> Meshes and bezier patches are boundary representations with no information of the volume they enclose Pedantic on my part, but SDF is still just a surface/boundary representation at the end of the day. It may have additional benefits that you point out such as quickly computing if you're inside/outside or being able to more easily deform the shape (through any number of procedures including slicing), but you'd probably use a density grid instead of a SDF if you're dealing with anything volumetric, such as clouds or smoke. > You don't. I didn't notice render times, but "interactive frame…
