One of the tedious aspects of modeling SDFs with raw shader code is adjusting the position of objects, so I'm adding transform gizmos into my tool They write changes directly to the shader on disk, so I don't need an external object hierarchy tdhooper.github.io/offline-shad...

Hi Bluesky! With the sudden closure of Jumpship, I'm looking for a new role I'm looking for anywhere I can make beautiful things with code, my ideal role would be a mix of graphics programming, technical art, and gameplay programming (or anything else interactive)
