I have no idea how this shader works, but reducing the iteration count in the second loop kinda looks nice too.

A new video of a wobbly cube that's rendered via ray-marching a discretized SDF. Hypnotic!
Distances are reconstructed via trilinear interpolation of cached values on a grid.
This is the equivalent of what was shown in my earlier 2D animations (see below!)
