SDFModeler

A free, open source SDF Modeling Toolset for Houdini!

UPDATE 2.0 - Now running on the GPU using OpenCL in Cops!

You can find documentation and tutorials for the toolset here!

Installation

1. Download and unpack zip file into folder of your choice.
2. Copy SDFM.json to houdini package folder

   Windows: c:/Users/<yourusername>/Documents/houdini19.5
   OSX: ~/Library/Preferences/houdini/19.5
   Linux: ~/houdini19.5
   

3. Replace "PATH/TO/PACKAGE/" with path to the folder. In my case that will read: "C:/Users/Dominik/Documents/Houdini Assets/Project Packs/SDFModeler" Make sure to use "/" as seperators, not "\" otherwise it won't work.

A good bit of the base code for the SDF operations were taken from https://mercury.sexy/hg_sdf/ Thanks to the mercury team for releasing the code under the MIT license!

AI Disclaimer

AI was used to translate my original VEX code into opencl along with a few other additions to the solver written in opencl (modifiers, and new groups structure)
