Chisel - SDF modeling for blender

[Metin_Seven]

@KenzoCG

AR and MasterXeon are the originators and then a team of developers eventually surrounded its development.

Yeah, I’m not Jerry, I’m a coder behind the tools.

Thanks for the info. Learned something again. I always had the impression that Hard Ops and Boxcutter were Jerry / MasterXeon’s one-man projects.

@rrtk

no Nvidia specific stuff, or it will be impossible to support all.
Still, metal sometimes fails, though, but that is a matter of me not having a lot of metal experience. Should get stable along the way. I don’t see a reason why not.

That’s great. There are a few quirks on the Blender API side when it comes to Metal. The developer of ConjureSDF has recently submitted some issues to the Blender devs. Here’s an example. Hopefully those will be fixed soon.

Just pure mesh and baking only to planes so far. I don’t think coloring and more rendering will be useful for the scope of the project. It was created to help with modeling, not as a full render option.

OK. I hope you’ll consider color blending as well, as it can be a great aid in painting, texturing and sculpting once converted to mesh vertex colors. For example, black and white tinted areas (with a grayscale transition in the blend) can be used as masks in Sculpt Mode, and used as boundaries for painting / texturing.

I also hope nested / grouped shapes will soon be added, as that significantly improves modeling intricate shapes.

I’ve added Chisel to the Blender add-ons section of my Big SDF Thread, and I’m looking forward to following its development.
