PolyVox - general questions

[804]

1. I create my voxels with this code:

Code: Select all

        //Create the volume that contains the actual voxel data and make it 64x64x64
        SimpleVolume<MaterialDensityPair44> volData(PolyVox::Region(Vector3DInt32(0,0,0), Vector3DInt32(63, 63, 63)));
 
        //This vector hold the position of the center of the volume
        Vector3DFloat v3dVolCenter(volData.getWidth() / 2, volData.getHeight() / 2, volData.getDepth() / 2);
 
    //Our new density value
    uint8_t uDensity = MaterialDensityPair44::getMaxDensity();
              
    //Get the old voxel
    MaterialDensityPair44 voxel = volData.getVoxelAt(10, 10, 10);
    //Modify the density
    voxel.setDensity(uDensity);
 
    //Wrte the voxel value into the volume
    volData.setVoxelAt(10, 10, 10, voxel);
 
scene::CDynamicMeshBuffer *newBuffer = new scene::CDynamicMeshBuffer(video::EVT_STANDARD, video::EIT_32BIT);
IrrSurfaceExtractor<SimpleVolume, MaterialDensityPair44 > irrsurfaceExtractor(&volData, volData.getEnclosingRegion(), newBuffer);
irrsurfaceExtractor.execute();
 
//Create the scene node
scene::SMesh * newMesh = new scene::SMesh;
newMesh->addMeshBuffer(newBuffer);
newMesh->recalculateBoundingBox();
scene::ISceneNode * newNode = smgr->addMeshSceneNode(newMesh); 
newMesh->drop();
newBuffer->drop();

but i don't know how to scale these voxels for a minecraft like terrain.
2. and i don't know how to texture the voxels (blocks of my terrain)

[Virror]

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.

And Don't know much aboud hlsl and thinks like this. So , isn't there another Way to do it?
Or a tutorial?

[804]

Please, i Need fast help and here are so Navy minecraftclones, so how didthey so that?

[Virror]

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

[804]

Do you know someone who is very active in this forum, uses polyvox and makes a minecraft game (i am new and don't know anyone)

I think what you need is to google for "unpaid full time programmer team to build a project for me because I'm too lazy to study and investigate things on my own". If you find this offensive, I don't mind..

[Grumpy]

I googled that and all I got back from google was porn links...

and what in tarnation is minecraft clone ???

[804]

A minecraft clone is a clone of the Great game minecraft XD
Any usefull replies?

I thought serengeor's reply was actually rather useful, you are just way too stubborn to listen to people who know what they're talking about and who try to help you the best they can

Again, like I said to you so many times, if you are already stuck at this point and if you can't manage to do even the most basic things a minecraft clone requires, how the hell are you going to manage when things really get dirty?

There's no device->createMineCraftClone(), Irrlicht is only a 3D engine. It just renders some pixels you pass to it. YOU have to make sure (using programming skills) these pixels (visually) make a game.

and were back to the original problem, make something simpler FIRST

[804]

Ok, but my Game won't have an infinit terrain.
I also finished the Perlin noise algorigm.
(and my c++-knowledge isn't As Bad As you think)
And i Know how to make movement, collision, create polyvox surfaces and Things like this, so i think it won't Be As hard As is seems.

So at the moment the biggest problem is the texturing and i really Need the help of you experts to handle this.



PS: i made a PONG-game in the last Week and i looks pretty good

[Radikalizm]

so i think it won't Be As hard As is seems.

Better yet, it's worse than it seems

[Virror]

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 something i read in the PolyVox forum, something like this: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/v ... =1&t=45164
