Horizontal geodesic plane in Nil geometry with non-Euclidean lighting

Raymarching in Nil geometry with a horizontal geodesic plane and multiple light sources. The interplay between the non-Euclidean geodesics and the flat plane surface creates unusual lighting and reflection patterns. Light bounces follow helical paths in the Nil metric. Controls: WASD to rotate, arrow keys to translate.
