New Voxel Engine Reveal - Crystal Islands Experiment
Follow me on Twitter for more updates: ProgrammerLin
This scene is composed entirely of voxels. What started as an innocent attempt at increasing the view distance evolved into a 4 month quest to achieve not only that, but rewrite a brand new voxel engine from the ground up that would feature:
- An 8x (512 cubic) detail increase with animation support, high compression rates, and per-voxel material attributes
- Fast collision detection that physics and player walking will utilize
- Full fracture and mutation of objects
- Improved path traced global illumination that features 5 bounces from the sun, atmosphere and all emissive objects
- A powerful asset pipeline that can utilize Quix...

Water Wheels, Motor Concept, and Dynamic Object Building
Просмотров 85 тыс.4 года назад
Somebody printed RUclips comments on these water wheels... Follow me on Twitter for updates: ProgrammerLin This video is showcasing creating dynamic rigid body objects that update in real time, react to water, can be destroyed, and can have constraints attached to them. A nice UI will help make this easier to work with. I considered having a separate in-game window where you don't h...
Water Physics + Custom Voxel Boats, Rigid Bodies & Destruction
Просмотров 45 тыс.4 года назад
Follow me on Twitter for updates: ProgrammerLin One-way coupling between rigid bodies and water has been implemented. Buoyancy is simulated volumetrically, and the fluid velocity field is sampled where the objects collide with it. Because the coupling is just fluid-on-objects, air does not factor into water displacement and the splashes seen are just visual, so moving objects themse...
Voxel Water Physics - Waterfalls, Rivers and Tunnels
Просмотров 106 тыс.4 года назад
Follow me on Twitter for more updates: ProgrammerLin It took a bit longer than expected, but the fluid simulation design from a few months ago has been implemented in our voxel project. It uses the same cell/particle hybrid method and is therefore fully volumetric with no height range limit beyond the 0-4095 y world boundary! It will flow through buildings, fall down into caves, flo...
Voxel Summer Forest Meadows
Просмотров 28 тыс.4 года назад
Follow me on Twitter for updates: ProgrammerLin Today we take a walk through an improved world featuring butterflies, new flowers, improved scene composition, improved terrain gen, and the return of falling leaves. I really appreciate everyone's support and patience. There will likely be one or two more videos before the big video I've been promising because my feature list for it h...
The most fun I've had working with voxels
Просмотров 72 тыс.4 года назад
Follow me on Twitter for updates: ProgrammerLin I know I said the announcement video was next, but I really wanted to share this one. Upon completing the core of the building system, I actually got hooked on it and spent a solid day just having fun. Combined with re-watching The Office simultaneously, it made for the best day of voxel dev I've ever experienced. The entirety of the b...
Destroying some Voxel Pumpkins with my Pet Wolf
Просмотров 29 тыс.4 года назад
Follow me on Twitter for updates: ProgrammerLin This is the final installment of the mini videos teasing some of the features I've been working on, this time including object fracturing, a WIP voxel character animation system, new path tracing (still working on the denoiser), day/night, some new terrain generation that gives me more control, and improved scene composition. Next vide...
Volumetric Terrain Fracturing - Detail Enhancement Preview #2
Просмотров 16 тыс.4 года назад
Follow me on Twitter for updates: ProgrammerLin Following the previous video, this short clip showcases another feature made possible to the enhancements the engine has undergone: volumetric fracturing of terrain and objects. A more extensive video showcasing what this enables will follow shortly. Thanks everyone for all your kind comments and support :)
Animated Voxel Trees - Detail Enhancement Preview
Просмотров 15 тыс.4 года назад
Follow me on Twitter for updates: ProgrammerLin This a showcase of an experimental enhancement to the engine that finally enables trees to blow in the wind. It's part of a larger video that will come in the near future, showcasing other new improvements and features including water physics, which was also teased recently.
This Real-Time 3D Fluid Sim Runs on One CPU Core.
Просмотров 39 тыс.4 года назад
Follow me on Twitter for updates: ProgrammerLin This was a research project that aimed to find a real-time realistic fluid simulation that was able to handle moderately complex scenes without taxing the GPU horribly or wiping out the entire CPU. It's a hybrid lagrangian-eulerian method based on the work by "Hu, Yuanming and Fang, Yu and Ge, Ziheng and Qu, Ziyin and Zhu, Yixin and Pr...
Voxels + Physics = A fun way to dig
Просмотров 28 тыс.4 года назад
Don't worry: we don't rotate our voxels here, because we know better. The whole approach is made possible thanks to a unified voxel framework. The world, physics processing, ray tracing (all of the objects are ray traced), lighting, procedural generation, sound tracing and collision detection all use the same voxel data, allowing for some nice optimizations. The entirety of the collision detect...
Exploring an Infinite Voxel Forest
Просмотров 36 тыс.4 года назад
Follow me on Twitter for more frequent updates: ProgrammerLin The last few months of development have been about taking our small, fixed voxel scene and laying the foundation for a procedural world to expand infinitely. This simple forest walk is the last one we'll take, friends, for next up is going to be some long-awaited gameplay. There are some things I'd like to improve of cour...
Ray Traced Reverb, Wind and Sound Occlusion (Path Traced Voxel Project)
Просмотров 98 тыс.4 года назад
The year is 2002 and you just installed the new Sound Blaster Audigy 2 card on your XP machine for some revolutionary EAX audio. What a time to be alive. Today, we bring some of that excitement back with RTX reverb, wind and sound occlusion using OpenAL. Twitter: ProgrammerLin
Path Traced Voxel Project - it all started with a single arch
Просмотров 56 тыс.4 года назад
After adding glass, making path tracing noiseless and run 20x faster (60fps HD!), and adding experimental building tools, I created a single arch and couldn't pull myself away for the next 3 weeks. I can't wait to see what real artists can do. ProgrammerLin

      Do you know what happened to him? I want to create something similar to this in Rust, and I've been trying to find John to ask questions about how all of this works... but everything, RUclips, Twitter, GitHub contributions, all ended 3 years ago. Now I'm just wondering if he is okay, or even alive. This looked so promising.

    • @valmirius
      @valmirius 10 часов назад

      He's alive, he's commented on things that don't pertain to this game. Before Twitter likes went private he was active on the account liking gfx related things. I assume he still is active on that acc to this day. He just went radio silent on the project's state entirely He won't say what's going on with it but I would hazard a guess at it being too much for one man and he got burnt out. No matter how talented Mixing c# (for our benefit - whether it's modding or otherwise and a pain for him) and c++ probably was a massive headache. It's a shame as it kills me that this is the only thing I've seen that looks like this (whether micro voxel or the lower res voxels)
