## Requirements
- Blender 4.x (Development and testing is being done with this Blender version)
- Windows 10 / 11 (Not tested on MacOS and Linux)
## Dependent packages
- [moderngl](https://github.com/moderngl/moderngl)
## Installation
1. Drag and drop the zip file downloaded from the repository release page into Blender to install.
2. Activate the installed add-on (mesh_from_sdf) in `Edit/Preference/Add-ons`.
## Start up
1. Select `SDF2Mesh` from the toolbar to open the add-on hierarchy panel.
2. Changed `RenderEngine` to `MeshFromSDF`
3. Switch the 3D View render mode to `Render` or `Material`.
4. Pressing the reload button displays the SDF objects registered in the hierarchy (Do this the first time you start Blender or activate this add-on).
## Known Issue
- Undo processing is not implemented for Gizmo operations on SDF primitives.
- While it is possible to always invoke Undo while dragging Gizmo, ideally, Undo should be executed only when the drag ends.
- After changing the type of the SDF primitive once, the previous Gizmo operation is reset when it is changed back again.
