This is the second experimental release for Blender 4.5-5.1 and MacOS!

Still missing core features, but it fixes over a dozen bugs and improves UX.

v0.3.7 for #ConjureSDF is out now!

It's the first experimental release adding support for Blender 4.5-5.1 and MacOS!

It's not yet at feature parity with v0.2.3, but we will get back to that in the next few months. Roadmap below!

Bounded rendering in #ConjureSDF v0.3, a free update to support Blender 4.5+

Full release later this month.

Speeds up rendering by only caring about pixels covered by the bounds of SDF groups.

Hard to believe that #ConjureSDF released exactly a year ago today!

Never could I have expected the level of response that Conjure received. Thank you all so much🙏💚

Here's a look back at all the progress, and a slight look ahead👀

You definitely have a point. While a lot can be done with the existing mesh output, cleaner/more optimized geo would of course be great.
Even if you combine it with BQR or quadremesher, results are not ideal. I have plans to improve on this though, with better low poly output options🫡

v0.3 should release near the end of the summer!
It'll be a free update, included in the Public Alpha

Working on implementing cubic bezier primitives for #ConjureSDF v0.3, a from the ground up rewrite for Blender 4.5+ 👀

Continuing on #ConjureSDF v0.3, a from the ground up rewrite for Blender 4.5+

Rendering SDFs at a lower resolution gives a proportionally larger increase in performance.
for ex. at 75% resolution, performance can be up to 2x higher.

still #ConjureSDF v0.3, a from the ground up rewrite for Blender 4.5+

Custom outlines, multiple selection, and visualization of non solids. The devil is in the details👁️

More #ConjureSDF v0.3, a from the ground up rewrite for Blender 4.5+

Implemented direct SDF selection via GPU compute. No more annoying mesh proxies preventing you from selecting what you actually wanted!

Slowly working on #ConjureSDF v0.3, a from the ground up rewrite for Blender 4.5+

Per primitive colors have been on my to do list for a long time, but other features sadly always took priority. But not anymore👀

As part of the 4.3 upgrade for #ConjureSDF I've made a simple rendering engine to understand all the API changes. I've dubbed it #Manifold

It's free, open source, for anyone to pick apart👀

As part of the 4.3 upgrade for #ConjureSDF I'm working on a simple triangle based rendering engine.

I'm using this to get to grips with the new rendering API. And to validate potential macOS support👀

New blending variants coming to #ConjureSDF in v0.2.2

Inset can now be flipped into an Outset. And flipping Unions results in an avoid-esque behaviour👀
