Primitive to Signed Distance Field

[weymouth]

I need the capability to compute the signed distance function to a primitive. (See https://discourse.julialang.org/t/which-package-function-for-signed-distance-fields/43487)

Since any(?) other primitive can can meshed, the first order of business would be a mesh2SDF function. I've found similar functions coded up in other languages (see post above). I would be happy to add this capability myself, but I'm pretty new to Julia (<1 month) and unlikely to get it in the package in a way that works for everyone.

Let me know if people are interested in this and willing to refactor some hacked together code.

I am 100% interested in this. I'm a little bandwidth constrained, but I should have enough time to refactor/optimize though if you put something together. Would love to have this for the solid modelling and path planning ecosystem.

This got moved out of GeometryBasics and if it will get anywhere, I don't think we'll add it here ;)

True enough. Where did this move?

There are many routines in Descartes: https://github.com/juliageometry/descartes.jl

Ah great. I missed the memo on this one.
