Level Set Volume Nodes Feedback and Testing

blender procedural textures are volumetric information with color attribute with the particularity of having no boundaries

Interesting way to understand textures. But I think they are different, procedural textures don’t really have VDB Grids I think, otherwise the grid would act as a resolution, but procedural textures don’t seem to have resolution.

@BD3D

but it could be visualized as a “level set” if we choose a minimal density right?

I am not sure if that’s what level set is supposed to be. From what Brecht said,

@brecht

Level set volume for shapes with a sharp boundary defining what is inside/outside, like a mesh surface. Each voxel has a signed distance to the nearest point on the surface, where the sign indicates inside/outside.

The level set volume seems to be defined not by density, but a set boundry that the voxels would use as a reference for where they are in the space. Not sure if I get it right though.

@BD3D

So why not using all volume-like information in a single workflow?
it would be more easy to understand and use + more flexible than having a bunch of operators separated in multiple subcategories

I still don’t quite understand what you mean by “single workflow”, can you expand on that?
