Constant Brush Distance | Voxel Dev Showcase

Testing with a brush input method where the distance from the camera of the input position is constant after initiating the brush operation.

Good to see my boi Gabe still at it. Keep up the good voxel work. We appreciate it dude.

[@Cotocant]

Is it just casting out to a sphere with the radius set as the distance from the first point of contact with the terrain?

[@GabeRundlett]

No, that only works with signed distance functions and is a technique known as sphere tracing

[@DeltaNovum]

This is probably done by just holding down a key?

[@Siphonife]

bro how is it creating the mesh that fast T.T black magic

[@GabeRundlett]

Exactly! That's why it's ray-traced. There's only the voxel data. No mesh!

[@Siphonife]

@@GabeRundlett oh you are ray-marching in the shader? I've watched stuff on ray-marching but I don't get it. I see the benefits but I'm too math noob.
