I’ve done that but I feel like I’m still lacking some theoretical foundation. It might just be practice. Im aware of that project, it’s dope but I guess my question is how do I go from boxes to the insane shit lol.

E.g I’m not super comfortable creating my own sdfs that aren’t just a combination of the geometries from hg.

The basic ingredients are shapes and domain transforms of various kinds. The rest is artistry.
