regl VS libfive

Author of Threlte here 👋 with two cents about Three.js: It's exceptionally well written in terms of rigid and consistent interfaces that allow frameworks such as Threlte to exist to make wrappers/renderers that are as slim as possible. This is due to it being strictly OO but definitely something i would make top priority when creating a new 3D library. Personally I find regl also very interesting with a completely different approach than Babylon or Three.js.

If you go to https://github.com/regl-project/regl , you'll see the last commit was made literally yesterday.

You can create a HTML Canvas with a WebGL context (I suggest using a library like Ogl or Regl )and run the functions exported by this library in a fragment shader, then save the current frame by a method like this or any other.

The author, Mikola Lysenko, is a remarkable engineer. He's wildly prolific, but I my favorite project of his is regl[1], which is an unparalleled WebGL library. I think it might be the best-in-class example of all OpenGL libraries, though I have admittedly fallen behind on the state-of-the-art of desktop OpenGL.

bit like regl?

Thanks! I made it with regl: https://github.com/regl-project/regl

You probably have already seen this, but I would take a look at libfive for inspiration

You can find a few algorithms online (such as csg.js and libfive), but most of them are either not robust or fast enough for real-time graphics.

No; Bauble doesn't know how to "rasterize" SDFs into meshes; it only knows how to raymarch them. It's theoretically possible, but it's a pretty complex problem that would take me much too long to figure out and implement. So Bauble is relegated to just making pretty pictures for now. If you want to produce meshes using SDFs, check out https://libfive.com/

This is a mid-point in Matt Keeter's research.

(and also see: https://www.gitlab.com/kavalogic-inc/tovero "a binding of Libfive to Common Lisp, including a standalone REPL-based viewer"[https://github.com/Irev-Dev/curated-code-cad] can be integrated with https://www.gitlab.com/kavalogic-inc/clive

Currently I'm using OpenSCAD (w/ BlockSCAD as a front-end: https://www.blockscad3d.com because I prefer a sort of visual representation), but have been stymied by the lack of file I/O (I want to write out G-code).

Still looking for a 3D modeling tool which is:

- a node or block editor
