Signed Distance Fields

Signed Distance Fields is a mathematical representation that encodes the shortest distance from any point in space to the boundary of a shape, with the sign indicating whether the point lies inside or outside the shape, serving as a foundational construct for efficient and high-quality procedural graphics and shader-based rendering.
