Description

Shadertoy artist Blackle Mori modified a neural network to convert meshes to signed distances stored as matrices. How to use this neural network is explained in the video below.

1 Code

The relatively compact code below multiplies matrices and sine waves in order to shape the famous Stanford Bunny, effectively making it resolution-independent.
