Re: PolyVox - general questions

I don't think you have a option besides using a shader for this type of texturing, so you have to read some tutorials on that. There are plenty of them out there explaining the basics of texturing and other stuff. This is one of the mayor things im struggling with as well right now, im trying for so...

Re: PolyVox - general questions

Maybe you should mail them and ask?
Not sure how to do the texturing since im not working on a minecraft clone.

Re: How to pick blocks in minecraft?

Nice!
Btw, using irrSurfaceExtractor is not a good idea when doing a minecraft type of game since it will make a more smooth terrain.
Use the "CubicSurfaceExtractorWithNormals" intead.

Re: PolyVox - general questions

You want to change the size of the blocks?
In that case just change the scale of the SceneNode.
For texturing, you probably need to implement a shader that can access the different materials of the voxels and apply a texture depending on the type of material.

Re: How to pick blocks in minecraft?

Well, it also helps a lot if you tell us what environment you are using.
You will also need to include the paths to all the header files in your project, or the compiler wont find them.

Re: How to pick blocks in minecraft?

No, you dont need boost for PolyVox. On a first and quick glance the code looks good to me. PolyVox should be easy to "install", just include all the c files under PolyVox/PolyVoxCore/source and PolyVox/PolyVoxCore/source/PolyVoxImpl, just dont include SurfaceEdge.cpp since it seems to be ...

Re: How to pick blocks in minecraft?

As everyone said over and over again, read the docs, try to make the simple tutorial they have. Search the PolyVox forum for Irrlicht integration, there are good examples there.

Re: How to pick blocks in minecraft?

As i said, no one have stated PolyVox is faster than using mesh combiner. But the good thing about PolyVox is thats its very easy to make minecraft like terrain with it since it has built in support to make "blocky worlds". Very simple to just take a heightmap and make a blocky terrain fro...

Re: How to pick blocks in minecraft?

Who said anything about faster? After all, its up to you to do the implementation. Its not easy to make a good minecraft clone as many here already stated.

Re: How to pick blocks in minecraft?

PolyVox is practically made for this kind of use. Just check the tutorial they have on the website.
Then search the forum for Irrlicht integration, very easy.
For block picking, just calculate voxel position from the ray hit coordinates and remove that voxel when you want to remove a block.

Re: True modifiable terrain

Ofcourse, but load from file should still be faster. But generating from same seed is a very good way of making it space efficient. Still have not decided exactly how i will do with my terrain.
