Playing around with a "tunnel gun" that can open a tunnel in front of you that can be looked into or moved through. This type of thing is really simple in my engine - just spawn an SDF capsule subtraction that is locked to the player's view.

Experimenting with a SDF material blend function that is "stamps" the material volumetrically. The previous function I was using (which is the common one) blends the material around the surface influence area, and so would have no effect below ground.

Metallic materials are now officially supported in my engine. Previously, I hacked this for some videos by interpreting inverse "roughness" as "metallic", but obviously that isn't a great long-term solution :)

Cleaning up SDF physics objects with a portable hole. Oddly satisfying.

My engine doesn't currently support baking "metallic" into the SDF, but I can tweak a number in the shader to make everything metal 🤘🤘 I feel like I can hear a "clank" when shooting this stuff.

Sparse allocation/rendering of SDF bricks is now working! The pipeline is fully GPU-driven - a series of compute shaders that manages brick allocation/baking in a 3D texture atlas, followed by draw-indirect for rendering. Still a lot more work to do, including automatic LOD.

This article is a great dive into the nuts and bolts of creating one of those tiny (but neat) shaders. Both in terms of algorithms and GLSL character minimization!

Moving to PBR shading (with baked roughness) is already making things look a lot more "real", even with very primitive lighting. Coming next is imaged-based lighting for diffuse+specular, SSAO, and shadows. More details: 1/

Baking the SDF collision mesh sparsely via running marching cubes on world-space chunks. Each chunk's mesh is added to the physics sim as a static mesh body. When an SDF op is set to "dynamic" a dynamic body is created (and the op is longer included in the collision mesh).

Ran across this great article on sampled SDFs that has *great* interactive WebGL illustrations that work really well for building intuition on how this works. This technique works for SDF-based text rendering or baking of 3D geometry like in my project.

Tracing a ray against the BVH and highlighting the leaves that are tested. (This is an "any hit" test for demonstration purposes! Next vid is shows closest-hit raycast.)

Added "corner radius" / rounding, which is easy to apply to any SDF shape that has an exact (outer) distance function - just subtract the radius from the scale and then offset the computed distance by the same radius. So you get rounded shapes "for free" with 1 subtraction. 1/

Another large speedup to SDF brick rendering (-20-40%) that is obvious in hindsight: When baking bricks, calculate the texel bounds that actually contain the surface, and then rasterize/ray-march just those bounds rather than the full brick bounds. 1/

Experimenting with strong materials that can't be dug through using normal tools. Gameplay ideas: - block player movement, making underground navigation more complex - enclose special resources that need to be extracted using explosives or other means

It is now possible to vomit (SDF) cubes in my engine! This video shows the "sticky" mode first, which is satisfying with smooth blends, followed by the "dynamic body" mode.

First version of underground "biomes". They're currently defined by distance to the terrain surface. The idea is that different biomes have different resources, obstacles, caves, etc. The bottom one is very dark🤠 [cont]

The beginnings of prototyping digging/mining gameplay. Resources are embedded in the ground and are dislodged when the surface is cut away. They're placed in colored regions that reveal their proximity. Lots of different directions to go with this, continuing to experiment!

Experimenting with "digging" using rotated cubes as the subtraction primitive instead of spheres. I like the jagged/angular/detailed look, but I'm going to try other shapes (like tetrahedron or pyramid) that aren't all right angles.

Finished implementing diffuse and specular image-based ambient lighting, and things are looking a lot nicer. This is still without any shadows or AO, so that's next! I also switched to using ACES for tonemapping, which is similar to what I had before but seems a bit nicer.

Demo of bilinear interpolation of SDF samples: - Negative (interior) samples of the analytic SDF are blue, positive (exterior) samples are orange. - Circles are drawn around samples to show distance magnitude. - Intermediate bilinear interp samples / segments are drawn. 1/

Got SDF collision mesh generation (via marching cubes) working with Jolt Physics! The collision mesh is regenerated when the SDF scene changes. Individual SDF primitives can be made "dynamic", which adds them as physics objects. 1/
