i mean if you want to do a composite object like a robot arm (totally random example)
it's made of dozens of parts that you then want to control programmatically, for example add IK to the hydraulic
well with the current baking tool you have to do each part one by one
a bit much
if instead this could take all mesh within a model it would be better,
even better would be batch multiple models.

Hi, I have used this package for making sdf to interact with the hair system (https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/com.unity.demoteam.hair), and when I Built it to Android, it crashed. I have debugged and found out it was because of the mesh to sdf package.

Hi,

i observed that in some cases, a higher poly mesh gives much better performance than a lower poly one. I compared 3000 vs 6000 poly mesh with roughly same layout, the 6000 poly mesh generates the SDF more than twice as fast.
How can this be?

I used a mesh with 2568 tris and got pink are on sdf texture as the image shows.

This error cause error when I use vfx sample position and collide with sdf:

Hi, I get an error, when I try to install the package - within the package manager, as well as when putting the url in dependencies and also when opening the demo-project with appropriate editor.
In the last case is says "com.unity.demoteam.mesh-to-sdf: Error when executing git command. fatal: not in a git directory'

does it mean it is not there anymore ? Or do I do something wrong ?

thanks,

Hi,

great library! Works great with out of the box component.

However, i am trying to integrate this into a custom pipeline, and for this need to control when SDF should be updated. I saw in code that this is already foreseen, but not fully implemented (not exposed in editor, needs internal access for command buffer name, and no garbage collection / vertex buffer disposal integrated). Would be great to have the option to explicitly call update.

Is this asset work with URP RP?

Seems that meshes with e.g. holes in the mesh seem to create artifacts in created SDF. Strangely, this only seems to happen sometimes. With exact same setup, I get different behavior. Sometimes these artifacts are created, and if they get created, they seem to stay. Sometimes they are not created at all, and in that case also don't start appearing in same run.
Here are some images of the good case, and two images of the artifacts created in bad case (artifacts vary during the run of application). I also saw artifacts being created if the bounding box of SDF does not cover the full mesh, probably same cause, as this then naturally creates "holes" in the processed part of the mesh.

Hi, everything works fine when the script added in the editor,
but if I add it in runtime, I get an error in line 149 in function Init()

m_InitializeKernel = m_Compute.FindKernel(Labels.Initialize);

in this case, m_Compute is null, and I have no idea how to initialize it.
Tried to call OnEnable() using reflection after adding it to GameObject, but no luck.
I would appreciate a hint.

Hi, I don't quite understand why the number of iterations in JFA is \log_{2}{maxDim} - 1 (MeshtoSDF.cs line 332). In Guodong Rong's paper of JFA, the jump rood is at least \log_{2}{maxDim}.

This package works great out of the box once I got my head around how to use it, however as soon as I enabled DX12/DXR in the scene to use ray tracing for environments it crashed and kept crashing on launch until force starting it with DX11 and turning off all raytracing settings in project.

The Debug results show it was an access violation, Error Code: 0xc0000005
Module name: Unity

For the time being its fine as my project is still in early stages and doesn't need raytracing immediately but it would be awesome to get it working with Raytracing.

Hey I am a new learner. Appreciate your excellent work for the package.

I am wondering how we can get the SDF value by sampling the sdf texture?
To be more specific, now we have SDFTexture.sdf(RenderTexture) and SDFTexture. worldToSDFTexCoords(Matrix4*4),
Below is what I thought:

          // Transform the vertex using the provided matrix
           var transformedVertex = m_worldToSDFTexCoords * new Vector4(vertex.x, vertex.y, vertex.z, 1.0f);
           var textureCoords = new Vector3(transformedVertex.x, transformedVertex.y, transformedVertex.z);
           // Ensure the texture coordinates are within the texture bounds
           textureCoords.x = Mathf.Clamp01(textureCoords.x);
           textureCoords.y = Mathf.Clamp01(textureCoords.y);
           textureCoords.z = Mathf.Clamp01(textureCoords.z);

           // How to read the SDF value from the texture at the specified texture coordinates? Like below?
           var sdfValue = m_sdf.GetPixel(textureCoords.x, textureCoords.y, textureCoords.z);

Hi, thank you for your great package. It also works well with complex mesh objects.

Since I had to use the sdf values directly, I took out the values of render texture using the code at HERE.

However, I found that the sdf values are clamped into [0, 1], called truncated sdf (tsdf), that is, the sdf values written in render texture inside the object were not negative but 0, and if the sdf is bigger than 1, the values written in render texture are 1.
(I think there may be a problem with the code in the link above..)

I need the real sdf, so I want to know the parts where to clamp the sdf values and how to modify it.
