 ## Usage Example
 
-
-For finer control over the viewport and settings, use the following built-in methods to generate
-OpenGL-style perspective and view matrixes.
+While convenience methods are nice, `svg3d` allows full control over the viewport, scene
+geometry, image style, and shaders. Methods are based on OpenGL standards and nomenclature
+where possible, and images can be created from any set of vertices and faces - even from
+ragged arrays! Simply pass an array of vertices and a list of arrays (one for vertex
+indices of each face, as below) to `svg3d.Mesh.from_vertices_and_faces` to render whatever
+geometry you like. Custom shader models can be implemented as a callable that takes
