Features
---------
- Fully editable terrain (see demo: https://github.com/Zylann/voxelgame)
- Compact voxel storage using 8-bit channels like images
- Data segmentation using blocks of 16x16x16 voxels (so the world can be theoretically infinite)
- Calculates meshes based on grid of voxels. Only visible faces are generated.
- Vertex-based ambient occlusion (comes for free at the cost of slower mesh generation)
- Voxels can be of any shape, not just cubes (not fully accessible yet but present in code)
- Vertex-based ambient occlusion on voxel edges (comes for free at the cost of slower mesh generation)
- Mesh-based physics based on Godot (high generation cost but works at decent speed)
- Simple interface for deferred terrain generators (block by block)
- Optional profiling information
Ideas TODO
-----------
- VoxelMap node for infinite voxel terrain
- Automatic terrain generation (currently not automatic)
- Voxels can be of any shape, not just cubes (not fully accessible yet but present in code)
- VoxelStreamer node to put on players so terrains know which voxels to load around them
- Physics!
- Make voxels editable
- Support internal threading
- Support saving and loading
- Support saving and loading through helper classes
- Promote classes to Node and Resource for better editor experience
- Interface for terrain generation modules (I don't plan to integrate a noise library in this module, unless it's integrated in Godot core)
- Support structure generation (anything that is bigger than one voxel)
- Convert any imported meshes to Voxel-compatible meshes (to comply with a few optimizations)
- Helpers for structure generation (anything that is bigger than one voxel)
- Convert any imported meshes to Voxel-ready meshes (to comply with a few optimizations)
- Generate Mesh resources from voxels so they can be used in the editor as MeshInstances
- Import resources from other editors like Magicka-voxel
- Volumetric grid algorithms: fluids, pathfinding, lighting...
- Smooth meshes with the Transvoxel algorithm
- Seam-free level of detail (LOD)
- Ability to bake terrains if we don't want them to be editable in game
