This example renders a 3D scene of a box and a sphere using a signed distance function. The shader code defines `fBox` and `fBoxCheap` to compute box distances, while `DistanceFunction` combines a sphere, a box, and a guard region with an absolute offset. The scene is visualized by ray marching, likely through a graphics API such as OpenGL or Vulkan, as the code is written in a CGINC shader include file. The final image shows the primitive shapes intersecting, with the guard acting as a thin shell around the box’s interior.

This visualization shows a raymarched 3D scene where a box and a sphere blend together, with a small protective void around the object. The shape repeats in a mirrored grid pattern that scrolls over time, driven by the `_Time.x` uniform. The code defines signed distance functions in a Unity shader file (`weirdboxes.cginc`), using custom `fBox`, `fBoxCheap`, and `pModMirror2` functions to compute the scene geometry, with a guard term that adds a thin hollow shell around the result.

This visualization renders a 3D raymarched scene using a single shader written in HLSL. It displays a collection of geometric primitives—planes, spheres, boxes, ellipsoids, tori, cylinders, cones, prisms, capsules, and pyramids—each defined by signed distance functions (SDFs) and composited in a shader. The code includes multiple SDF implementations with both distance-bound and correct-distance variants, demonstrating how shape intersections and subtractions are computed. The scene is rendered through a fragment shader that applies raymarching techniques, with an anti-aliasing toggle controlled by the `AA` constant.

A raymarched SDF scene animates a rotating polar-mirrored structure, alternating between a box and a sphere while a central guard region constrains the shape. The effect relies on a custom distance function in `polar.cginc`, using `pModPolar` for angular repetition, `Box` and `Sphere` primitives, and a `fBoxCheap` guard. Time-driven rotation via `_Time.x` continuously modifies the mirror angle. The rendering approach is typical of shader-based raymarching, with no external data source or JavaScript library involved.

This visualization renders a raymarched shader scene in Unity, showing two intersecting spheres whose sizes and positions are modulated by a repeating sine wave. The code in `spheres.cginc` defines a distance function that combines a static sphere with a second sphere whose radius oscillates via `_SinTime`, using a smooth maximum operation to merge their shapes. The scene is generated entirely on the GPU through the shader, with no external data source, and the repeating pattern is created by applying a modulo operation to the position coordinates.

A Unity shader demonstrates a mesh-spherization effect by morphing a flat textured surface into a sphere. The vertex shader normalizes each vertex position, scales it by a configurable radius, and blends between the original and spherical coordinates using an amount parameter. The fragment shader samples the main texture and halves its color output. The shader uses Unity's `UnityObjectToClipPos` for projection and applies fog through standard CG macros. The material exposes radius and amount properties for interactive control.

This WebGL visualization uses p5.js to render a dynamic 3D scene composed of primitive shapes, including planes, boxes, spheres, cylinders, cones, ellipsoids, and toruses. The code applies normalMaterial to map normal vectors to RGB colors, with ambient and directional lighting enhancing the depth of each geometry. Through camera positioning and rotation transformations, the shapes appear to float and spin in space. The example demonstrates p5.js’s WEBGL renderer capabilities for creating three-dimensional compositions from basic geometric primitives, highlighting the library’s built-in shape functions and material systems.

This visualization demonstrates Möbius transformations applied to a 3D object in real time. A shader written in Unity’s ShaderLab and CG/HLSL takes each vertex, performs a reverse stereographic projection onto a 3-sphere, rotates the hypersphere in 4D space, then projects back to flat 3D. The user controls the rotation amount via the `_Amount` slider. The surface shader uses the Standard lighting model and applies vertex colors, with adjustable saturation, smoothness, and metallic properties through exposed parameters.

basic kodelife raymarch with outlines

A raymarched scene shows a red and blue sphere smoothly blending into a moving box, with a black outline appearing when rays pass close to the surface. The shader, written in GLSL 150 and run in Kodelife, uses signed distance functions for the sphere and box, a smooth minimum operation for the blend, and a central-difference method for surface normals. Lighting is computed from a fixed directional light, while the raymarching loop performs up to 50 steps to find surface hits or near misses.
