# FAQ

If you see artifacting / distortions in your shape you will most likely need to increase the geometry quality.

This is no built in scale function because it quickly distorts the objects. This can however be achieved using setSpace.

# Known Issues / WIP

length, distance, dot, and normalize work only with with vec3s

pow, mod, min, max, atan, clamp, mix, and smoothstep work only with floats.

branching / using if statements that reference built-in variables will not work. Specifically variables like vec2, vec3, vec4, or using input variables like time. Eg:

if(time > 100) {
    //do something
}
