Figure 9. The Chill node-based GUI.

Chill is an open source GUI for IceSL, illustrated in Figure 9. It features a node-based interface that hides the scripting language used to model shapes in IceSL. This enables a larger group of people to use IceSL in their projects, without having to type any code. The user of Chill creates 3D shapes by connecting various nodes arranged in a directed graph. The shape visualization is updated instantly as the graph is modified.

The source code is publicly available at https://github.com/shapeforge/Chill. We are planning to communicate broadly about the software in the first months of 2019.
