DC4UE is a Dual Contouring plugin for Unreal Engine 5 based on the Dual Contouring implementation by Nicholas Gildea.
In simple terms, Dual Contouring is a method that generates a mesh representing the tangent plane as the derivative of a Signed Distance Function (SDF). A SDF is a distance function that represents the distance between any two arbitrary points, and returns a value between -ve infinity and +ve infinity. Dual Contouring makes use of this function by generating a face where the value of the SDF at a certain position of space is equal to 0.
