My SDF-2D 3D-viewer is finally functional, so to celebrate I'm morphing my pacman/pie into a circle back and forth.
The shadertoy version is visible here: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/333XDH
(For the transform, since it's not present in this version of the code, it's basically a mix according to time between the pie and the sdf+gradient of a circle)
Built a little bridge for the player to cross the stream while adding some collectables for the player to discover

I think I'm done with it. I fixed the clipping and the colors.
I'm still not satisfied with the raymarch glitching a bit, especially on the summit edges. If someone has ideas to improve it, I shared it on shadertoy: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/333XDH
I believe that's because we're matching the exit edge of the shape when it's close, but I'm not exactly sure how to fix that. In any case, patch welcome :)
The box cut is not perfect but we're getting there!
Edit: also, fun stuff, I realized I could return transparent pixels, so the web page background takes over and it looks like the shape is floating on it. It's stupid but I love it :3
You might be familiar with SDF in 2D, but how about a 3D representation of it?
Trying out the river building system and it turned out pretty good in the end, I learned a lot

Here are a few simpel enemies I have tried to code, with basic movement and healthbars

I swear every time I open ShaderToy.com because I'm trying to figure out how to make a certain effect, I just end up spending the next 20 minutes admiring the insane shaders people create.
For example (dizzy warning) - https://www.shadertoy.com/embed/7lBXRG?gui=true&t=10&paused=false #3D #Shader
Anti-aliasing with screen space pixel size vs L1-norm from numerical derivatives (fwidth) in 2D vs 3D.
It's funny how simple and fast a basic raytracer can be.
I remember in my first year of IT school (2007-2008) when we had to implement one on CPU, and we had to wait several minutes for one picture to be rendered.
Of course this one is still very basic, but hey it's in real time baby
For #wipwednesday I've been working on a custom toon shader in Godot. Shading is controlled with gradients. The outline uses the model's vertex colors.
The next feature I want to add is to control outline thickness with the alpha channel on vertex colors. This is for Robot Shooter
Last time I was building this little forest meadow of some sort, now I added in some platforming and gameplay to test it out

Dear #shader #graphics #programming community:
Where is the rendering error on my raymarched sphere grid coming from?
Farther away spheres distort in circular patterns when stacked. Dunno if it's caused by space repeating function running out of accuracy, and far away grid components starting to count in..
But it's kind of hard to do a grid without a repeating function!
Any ideas appreciated.
Building a little forest on the fields of this level to eventually add some platforming and gameplay

I just made a new release of ShaderWorkshop¹ (v0.5.0).
Since my last release announcement, quite a few features got added (about 2 releases):
- recursive include directive
- fps indicator
- reworked error management
- mouse support
- live controls for floats, int, bool and colors
