Voxel Engine Part 3 (Final)

As promised, here is the Voxel Engine Unity Project:
Unity Package (1.36mb)
Alternative download link

The webplayer demo is available in my previous post.

There is a "Read-me" file inside the package pointing out some directions for those who are trying to understand the project.

I would like to thanks Paul of the BlockStory project that wrote some very useful articles that helped me a lot to get started in the Voxel World. Some classes are heavily based on his samples.

Thanks as well to the Unity community that have this great topic about voxels and to Jeff Standen that wrote the Simplex3D Noise that I'm using.

This demo works on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows and Webplayer. It was tested on my Android Galaxy S2 and Apple iPad4.

The main bottleneck is the CPU while the player is creating and destroying blocks. In the code I left some hints of things that I would have done differently now, or links to articles that offers a better solution for what I did. Remember, this is just a prototype that emerged from a study. There is a lot of stuff to change if you are planning to use this in a real project.

The textures and sounds came from Minecraft ( https://minecraft.net/ ), and the pickaxe is a model that I did trying to reproduce the Minecraft pickaxe. So those assets are not my property and should not be used in any commercial way.

Fell free to use all the other assets and scripts in the way you like.
If you did something cool using this project, please let me know. :)

Voxel Engine Part 2

This video show the voxel world generation. It doesn't take this long. The video is that slow to we be able to see what is happening.

The first pass generate the heightmap and the second is responsible to create the mesh and perform the lightning calculation.

And here follows the webplayer to you guys give a try to the engine. In the case that the previous link didn't work, you can download the demo here.

There is a lot of things to enhance, and many parts to optimize but I'm done with this project. In the next days I will post the project with all sources and assets so it may help someone that is thinking to study voxels.
