Not polygons, not voxels, not even SDFs, parametric surfaces

A novel implementation of a different approach to realtime 3D

The goals and motivations behind the project revolve aroudn the pursuit of systemic, scalable and intuitive approach to 3D. Everything in qemical flood is defined with spatial control points. The parametric surfaces stretch smoothly between them. Both shapes and colors are defined by a managable number of such control points, avoiding the need for massive numbers of primitives and counter-intuitive texture mapping, while striving for a very high degree of artistic control over the final image.

I want to make beautiful immersive worlds and it can be hard to do even with a large team, let alone with a smaller team or solo. But it is possible to do it efficiently if a systemic approach is taken. The ultimate purpose of qemical flood is to empower such systemic approach.

It's a personal dream more than 10 years in the making.

qemical flood is an experiment

馃И馃寠

qemical flood is a deliberate foray into an underexplored territory. It is an experiment. It might never reach its goals. But it could reach destinations other approaches could not. I think that would be important to anyone who is passionate about art or technology. It was important enough to me to put a tremendous amount of effort into it, which so far has been decisvely successful.
I hope to bring my worlds to life with this technology.
