Experiments in mixed rendering in Flitter
The lava blobs are SDF surfaces rendered with a custom shader and the green sphere is a triangle mesh rendered with the normal lighting shader. The same lighting is passed into both renderers and they output into the same colour and depth buffers
Code here if anyone is interested:

I still really want to add a built-in SDF renderer to Flitter, but I haven't quite figured out how it should work. I guess it should be work something like how I currently do constructive solid geometry with meshes, but should I support custom SDF functions?…
Unexpectedly interesting side-effect!
I modified my SDF blob shader to colour the pixels based on computational cost so I could do some visual analysis, and this ghostly result is almost more interesting than the original…
