Matt Keeter has released Halfspace, an experimental development environment for solid modeling built on distance fields. The tool lets users design 3D geometry through code, exploring signed distance fields as a representation for computer-aided design. It is drawing attention among programmers and CAD enthusiasts interested in code-driven modeling approaches and alternatives to traditional mesh- or boundary-based CAD systems.

A new technical write-up explains how the dual polytope can be used for convex hull simplification in computational geometry. The author walks through the underlying mathematics and shows how duality offers a practical approach to reducing hull complexity. Readers interested in graphics, geometry algorithms, and optimization are discussing the explanation and its applications.
