Nope. They are not for me. They are given away before starting to draw. Never thought it could go so fine xP

my first voxel world in c# , still needs a lot of work to go for endless'ness.

space - remove
shift - add

(note its a .net4 exe )

screenshots would be cool

Edit: After playing, I see that there isn't much for screenshots Thought you should still post some

My fps stayed at 60 the whole time I played. I didn't do anything complex but everything works fine on my end and its incredibly smooth.

Good stuff! Can't wait to see the next result!

I will add them a little later ,I am using large base textures plus detail textures for it in my tests so its stil ugly , i just finished adding texture support today ,I didn't want to redistribute my textures so I just added some of my other test textures. . I still have to atlas map ..

thanks .

@txesmi , I like it , looks great , what are you using to do it ?

@Wjbender
3dsmax, gimp and a lot of pacience

20% tool power and 80% talent , making good texturing etc plus good modelling is not easy.

@Wjbender: nice one

I have to say, however, when I was messing around with voxel rendering using A8, I ran into memory problems really quickly.

But don't let this discourage you.

@ kartoffel thanks , yes this test also is far from being memory efficient and/or low on memory .

if you fire up windows task managet -resource monitor- memory , you will see it eat up a lot of ram .

the reason for this , at this moment even though I destroy entities outside of range , is that the arrays are pre filled for the test , I have to switch to dictionaries and other methods to only create what I need for visible range instead of filling invisible range data ..

to do this I would need to serialize to disk so I do not store un needed data anymore , and that goes more towards endless generation of visible data..

I have a few experimental updating conditions I am testing now , for instance only updating when frame rate is above a few frames below frame cap , this however needs more thought because a user can easily travel beyond update range in that time , so I need to manage it such that this update condition is overidable at the correct time.

then I am also leaning towards pausing and resuming the update thread , but I haven't even gone beyond this in theory only as of yet .

tust was great help to me in studying voxels plus a certain unity tutorial aided me in forming the basis of understanding voxel worlds , so thanks to those people , however I suck in lite-c , I am better at bringing my concepts to actuality in c++ and now c#( which I am new at ).

I also realized a triangled engine would fit much better. Time to change it.

@Wjbender
It has take a long time to get a reliable modelling and backing method. Thanks.
