Minecraft doesn't use voxels
- longor1996 2y agoIt absolutely does, as the definition of a voxel is, roughly, "a 3ormoreD regular grid of point-samples".
- gsck 2y agoIf it doesnt use voxels what does it use then?
- totaa 2y agoI think the game Teardown is the golden child of voxel rendering in production video games. beautifully lit, fully destructible, and performant
- efilife 2y agoPolygons. It renders the blocks using traditional polygons
- entropicdrifter 2y agoVoxels are not a rendering technique. They are an internal representation of the game world as a set of points on a (usually) 3D grid, as opposed to a fully pre-rendered map. Voxels allow for destructibility and full reshaping of terrain, for instance.
- efilife 2y agoYup, makes perfect sense after thinking about it more.
