*How do Voxel Games like Minecraft render all those blocks, anyways?* In this three part video series, we'll be covering Voxel Game Meshing! We'll travel from the basic theory all the way to advanced rendering tricks in Vulkan, which let you get the most out of your GPU. This time, we'll go over how Voxel Environments are chunked into distinct regions, and the many optimizations that can be applied to them. Specifically, we'll go over the distinction between meshes, quads, polygons, and vertices, backface culling, greedy meshing, and chunk level-of-detail.
I'm really passionate about the topic of meshing in Voxel Games. I've been working on my own Voxel Game Engine for over 5 years, and I'...
