my first code contribution to #TiXL, @newemka.bsky.social for guiding me through the implementation and PR process, it feels so good to contribute and be part of the team!

pixtur showed me how the SDF shader nodes work under the hood in C#, so thanks to him I was able to make my own custom SDF spatial distortion effect by sampling simplex noise with xyz offsets, the stairs in my scene look so much better now

this scene made entierly out of (too many) signed distance field functions and rendered barely in real time with TiXL, I love exploring it.

not freezing each growth stage can result in some pretty interesting results too

Dendritic sort of setup I started messing with, inspired after the TiXL meetup on discord last night

getting so cool, tweaked normal sampling distance, wrapped point space for endless vertical offset, i want to try and make a carbonated underwater look

Was messing about a bit today with this node in TiXL, MoveToSDFsurface, which i can adjust to be relative to individual point scale, the result technique is really cool, excited to mess with it further

some late night messing with TiXL, im trying out the new SDF mesh fragment field feature with a bunch of fun render comp tricks with some different render targets and re-use camera youtu.be/-OS_HSJPu0k

its rough but it was cool to try this workflow, karma xpu, cops then dacinci resolve for free optical flow motion blur
