Hey Everyone!

My submission: An SDF Modeling toolset for Houdini

This toolset allows you to model inside Houdini using the magic of SDFs.

• Unbreakable Booleans
  
• Powerful Transitions (Bevels, Chamfers and more)
  
• 100% Non Destructive Modeling
  

The tools are run on Houdini volumes, have a powerful and flexible workflow, come with fast "math based primitives" but also allow for modeling with polygon or volume inputs.
There are also powerful post processing tools included, focused on hard surface modeling, that allow you to create sharp edges and UV seams.

Watch an intro into the toolset, that explains most of the available nodes and the modeling workflow:


Watch a tutorial on optimizing your mesh after modeling:


You can also download the toolset on github: https://github.com/handcraftedcc/SDFModeler [github.com]

Very exciting! Been thinking about tackling this task but the websocket stuff is scary
Nice work!
