F3 [Form From Function] – Playful and powerful 3D design using signed distance functions

Author Filip VisnjicCategory Mac Members People Posted on:

Created by Reza Ali, F3, [Form From Function], is a playful and powerful 3D design app that enables you to live code 3D form, rapidly iterate on its design, and export for 3D printing, rendering and animation. Whereas most 3d design programs represent form as polygons, vertices and/or bounded surfaces, F3 uses signed distance functions (SDFs) to build forms – designing 3D forms using 2D image cross sections.

SDFs are a different way of thinking about space, time and form. They allow you to create more interesting geometries and perform more complex modification operations. Check out shadertoy.com to see what people are making and doing with them.
