About
Signed Distance Functions (SDF), return the shortest distance between a point and an implicit curve (or surface when working in 3D space). The sign of the distance indicates whether the point falls inside or outside the curve.
The collection of nodes for Substance Designer (v.2021.2.x) in this bundle allow to easily create and manipulate SDF in order to create virtually any 2D shape. These SDF nodes have multiple advantages over \'traditional\' shape nodes in Substance Designer, notably the fact that they allow smooth blending between shapes, the ability to easily anti-alias them and the ability to generate very clean normals from the result. This makes them very powerful, and ideal for \"height map modeling\". Includes Source Files
Contents
1. Shape Nodes
This package contains 16 SDF Shape nodes that output a Signed Distance Field, all with custom parameters to control the way they look. They range from simple geometric shapes (circle, rectangle, triangles, regular polygons, etc.) to more complex shapes (bezier curve, vesica, cross, etc.).
Circle
Line
Rectangle
Rhombus
Equilateral Triangle
Isoceles Triangle
Triangle
Uneven Capsule
Pentagon
Hexagon
Octogon
Isoceles Trapezoid
Ellipse
Vesica
Cross
Bezier (Quadratic)
2. SDF Tools Nodes
In order to really get the most out of the SDF Shape nodes, this bundle also contains a set of nodes used to draw, combine, visualize and transform SDF.
SDF Draw
Typically this node would be placed at the end of a series of SDF nodes in order to render it out as a grayscale shape.
SDF Combine
In order to create more complex shapes, this node offers different options to combine SDF together, as well as different transitions between distance fields.
Operations:
Union (A ⋃ B)
Subtraction (A – B)
Intersection (A ⋂ B)
Interpolate (A → B)
Transitions:
No Transition
Chamfer
Smooth
Steps
SDF Transform
This node allows to modify an input SDF in multiple different ways create even more interesting effects.
Push, Offset and “Annularize”
Offset and Rotation
Wobble Effect
SDF Visualize
This node is also used to visualize a SDF, but unlike the SDF Draw node, it is mostly useful in order to “debug” a SDF as it give more information about it (inside/outside, distance “steps”, etc.). It is also possible to use this node creatively and generate some nice effects !
Release Notes
SDF Ellipse : Updated the node with a new method (The old method was causing artifacts when width or height had a value of 0)
SDF Bezier : Fixed a floating point precision issue sometimes causing artifacts when all points were almost aligned
SDF Vesica : Fixed an issue when using a non-square resolution
SDF Rectangle : Added a Corner Radius Parameter
SDF Pentagon, SDF Hexagon and SDF Octogon: Added a Roundness Parameter
SDF Combine : Added 2 new Transition options (Round and Steps)
SDF Visualizer : Added an additionnal color scheme
Rotation : Fixed an issue when rotating SDFs with a non-square resolution (Shape nodes and Transform node)
Added additional options on multiple SDF nodes to pick the Origin (pivot) of the shape
Changed \"soft\" range of the Offset parameter on multiple nodes
Replaced the Preview Mode (Toggle) on SDF nodes with a separate output
Updated some node icons to improve readability
Updated the Description, Category and Tags on some nodes
