Six square polygons enclosing a space is surely just as 'voxel' as meshes generated by marching cubes for medical imaging. Maybe the issue is the texture you're talking about, but I haven't seen any textures in any of the galleries, other than the few examples that render mesh edges in addition to the cubes. The data in the file is specified as volumetric samples.
The size of them has absolutely nothing to do with it, and never has. Voxels are "volumetric cells" just like pixels are "picture cells". I'm a bit confused about what distinction you're trying to make, or how this project represents a change in the meaning of the word 'voxel'.
Once GPUs came out with hardware-accelerated triangle rasterization, voxel engines died.įor more information about point-sampling, see this classic paper, "A Pixel Is Not A Little Square":Īnd for a more in-depth discussion of sampling, albeit in one dimension, watch Chris Montgomery's video "Digital Show and Tell": They used voxels because with the hardware they had, this was the most realistic rendering they could achieve. Note that they were not using voxels because they had a certain artistic style to them. Here are some videos of what we used to call voxels: Texturing is achieved by having many voxels with different colors/materials. What I call a voxel is much smaller (on the order of a screen pixel), and drawn as a point sprite or screen-facing quad with a single color. Pixels are point samples without shape or texture. You can learn more about the release in the video below.Right, my objection to the textured cubes is that they are not the volume equivalent of a pixel. use ESC to switch between pattern/move brush and select brush in the world editor.use ctrl+alt to switch to pattern tool.use 1/2 to select previous/next color in the palette.use left/right mouse button to rotate the preview model use mouse wheel to zoom in/out.can create pattern pack from multiple selected objects.can load all the models in a project as a pattern pack.the nine values can also be modified by cmds cam x/y/z tx/ty/tz rx/ry/rz.press SHIFT to change values in smaller steps.can change camera global/local position, pitch/yaw/roll angles, save/load camera slots, etc.click the arrow on the bottom bar to show the camera control panel.command log: display count of models, scene size, count of voxels for each color, etc.Sort: only sorts selected colors if number of selection is greater than one.Modify->Mask/Texture: mask and texture models with pattern models.Boolean operations for groups and objects.add interation number to the interface.can get color selections via: color_sel().
can display compile errors in the console window.can import and export arguments values.Snap rotate : press SHIFT or SHIFT+ALT to snap angle to multiple of 5 or 15.Sphere rotate : press any point inside the outer circle.Screen rotate : press the outer circle.World Editor->Pattern and Wrap Brush: can create patterns from selected object (check the pattern model menu on the right panel).Geometry Mode->Line/Square/Circle: the old center mode is combined with the old line mode.Transform->Wrap Brush : live wrap/crop models with mirroring and spacing modes.Transform->Scale Brush : live scale models, point sampled, low quality but fast.Voxel Shader Brush to use Voxel Shaders interactively and directly.Refactored the brush menu and add icons.Improved Alpha Blending: glass material, absorb media type, density = 0, ior = 0, transparency > 0.can be contained in the glass with ior > 1. Aborb/Scatter/Emissive Media Material: emissive cloud.transparency tp control light transmission. Blend Material: weighted blending Metal/Plastic/Glass/Cloud materials (similar to Disney Principled BRDF).
