Voxtopolis - Ray Traced voxels in Unity 

I plan to experiment a lot more with world generation! My focus has been mostly on performance until now

that's collision meshes only, but check out the newer videos! a lot has changed in this game's visuals

It runs at 4K at around 100 - 120 FPS when everything is loaded. But that is with a 3080. Unity can be extremely powerful if used right :D

@@BodhiDon sweet

Because Minecraft is not a voxel game. Every cube in the game is a 3D model with a texture applied to it.

It only uses meshes for nearby chunks to create collision. All of the rendering is done by tracing SVO volumes, which don't use triangles at all. The reason it doesn't generate organic terrain atm is because of how long it takes to generate, 1 chunk is 262K voxels and 1 haven't found an efficient way to do noise on that

@@BodhiDon oh, that's interesting. also I can already hear my memory screaming for help for that much voxel per chunk hahaha keep up the good work 👍

@@miigon9117 actually no! The SVO data structure can discard many large empty areas. The above video should only be around 1GB in memory

@@BodhiDon Oh, that sounds nice. Always so nice to learn more about other fields that one might not have branched into but still find so fascinating

@@BodhiDon are you using raymarching for that?

i hope to :)

Yes, almost all intensive operations go through Unity's Job System. This is World Generation / Loading, Sorting, Modifications, LODing. It also uses Burst for parellel scheduling the ray tracing, which is then executed by compute shaders. Finally this is injected in Unity's GBuffer so it can render alongside regular meshes and make use of lighting / post processing

Good one. How will they financially handle paying a whopping 0-4% of their revenue 🤯
