Any new updates coming?

[lonnietc]

Hello,

I have just been experimenting with Shadertoy and came a cross your project but it seems to have troubles with voxel based examples from the ShaderToy site:

https://www.shadertoy.com/view/MtcGDH
https://www.shadertoy.com/view/ssf3zH

Any updates coming soon?
Thanks

Which platform are you running on? The last example (ESVO) works on my Ubuntu machine.
Anyway, I will have a deeper look this weekend :)

Hello, I am currently running on Windows 11 (x86).

As I am very interested in voxels engines and now SDF's since I think that they could work really well together to extend the resolution of voxels systems like SSVDAG and HashDAG to well beyond 128k^3 resolutions, I am investigating what it might take to combine your Shadertoy Viewer with something like EditSDF (https://stephaneginier.com/archive/editSDF/) or SDFEditor (https://github.com/Sondro/SDFEditor) so that it could have a built in editor after which I want to build out a high-resolution voxel engine integrated with this idea.

Thanks again

Hello,

I also found that this shadertoy shader crashes out your viewer all together.

We need better error handling when processing an invalid URL.

so the URL for the SDF Girl is not valid?

I'm a bit confused on this. Thanks

I cannot open this URL on my browser. Maybe it is still private?

Strange as it is a public site.Are you able to go to justHttps://www.shadertoy.comThanks On May 27, 2025 12:35 PM, Yingwei Zheng ***@***.***> wrote:dtcxzyw left a comment (dtcxzyw/shadertoy#1) so the URL for the SDF Girl is not valid? https://www.shadertoy.com/view/wcKGR3 I'm a bit confused on this.

If you are able to go to the shadertoy.com site then you could type "selfie" in the search which should show you "selfie girl" which is an SDF of a girl in a hoodie.  This is interesting since only 32 math equations define the whole scene. Great data compression. I am also looking at the Minecraft shaders that allow in-editor editing. Thanks again

Unfortunately volume textures have not been implemented yet :(

[dtcxzyw]

Update: For the third example (https://www.shadertoy.com/view/ssf3zH), the texture for the grass block is wrong (See buffer C).

Reference result (Chrome):

Incorrect result (MacBook Air M2):

Incorrect result (Win11, RTX 4060 Laptop):

It works now :) I will post a fix later.

[lonnietc]

Awesome !!!

[dtcxzyw]

The second one and third one have been fixed by 3bd9ad3.
You can try again with the windows build once the artifacts are available: https://github.com/dtcxzyw/shadertoy/actions/runs/15323377472

On a side question about shader systems, what do you think about

Shadered -- https://shadered.org/ (MIT Licensed)

and

GPUpad -- https://github.com/houmain/gpupad (GPL v3 Licensed)

I've been looking them over as well to experiment with a little.

Can you file separate issues for them? It will make feature requests/bug reports easier to track.
