MagicaCSG: A lightweight signed distance field editor and renderer
- fire 5y agoIs there a repo available with more info? The page is effectively blank at the moment - a download link, image carousel, and an empty changelog
- tylermw 5y agoephtracy (the creator of MagicaVoxel and now MagicaCSG) doesn't open source their tools, as far as I know.
- AnthonBerg 5y agoHere’s an announcement on Twitter that leads to some information: https://twitter.com/ephtracy/status/1395589747259674624 https://twitter.com/ephtracy/status/1395589747259674624
- plafl 5y agoGoogle gives me this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rgwNsNCpbhg https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rgwNsNCpbhg I will check it at home, I have started my PhD recently and I find the subject very interesting. It got my attention after reading some papers (i.e. DeepSDF). One of the best pages on the subject is Iñigo Quilez's blog: https://www.iquilezles.org/index.html https://www.iquilezles.org/index.html
- ramses0 5y agoWhat are signed distance fields? https://jasmcole.com/2019/10/03/signed-distance-fields/ https://jasmcole.com/2019/10/03/signed-distance-fields/ …very decent blog post!
- jasmcole 5y agoI wrote that - thanks! Somehow it ranks highly on Google, but there are some links at the bottom to some other (better!) posts that I read first.
- ramses0 5y agoUpon a slight re-read, it seems that SDF's have a lot in common with magnetism, and potentially gravity? (ie: what is the closest "reacting" force) Your visual examples made things pretty clear, and I appreciated the simplicity (it's just "what's closest"), and humility (all that work to end up 'worse off'). Thanks for blogging!
- tekromancr 5y agoHuh, funny seeing this. I JUST learned about signed distance fields from a suckerpinch video this week.
- FlashBlaze 5y agoCan you provider a link? YouTube does not return anything. Thanks.
- AnthonBerg 5y agoIt’s actually here!: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HLRdruqQfRk https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HLRdruqQfRk Paper: http://tom7.org/lowercase/lowercase.pdf http://tom7.org/lowercase/lowercase.pdf Source code – and font downloads!: http://tom7.org/lowercase/ http://tom7.org/lowercase/
- FlashBlaze 5y agoThanks a lot for the resources.
- ArtWomb 5y ago"A lightweight signed distance field editor and renderer" sounds like such fun to play with. Manipulate implicit surfaces by hand. Or script. Perhaps using keyframes. And output deformable 3D morphing mesh animations ;)
- ur-whale 5y agoWindows only?
- Assossa 5y agoThis is only the 0.0.0 release. I'm sure he will release it for other platforms later in development.
- ellis0n 5y agoLooks good! What is format for the .mcsg project file? It looks like JSON. Any loader?
