I recently learned about voxel (volumetric) terrain mapping. That is very new technique to me. I have a few questions. Is that possible to generate voxel terrain on earth-sized planet? That can render caves, mines, arches, etc... That could be Avatar-like planet with floating air islands above. That information is in GPU Gems 3 book. That is available on NVIDIA website. Look at that link.
RIP GameDev.net: launched 2 unusably-broken forum engines in as many years, and now has ceased operating as a forum at all, happy to remain naught but an advertising platform with an attached social media presense, headed by a staff who by their own admission have no idea what their userbase wants or expects.Here's to the good times; shame they exist in the past.
