Can you do a video on how to add lights, shadows, and specular reflections to the scene when you do?

Thanks a lot for this video. IT's great and easy to comprehend. I just spotted one mistake, so I'll share with people if they get stuck: 26:55 - When doing the time-dependent offset of the cubes the line q=fract(p) - 0.5; should be changed to q=fract(q) - 0.5;

Thank you! I was going really confused for a while, thougth of changing a bunch of stuff except that, makes sense.

10/10, kishimisu you are a brilliant shader artist and an equally brilliant communicator of information. Please keep sharing that gift with us ❤🙏

OMG THE RETURN !!

A just became a supporter at patreon because of this video. I think you nailed the perfect balance giving just enough information to understand what’s going on without getting bogged with details while providing external resources to drill down. The visual explanations are great too. Looking forward to dig in with your next tutorials!

Amazing tutorial once again! Your first video inspired me and many others to start experimenting with shader code. This video made basic 3d graphics easily understandable, previosuly to me a daunting task. I also love how you briefly explain several sub-concepts in their simplest forms, prompting a lot of creative exploration. Really appreciate your style, pacing and looking forward to your future videos.

This is a fantastic introduction into Ray Marching. Wonderful video. I've started this journey myself a few months ago, and your visualizations will really help others conceptualize these seemingly complicated operations!

Thank you kishimisu! you're a true inspiration for me! Shaders are a very complex topic but with your help, this kind of programming is begin become easier :)

Man, talk about underrated! Here from your previous video, can’t wait for your next. Keep up the good work!

Great video! I toyed with fragment shaders before, but this video made want to go back and properly learn some GLSL and create a couple shader programs! As a point of criticism, I think the code you provide would be easier to follow along and more readable if you were to use proper variable names for values you hardcoded -- using something like `scalingFactor` instead of 4., for example.

Yes. This is a general coding practice called magic numbers. Eventually, constants that never change or one off values, may need to be understood by anyone revisiting the code in the future... that also means yourself :p This was a good tip from professors when I went to college for programming. Also keep up the vids, I'm subscribed for the incredibly easy to follow, guided visual examples that help explain what's fundamentally going on, step-by-step. Keep it up ^^

This video was so dense with information yet so well-explained. I'm going to rewatch this a few times just so I can absorb everything.

Awesome video! I was occasionally checking your channel to see if you had a new video since you said you're working on a new video on Instagram. You did a really great job! Especially because it was a topic I wanted to checkout anyway. I'm looking forward to more raymarching and seeing your channel evolve, I think you'll succeed easily! Good luck! 🎉

Fantastic video! Looking forward to more in this series. I'm a big fan of the 64K demoscene and the creative and technical uses of raymarching, but never could give myself a starting off point to try my hand at my own. You just unlocked a whole universe of exploration for me.

GOAT Tier learning material. Thank you a lot! I'm seriously thinking about subscribing to your Patreon after 2 tutorials.

The biggest flaw with ray marching, in my opinion, is that it can be difficult or tedious to design certain arbitrary structures purely with math. It's not a very artist-friendly technique.

Dude I was really waiting for you to drop another video. I am getting into the world of 3D graphics and shaders and your insight is very appreciated!

Fantastic!! I especially like the diagram at 25:18, it's a very interesting way to visualise it

I am still working on my shader generation evaluation for language models, but your videos have been a great aid to help people explain what shadercode is and how you might interpret code as art.

Another great video! I've been meaning to explore raymarching for ages, so this might be the push I need to get started!

I really like how much info even the description has!

Thank you so much for all of the effort put into this. I don't have time to dive into shaders right now but it's something I've been wanting to do for a while.

Great video! You started small and worked up to some really cool demonstrations. Thank you for doing this all in shadertoy too, so I could quickly try it out for myself.

You really have the best tutorials on the topic. Very well done explaining complex topics in easy to understand terms.

This is an absolute gem. Please keep making more of such videos

Had to pause in the middle of the video and say, that Milky Way comparison was amazing, funny and instructional. This is an awesome video, well done!

I wish this video existed when I started learning Ray Marching (earlier this year) because it would've saved me weeks of self-studying. Really amazing work!

Absolutely incredible! I hope to see more videos on shaders from you! 🎉

I just decided to get into shaders, as a self-taught "creative coder". Your videos are absolutely stunning, highlighting an incredible production value. Be sure that I am going to follow your every move ;) I think you just convinced me to become a Patreon.

Oh my gosh, you're back! These videos are phenomenal.

10/10 Nothing to add. Very clear yet concise explanation and visualizations.

Wow amazing! Thank you for sharing all those great lessons 😎🔥

double thumbs up for the Quaternion videos you linked, they're invaluable in understanding what at first can be a very opaque and confusing construct

This is absolutely amazing. Please keep doing it!

Excellent run down of a lot of concepts and aspects of ray-marching. I have been experimenting with raymarching and SDF shapes in the godot engine. I am not sure how performant that will be, because I am still working at making the code for it. However, I will definitely be looking forward to your future videos. Cheers!

The legends said that some day, kishimisu will return!

Thank you so much for another wonderful video!!

Very, very interesting and very well explained! Thanks for this introduction to the huge world of shaders!

Absolutely amazing content. I can vouch for The Art of Code too, his videos are long but very easy to follow.

Thank you! You inspired me to get back into coding and creating generative art, looking forward to future tutorials🤝

That is beyond great content. Truly mesmerizing.

I enjoy the AI voiceover, it's calm and to-the point! Very nice!

Just this afternoon I was messing around with applying rotation matrices to conic sections in the Desmos graphing calculator. Cool to see that technique used in shaders!

Amazing, awaiting the next videos eagerly!

Thank you. Can't wait for the next video

im so glad you're making more content

nicely done dude. can't wait for the volumetric tutorial

Finally! I'm so excited!

This is so cool. I love the exploration into noncartesian space. You can really do so much with just a few lines of code.

Absolute unit of a channel

Great video with great presenting format. Really appreciate. I am not coder at all, but really interested in this type of experimenting now. 😁😁

Incredible! Thank you :)

Really enjoying your videos! And have recommended them in my developers circle (:

Loved the tutorial!

This is such a good video. Well done.

Great to have you back! Personally I would like to see WebGPU perhaps using wgpu (and engine that supports both desktop and web). Compute shaders & fragment shaders are my top topics (or more precisely areas).

@kishimisu

I might create a video about webgpu in the future to introduce compute shaders. However it may be difficult to fit on the screen nicely as wgsl is more verbose than glsl!

Absolutely legendary video. Subbed.

Oh man, you are finaly here thax for video!

It helped me a lot!! thank you so much.

This is completely bananas thank you!

Simple yet amazing.

Fantastic Video !, The content of this material is so valuable that the participation of AI as an speaker completely does not bother me. Thank you for your work !

The only raymarching tutorial I ever understood.

nice explination, one of the better I have seen

Thank you kishimisu!

Wooooow!... Just the thing i've been looking for. 😲

YESSSS ANOTHER VIDEO THANK YOU!!!!

My guy is literally teaching magic and asks nothing for it. The production and information value of this video is insane. I'm making a patreon account just to support you.

'Now' I subscribe. Love this!

Ray marching is such a beautiful technique. Infinite objects with mathematical operations with low computational power.

ai voice or not the effort that went into this video is obvious and it’s top notch. honestly reminds me of robert penner’s work back in the flash days.

Aah shade, here we go again Now I have an awesome toy to procrastinate with. This tutorial is amazing🔥

Never thought I'd learn how to become a lightbender, but this video made it so easy! Universes beware.

Your videos are amazing bro

I found it incredibly easy to understand, you expertly explained not only the goal but also what individual components did without making it confusing. Although it's not shader, but could you tackle cube marching? (Procedural generation) Havent found someone that could explain it well yet.

This is so cool thank you

Grandmaster ! The best out here !

Babe wake up, Kishimisu dropped a new video!

Thank you, I hope you might consider produce "An introduction to RayTracing" in future.

Funnily enough I was looking for a video to explain raymarching to me, been thinking of implementing in a project lately.

That is awesome! :D

Lol this video would have helped me a lot about 2 years ago when I did my computer graphics module. I was struggling to find a good video that broke down Raymarching. Still better late than never, I can use this to revise that shit properly now!

Free you mind, Neo. What you must learn is that these rules are no different than the rules of a computer system. Some rays can be bent. Others, can be curled up like some non-physical strand of hair. Well, I'm pretty sure if Neo had made full use of his ability to bend the rules of a computer system, The Matrix would've been a much different movie. And much more popular with the psychedelics crowd.

Amazing Video

This is amazing

🔥 Next amazing video please!

goh damn my new shaders course

Thanks to you I may finally be able to find a hobby I can commit to

THANK you!

Very Clear

Pure gold.

Brilliant!

Nice work

You shouted out Leon Denise! He's the one who introduced me to raymarching. Really cool dude! He organises amazing demoparties and live-coding events with Cookie Collective, check them out if you're into all this stuff!

Great content

This is magic.

wow you're back

Since SDFs are combined using both left- and right-compositions (i.e. some transformations are preprocessing, some are post), I think a higher-order language (i.e. where you can pass functions around as arguments) is the right abstraction for raymarching-based scenes, instead of what you have in this C-ish language. And of course for a given static scene description, it should be trivial to flatten that into a first-order program, so it could even generate ("transpile") into this C-like language.

This is written in WebGL(or GLSL, or HLSL - all virtually identical), it's literally the language the DirectX API is written in. If you're writing shaders this is THE language it's in. That or you're just writing the assembly manually.

@GergoErdi

@@NoTengoIdeaGuey yes, thanks GLSL, that's that name I just couldn't remember. So yeah, what you want is a higher-order language that transpiles to GLSL. Maybe something like LambdaCube 3D?

Is it possible to correct the space distortions mentioned in the end to avoid the artifacts?

We did it, fellas - we reinvented the CRT in the virtual world

Incredible video. Could someone please explain why at 7:27 the ray direction is given as normalize(vec3(uv, 1)) and not normalize(vec3(uv, 3)) for a camera 3 units from the screen? Shouldn't the direction be normalize(vec3(uv, distanceFromScreen)) for this setup?
