Do you find that to be pretty efficient compared to other methods of terrain deformation (ROAM,etc)? Pretty curious, since I did my big undergrad research paper on deformable terrain in videogames before the huge voxel craze.
- gavanwoolery 11y agoDepends on what you classify as efficient: mem usage, gpu workload, etc. Voxels are easy to work with but often represent more data than your really need.
- lfowles 11y agoI was mainly asking in general terms of "gamedev" efficient: Whatever deforms and renders at a playable rate and looks just as good as the alternatives.
- gavanwoolery 11y agoVoxels would probably be the simplest thing to program with (they were easier to use in my first iteration than my current (3rd) iteration of the engine)
