Generating Font SDFs (Signed Distance Fields) | Font Rendering in Java #4
Join the Discord: / discord
In this episode I go over how to create a signed distance field for glyphs. I also go over how to use the FreeType library for Java using a binding. This method uses the original method described by the developers at valve, in the next episode I will go over how to use the generated SDF to render the actual glyph.
