Signed Distance Fields (SDFs) are powerful tools for rendering complex shapes and effects in 2D and 3D spaces. In this workshop, tailored for FUSE users, you’ll dive into the theory behind SDFs and learn how to implement them in FUSE to create intricate 3D models and animations. From understanding the basics to applying advanced techniques, this session will equip you with the knowledge to leverage SDFs effectively in your visual programming projects with FUSE.
Course Outline
During this workshop, participants will:
- Explore the concept of Signed Distance Fields and their applications in 2D space.
- Gain an overview of various 2D SDFs and learn how to combine them for complex shapes.
- Apply noise functions and use it as an SDF and explore its modulation and cracking effects.
- Learn domain operations to modulate the input of SDFs.
- Experiment with domain repeat and domain warping techniques.
- Utilize attributes to apply up to three values to an SDF and explore their usage based on color.
- Apply the same concepts and techniques to 3D SDFs with basic raymarching.
