Hah, I actually wrote a similar constrain solver that uses Fidget's evaluation + differentiation! This blog post was getting too long, so I'm going to write it up separately, but in the meantime:
demo: https://mattkeeter.com/projects/fidget/constraints
source: https://github.com/mkeeter/fidget/blob/main/demos/constraint...
docs on the solver: https://docs.rs/fidget/latest/fidget/solver/

Thanks Reza!
Re: Fidget
#15Oh wow. This would have been incredibly useful to have found when I was writing my own implicit-surface drawer. My approach is similar in some ways (interval arithmetic), and different in others (not as optimized, I directly produce GLSL for a fragment shader).
Honestly I'm tempted to just toss everything away and replace it with (a reimplementation of) this. Dunno if I should be happy or sad about that.

#17Hi, this is my project :)
I particularly love this corner of CS because there's something for everyone – data structures and algorithms, low-level performance work, compilers, rendering / computer graphics, UI/UX for design tools, GPGPU programming, and more!
I'll be answering questions in the threads as I see them, but feel free to connect on social media (https://mattkeeter.com/links/) or follow my blog's RSS feed for further updates (https://mattkeeter.com/atom.xml)

#18Here is a thought experiment. What if 3D printers support implicit representation natively. Resin printers are basically physical marching cube machines. FSM would need an algorithm for following contours but should be doable.

I kinda tried doing this with a custom FDM slicer for SDFs a long while back. I hit some roadblocks, but the concept was pretty simple: slicers by definition need to know what exists in a 2d slice of a 3d object. So why not render an SDF directly as slices and then act on that? You're basically then just trying to turn a raster into a vector (a toolpath).
The code is simple and hacky as hell -- very much an experiment -- but I still think that it is a plausible route forward. https://github.com/daeken/AjaPrint

#20I've been yearning for updated winamp/eggdrop style music visualizations... this is very far outside my domain knowledge but feels like it could be used somehow..
