Rendering SDFs (And Applying Font Effects) | Font Rendering in Java #5
54Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/4tHeAkxNg7
This is the last episode in the font rendering series (for now), and in this episode I go over how to render the sdf texture using a special shader. I then go over several different effects we get for free because of the SDF (outlines, glow, and bold/thin text). I only go over this using one character, because I think the concepts covered in previous videos would allow you to extrapolate this method and generate an entire font using SDFs.
