RVox Engine

A Voxel Engine made from scratch using OpenGL

Procedural Infinite Generation

• 

Optimizations

• World is split up into 32x256x32 chunks

  • 

• Each chunk has its own mesh where voxel faces not surrounded by air are culled

• Chunks are culled when out of frustum

• Meshing and chunk generation is multithreaded using std::async

Lighting

• Basic rudimentary lighting which is calculated using the normals of each voxel
• Fog
• Shadow Mapping using depth buffer pass
• Voxel Ambient Occlusion

Physics

• AABB vs AABB collisions
• One block height auto jump

Other

• First person camera
• 3rd person camera
• Orthographic camera
