webgpu-marchingcubes

Dynamic marching cubes mesh generation via signed distant function in WebGPU.

Quickstart

To run locally you'll need to generate a PEM encoded SSL certificate and private key, then run an https server with those certificates:

MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes \
  -keyout localhost-key.pem \
  -out localhost.pem \
  -days 365 \
  -subj "/CN=localhost" \
  -addext "subjectAltName=DNS:localhost,IP:127.0.0.1"


http-server -S -C localhost.pem -K localhost-key.pem -p 8443

Input Controls

• Mouse right click to rotate.
• Mouse wheel to dolly.
