1// nx_sdfrender.nx -- sovereign software GPU, SMOOTH-UNION path (operator 2026-07-04: make the body CONTINUOUS,
2// not jointed ellipsoids). Instead of rasterizing separate ellipsoid surfaces, define the body as an IMPLICIT
3// FIELD -- a smooth-minimum (smin) union of ellipsoid SDFs -- and RAY-MARCH it per pixel: the parts BLEND into
4// one continuous surface (arm melts into shoulder, thigh into hip). Per-pixel normal from the SDF gradient ->
5// Phong. ALL INTEGER fx1024 (deterministic, VM-vettable). This is the same technique modern GPUs use for
6// metaball/organic surfaces -- built entirely on our own stack. license_tier: ORIGINAL
