Voxel Tools for Godot
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
C++ module for creating volumetric worlds in Godot Engine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Setup
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Install the contents of the repo in a folder under "modules/", named "voxel".
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: if you clone the repo, Git will create the folder as the repo name, "godot_voxel". But because Godot SCons scripts consider the folder name as the module's name, it will generate wrong function calls, so you must rename the folder "voxel".

What this module provides
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Fully editable terrain as long as you call the right functions (see demo: https://github.com/Zylann/voxelgame)
|
|
- Voxel storage using 8-bit channels like images for any general purpose
|
|
- Data segmentation using blocks of 16x16x16 voxels (so the world can be theoretically infinite)
|
|
- Main development oriented for minecraft-style terrain by using voxels as types
|
|
- Experimental support for smooth terrain using Transvoxel http://transvoxel.org/, by using voxels as isolevels
|
|
- Vertex-based ambient occlusion on voxel edges
|
|
- Simple interface for deferred terrain generators (block by block using threads)
|
|
- Uses threads to stream terrain as the camera moves
|
|
- Optional performance statistics
|
|
|
|
|
|
What this module doesn't provides
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Level of detail (not a priority for my project)
|
|
- Game specific features such as cave generation or procedural trees (though it might include tools to help doing them)
|
|
- Editor tools (only a few things are exposed)
|
|
- Import and export of voxel formats
|
|
- For reasons why I don't work on X or Y, see https://github.com/Zylann/godot_voxel/issues/17
