Testing the new MathOPS SDF-based custom Blender build, adding all kinds of primitive shapes, changing blending algorithms, et cetera.

Eat that, Picasso! 😆 I think I'll 3D-print this, put in in an art gallery, call it "Dance of the SDFs" and ask $ 100,000 for it.

I've limited the frame rate for this video. The actual viewport refresh is smoother.

I love Blender and I barely understand it. Thanks for some inspiration to jump back in and go off-tutorial!
I do hope to find some nice 3d functions to play with, and animate some parameter sweeps through them soon.
Nearly finished the famous donut tutorial.

@MattMoose 👍👍 The Blender version I mentioned is a separate build, centered around the SDF modeling method, which is my personal favorite modeling approach, because of its total freedom. If you’re interested in SDF, I can recommend trying the free SDF Modeler first if you’re not yet familiar with Blender. SDF Modeler is much more accessible: https://sascha-rode.itch.io/sdf-modeler . There’s also a PDF manual among the downloads.

Thanks for the heads-up, very interesting. I guess I've lived in a default CSG mode throughout my decades of messing with eg. POVray, KiCAD, etc. Fascinating to see different ways of making stuff. Much appreciated :)

@MattMoose POV-Ray, good ol' times! 💚

Yes, I loved it. Being able to describe a scene in maths and English, then try animating whatever time-variant parameters I could weave into the code. What a great way to learn so many things at once.
