Another post on unit gradient fields (UGFs) a generalization of modeling with signed distance fields (SDFs). These techniques enable the most powerful use of implicit modeling in engineering applications like @nTopology.
New post as part of a new series on Unit Gradient Fields (UGFs): https://www.blakecourter.com/2023/05/05/what-is-offset.html
UGFs are more versatile than distance fields when applying implicit modeling to engineering applications. The new #nTop logo, for example, hints at them. As we ramp up to #cdfam23, expect frequent posts discussing the role of UGFs when engineering with implicits.
Time to build a new CAD system. NURBS as smooth as your lips.

Has anyone else had the feeling lately, perhaps when typing, that you are playing the role of GPT?
AaronPeople who are intelligent tend to aggrandize intelligence. Do not overlook the impacts of hard work, determination, community support, access to resources, and luck.
A few folks wondered if there was any “there” there in the post on hyperbolic tessellations. Will expand the topic if there’s more interest. More here:
Great to see so much interest in what we're doing at QE3D! Here's a tutorial and case study on the use of multiscale, hyperbolic lattices to improve product fitness, functionality, and fidelity.
