A very interesting concept. I really like the idea of a "triangles as control" for GPU rendered curves. I think having multiple primitives is less pure but very practical. Too bad you don't get the continuous curve for free like you do in a Bezier curve, but it seems like something good tooling could really help with.<p>One thing that came to mind: It's pretty easy to encode or include addition points within the vertices of a triangle. So as long as the constraint that the whole section of the curve is contained within the triangle, it might be worth thinking about adding additional control points related to the triangle-control/Gkurve-primitive
context: I'm building a game engine in Zig called Mach engine; this video goes over my plans for tackling vector graphics in the engine (for text rendering, GUI, 2D characters, etc.)<p>Modern vector graphics are surprisingly complex, so while none of the ideas here are necessarily groundbreaking, the approach I'm taking here of a simpler ground-up 'what does my GPU know how to do? -> build on top of that' is fairly interesting I believe.<p>This was also the first full-length talk I've ever given, so go easy on me :) Happy to answer questions.<p>Slides are here[0] in case you prefer to just flip through them.<p>[0] <a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1IY-05VHPuUfS3e22D-BorDh8HMz14i6cLcddAGAhUZo/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1IY-05VHPuUfS3e22D-Bo...</a>
