Oct 30	answered	“Marching cubes” voxel terrain - triplanar texturing with depth?
Oct 18	answered	MMORPG design for time-limited players
Oct 11	comment	Finding cubes in frustum No, I get what happens with AABBoxes - however the solutions are tailored to finding objects that exist in floating point space, and work along the lines of "Is this object in this space" - rather than the inverse "Find all objects in this space" I didn't propose to do the "which-side" at all, rather I was thinking something similar to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresenham's_line_algorithm start with the near plane, generate a unit surface, and then move along until I hit the far plane. Intuitively to me it made more sense to work with unitcubes if I could.
Oct 10	comment	Finding cubes in frustum My understanding is that a frustum was finite - a chopped pyramid. That is how I have a bounding box. Yes, it's a voxel terrain, I've chunked up the terrain into blocks (16^3) - and am looking for the best method to add blocks to the generation, and rendering queue. I can't conceptually grasp how you'd use octrees in infinite scenarios.

Aug 31	revised	Creating a navmesh from a voxel terrain added 179 characters in body
Aug 31	comment	Creating a navmesh from a voxel terrain This implementation does - but you could build a nav-mesh in a similar fashion - off the top of my head, the marching squares algorithm will do the work for you - see my edit.

Aug 3	comment	Texturing voxel faces separately Do you have access to the UV's? Unless I'm misunderstanding this a texture-map and modified UV's will do this for you.
Jul 25	comment	Is it possible to make a text based game and filter bad stuff? Challenge accepted, I can be just as filthy with words censored as without. In fact, probably more-so.
