Ray Traced Voxel Engine in Unity - Voxtopolis Devlog 1

Awesome work!! Well done!!

You deserve a sub, great work! Looking forward to see where this project will go

Thanks so much for sharing, and I wish the best for you and all your projects. I've been stuck planning how to approach my ideas and your explanations helped me gain more momentum.

I love it! Great work. Subbed!

It looks amazing 🤯

It would be nice if you could make the reflections raytraced. Not having screen-space reflections is one major benefit of being able to use real-time raytracing.

🙌🏼

This is looking great so far! Are there any plans to add physics similar to sand/gravel in Minecraft, or even tree physics like Vintage Story? Adding more physics could open up lots of gameplay opportunities, and could even make for a really engaging and interesting combat system!

thank you for sharing! i’m sure the blocky terrain helps with the octree traversal performance. do you think it would still perform well on a more organic scene?

can you add framecounter?

triangles can be voxels, single light value.

Ok I have some ideas/criticism that I want to float by you: 1 ) A more elaborate LOD system; I noticed that when you are far enough away the trees just pop out of existence which makes the world feel incomplete (it’s wip I know). If there were more LOD levels to the point where the tree where just represented by like 4 pixels it would be WAY better then there just being nothing. 2) Water reflections; This is just me but a believe that still water should not have ripples in it and the fact that the mirror like reflection should not be hidden because it’s a voxel game. There is already a level of disbelief that is permissible for it not to be hidden (OPINION) 3 ) Gravity; I think the tree entity’s should have physics in way that if the bottom of it is cut the rest falls a way like the non physical voxels. More like a hybrid voxel that detects collision but also falls away if severed. I’m very interested in you project, I’m not an investor sadly. But I thought I could help by brain storming some ideas.

Betere updates dan Minecraft 😘

Blocks =3

Too bad the assets load so slowly. This engine would not be well suited for a flying game. The pop-in would break immersion so badly.

Ok I give up
