euclidion was right
what was the breakthrough?
The breakthrough was to separate the visuals from what can be interacted with at a given time. I dont need to calculate collision on things 16 km away (I can if I need to, but I won't). This lets me really effectively compress the visuals algorithmically and I can dump it to voxel data as need for collision, pathfinding, etc. Its still quite a bit different from what euclideon has going on, which I suspect is just octrees. |

Good old LOD, GREAT job  Mentionning Euclidion was mostly a joke though If only now someone would finally solve animation! I mean seriously, texel are already points in space  |

Getting an Arcane Worlds vibe (that Magic Carpet remake that's developing sooooo slowly) |

looking fantastic. can we get a high-res version of the first/last image?

Some nice looking visuals you have. Stands out.

Just a few new shots of the vastly improved view distance (formerly 64-128 meters, now 16-64 KILOmeters) Lordy, your rendering has really improved. There's so much atmosphere in these latest shots. |

Here are two I had on hand from the last twitch stream:   |

Hot dang that's impressive. Water looks a little buggy in places, but that view distance is impressive.
Out of curiosity, do you think voxels will one day take over polygons? (You may have already answered that)

Gorgeous indeed! Can't wait to see it in motion!

You tweaked the lighting too, didn't you?

Nice. Are you reducing the voxel resolution in the distance? The mountains kinda have this watercoloury-look that you get when abusing the smart blur filter in Photoshop.

Yep median filter is turned on here (partially what Photoshop's smart blur relies on). It can be turned off as well, as you can see in other shots in the @voxelquest account, like this one: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CUTXr8OUwAAm4-s.png:large |

It looks pretty nice actually, have you thought of using it for low depth of field effects?

I might, but I do already have a blur-based DOF |

You could compare the two to see which one has better image fidelity/performance. Who knows, maybe a hybrid solution works best?
