The SDF of a Box

Inigo Quilez, creator of Shadertoy, derives the signed distance function of a box. It is a short math walkthrough of one of the basic building blocks of shader-based rendering.

HN people recommend Quilez's videos alongside his site as a way into graphics programming and generative art.

I found his blog a little while ago while getting into generative art and it has been a wonderful source of inspiration, quick learning, and deep knowledge. The domain warping tutorial is one of my personal favorites and the examples are gorgeous! He also has some wonderful youtube videos (▶ this video). I cannot recommend his website enough for folks getting into lower-level graphics development!
