MeshDistanceField

Bake the distance from a mesh into a 3D VolumeField over a domain. Category: Field › Utils
Shown in the node menu as: Mesh Distance Field

Inputs

Input	Type
mesh (distance from)	`Mesh`
domain (mesh or box; grid extent, defaults to source)	`Mesh, Box`
resolution (longest axis)	`Number`
padding	`Number`
signed	`Bool`

Output	Type
distance field	`Field`

Properties are set in the Inspector and are used when the matching input is not connected.

Other nodes in Field › Utils:

FieldComponent: Extract one component of a multi-component field as a scalar field, by index or label (e.g. 0, Z, XY).
FieldMagnitude: Collapse a multi-component field (vector / tensor) to a scalar field of its per-node magnitude.
FieldSelect: Select a named field out of a list of fields (e.g. solver output).
InvertField: Invert a field within its value range (min + max - value), reversing high and low.
SmoothField: Smooth a field over its grid (box average; radius in voxels, more iterations ≈ Gaussian).
