@hollowone @metin In theory, everything you need to get started is already included in the SDF Modeler .zip. It contains sample scenes, just JSON files with all the shape definitions and it also contains all the shaders. The main challenge you'll likely run into is to evaluate the scenes at runtime. SDF Modeler stores all distance computations in a texture atlas and therefore has very little runtime cost to render them.

🧵 Gave the drone a paint job in SDF Modeler.

The red color is a placeholder for now. I'm going to make the color full black on white, so I can use the vertex colors in the exported mesh as a mask to determine the final colors in Blender.

More will follow tomorrow…

New SDF Modeler release 0.5.3 is out! It includes additional blend modes like Push and Avoid, improved splines, and a ton of UI, usability and quality tweaks.

Inspired by a Dennis Salvatier drawing.

I'll export the scene to Blender for a Cycles rendering, which I will post in this 🧵

Mario modeling update…

So, yeah… This is where it gets a little weird. 😁

@1st_C_Lord Thanks! Looks interesting, I will definitely check it out.

🧵 The final mech head, modeled and rendered in SDF Modeler.

The renderer is still in an early stage, rendering with a minimal amount of samples and heavily denoising, hence the washed-out details. But I like the slightly painterly result, and I added a grungy texture.

🧵 Mech head concept sculpture update…

I'm reaching the point where more details risk diluting the impression. Have to see how much further I go. 🙂

@metin @daniel aww Thanks Metin :)

My first 3D doodle in SDF Modeler for macOS. 😊

I'll port it to Blender for a nice rendering tomorrow, as SDF Modeler's path tracing renderer is not ready yet.

@sjb3d It was just a quick test, but I'm really liking this direction so far!

@sjb3d I'm following your lead :D

@ephtracy Thank you! :) I think one of the main inspirations I took from an early version of MagicaCSG was the idea of having small local volumes everywhere, even though that feels quite obvious nowadays. I also checked out a more recent version a few days ago—the quality of your implementation is truly impressive.

@eobet @metin I’m here, there and everywhere these days :D

@metin cool :) have fun!

New SDF Modeler release v0.5 with a first simple spline implementation!

@metin @unjello @gmc Always those MAC users :P

@supertobi
It’s free for everyone to download. I ran into some issues with the recent release and had to remove it temporarily, but you can still download version v0.3.3. I’ll publish the updated version again once the issues are resolved, and the release notes will be back. Sorry about the inconvenience! 😄 Here’s the link to the main page: https://sascha-rode.itch.io/sdf-modeler
