Thank you for the kind words, and you're on point with "poetry using math". I started 2-3 months ago or so doing this stuff, so don't be too intimidated to start. Especially with t…

Thank you! Do we have a guarantee that these subcurves are solvable with Newton's method? The approach with derivatives has this because we know there is one crossing, and also cli…

What you described in your first message seemed similar to the approach used in the degree N root solving algorithm by Cem Yuksel; splitting the curve in simpler segments, then bis…

Thanks, I'll look into this. BTW, your 2nd shadertoy link is off (maybe it's private? Edit: seems you fixed it, thanks)

I'm interested in the approach you're describing but it's hard to follow a comment in the margin. Is there a paper or an implementation example somewhere?

Finding the sign of the distance has been extremely challenging to me in many ways, so I'm very curious about the approach you're presenting. The snippet you shared has a "a³-bcd ≤…

Ah nice for noticing d!=0 is d>0. Not sure how I missed the multiplication to get rid of the vector form; I guess I was too obsessed with the x-x trick... I added your changes to t…

Is this tutorial kind of abandoned? There are many teased chapters that never seem to have materialized somehow.

This is not equivalent; the `a` in `c.r+=w*a` is different, you need the original untouched w. The mountain looses its crack with your version. But! You can save 1 char by replacin…

Incredible, thank you very much. I've included the script for a quick fix, I'll see how to make to cook something myself at some point!

Yeah. If you want implicit conversion, you need to specify a constructor like float(cond), but that would be longer than the ternary form. I thought about using a vec3() but vec3(.…

Ah, someone reported this to me today, but I must admit I have no idea how to address the issue. Currently the canvas animations are stopped when out of context, but yeah they have…

Hey, thank you, that's a nice one. I added the change to the Shadertoy version with your credit. I will add a note/update on the blog and demo page later. Thanks again :)

Hehe, thanks. The thing is, it could hardly have been prerecorded animations :D I don't know if you tried before, but compressing noise is particularly hard, so 16 videos would hav…

1. depends if you're in the physics main loop or not; in Godot for example the physics main loop is based on the project configuration, not correlated with the display (I could hav…
