+    
+    # A light source with soft shadows
+    light = Light(position=(4, 5, 3), shadow_softness=16.0)
+
+    return scene, cam, light
+
+if __name__ == '__main__':
+    scene, cam, light = main()
+    scene.render(camera=cam, light=light)
+```
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Interactive Parameters
+Use `Param` objects to define interactive, real-time parameters for your model. A compatible UI-enabled renderer would show these as sliders. The default renderer will use their default values.
+
+```python
+from sdforge import box, Param
+
+# Create Param objects to control different aspects of the scene.
+# Param(name, default_value, min_value, max_value)
+p_size = Param("Box Size", 0.8, 0.2, 2.0)
+p_radius = Param("Corner Radius", 0.1, 0.0, 0.5)
+
+# Use the Param objects just like regular numbers.
+scene = box(size=p_size, radius=p_radius)
+
+scene.render()
+```
+
+### Custom GLSL with `Forge`
+For complex or highly-performant shapes, you can write GLSL code directly. This object integrates perfectly with the rest of the API.
+
+```python
+from sdforge import sphere, Forge
+
+# A standard library primitive
+s = sphere(1.2)
+
+# A custom shape defined with GLSL
+# 'p' is the vec3 point in space
+custom_box = Forge("""
+    vec3 q = abs(p) - vec3(0.8);
+    return length(max(q, 0.0)) + min(max(q.x, max(q.y, q.z)), 0.0);
+""")
+
+# The Forge object can be combined like any other shape
+scene = s - custom_box
+
+scene.render()
+```
+
+### Standalone GLSL Export
+Generate a complete, self-contained GLSL fragment shader for your scene. This file can be used directly in applications like Godot, TouchDesigner, or Three.js.
+
+```python
+from sdforge import box, sphere
+
+scene = box(1.5, radius=0.1) - sphere(1.2)
+
+# This single call generates the entire shader file.
+scene.export_shader("exported_shader.glsl")
+```
+
+## Installation
+
+### 1. System Dependencies
+
+The live viewer relies on `glfw`, which may require you to install its system-level libraries first. This is a common first step before installing the Python package.
+
+**On Debian/Ubuntu:**
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install libglfw3-dev
+```
+
+**On macOS (with Homebrew):**
+```bash
+brew install glfw
+```
+**On Windows:**
+`glfw` is generally bundled with the Python wheels, so no separate installation is typically needed.
+
+### 2. Python Package
+
+The library and its core dependencies can be installed using pip.
+
+**Standard Installation:**
+This will install the core library, including `numpy`, `moderngl`, and `glfw`, enabling all fundamental features like modeling, live preview with hot-reloading, and exporting to `.stl` and `.obj` formats.
+
+```bash
+pip install sdforge
+```
+
+**Optional Features:**
+For additional functionality, you can install "extras":
+
+*   **`.glb` Export:** To enable saving models to the GLB format, a modern and efficient format for web and game engines.
+    ```bash
+    pip install "sdforge[export]"
+    ```
+
+*   **Interactive UI:** To enable UI widgets like sliders for `Param` objects.
+    ```bash
+    pip install "sdforge[ui]"
+    ```
+
+*   **Full Installation:** To install all optional features at once.
+    ```bash
+    pip install "sdforge[full]"
+    ```
