Okay thanks, that's what I thought as well. For my purpose, I don't need it to be realtime (just need a resulting mesh to feed to my path tracer).
But I think realtime surface generation is doable with a sparse OctTree SDF. Even with my current Burst implementation of sparse OctTree + Naive Surface Net, the framerate is acceptable for a fairly dense mesh. And I think the SDF generation and possibly half of the NSN algorithm can go wide on the GPU as well. I'll definitely play around with it and see how it goes!
