Painting with math: A gentle study of raymarching
A compilation of my Raymarching and Signed Distance Field learnings and work. In it, I teach you how to leverage those techniques along with lighting models, smoothmin, soft shadows, and some math to create beautiful 3D raymarched scenes ranging from abstract shapes to infinite realistic-looking landscapes.

An Algorithm for Polygon Intersections
In this post we'll work our way towards an algorithm that can compute convex polygon intersections. We'll also explore a method for intersections between axis-aligned rectangles, a function that can determine the intersection of two line segments, as well as a point in polygon test.
