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

houdini tip:
Did you know you can set specific sops how they are displayed in the opengl viewport?
Or you can use the 'Visualize Properties' SOP and set it there, it will carry over in OBJ level

its going to be a short music video, im almost done blocking out the cameras for the first pass
seamless looping little flame spritesheet I made in TiXL for my SDF scene
It's all raymarching SDFs (a lot of combined basic functions and some more heavy mixed fractal functions) in TiXL (it used to be called TOOLL3) but I am adding a lot of grain in post as well
thank you! Hoping to get some animation out of it at some point
this scene made entierly out of (too many) signed distance field functions and rendered barely in real time with TiXL, I love exploring it.

the merge packed node will automatically assign names to each merged packed prim based on its node name in the network view #houdini #tip

This is your chance to watch the all-time classic ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST on the
big screen in a new 4K restoration. Milos Forman's dramedy won five Academy Awards in 1976, including Best Picture. Now showing in select cinemas across the UK and Ireland.
More messing with SDFs with #tixl
homage to the old abstract art pics I used to make in C4D when I was a teenager

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
I removed a bunch of nodes and the frame rate is crazy good now, and the look is pretty much the same

this comp test is definitely not real-time friendly
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
