First person shooter gameplay prototype in a voxel-based game engine
A game engine tester trying out a voxel engine.
Two voxel characters looking at eachother, each character is controlled by a client.
Screenshot of a voxel based racing track from a prototype car game, showing a winding track made of small colorful voxels, with simple car model and voxel terrain under dynamic lighting.
Voxels rendered with Sparse Voxel Raytracing. Upon subtracting voxels, the SVDAG structure contains branches without leaves.
User edits individual cubes in a 3D voxel scene, and the camera zooms out to reveal a highly detailed human face built entirely from voxels
Screenshot of a voxel editor rendering a 3D scene using a 1-indexed Sparse Voxel DAG (SVDAG)
A pretty landscape picture made from tiny cubes also known as voxels.
A volumetric scene made out of tiny cubes.
A voxel model generated from an octree structure, displayed in a blocky, grid-like 3D form. The model shows clean voxel geometry with evenly spaced cubes, representing accurate spatial conversion. Ideal for use in games or digital art using the .vox format.
A realistic Voxel rendering, based on a Sparse Voxel Octree Directed Acyclic Graph. The pathtracer is rendering the voxel normals of the scene.
A highly detailed Voxel scene using a experimental pathtracer with OpenGL and C++, this is in development for a renderer, voxelizer and editor that will be available to the public in the future.
This Sparse Voxel Octree Directed Acyclic Graph has a depth of 16, rendering tiny voxels or otherwise known as 3d pixels to create this very detailed volumetric scene. A experimental pathtracer is being used to render this scene, allowing for better quality and smoothing visual artifacts.
Rendered visualization of a Level 16 Sparse Voxel Directed Acyclic Graph (SVDAG) representing a 3D scene. The voxel cubes are extremely small due to the high level of detail, giving the appearance of a low-polygon model while retaining volumetric voxel structure.
A Sparse Voxel Octree Directed Acyclic Graph converted into a MagicaVoxel .vox file. Allowing for other third-party tools and software to benefit from this data structure.
Animated pixel art character walks through a voxel-rendered dungeon lit using surface normals. The character approaches a solid wall and breaks through it, revealing a hidden room. The environment is fully destructible, showcasing voxel-based interactivity and dynamic level design.
Side-facing animated voxel fox running in a continuous loop, displayed in a colorful, low-poly 3D style. The fox has a charming pixelated appearance with vibrant orange fur, white highlights, and blocky legs that animate fluidly as it dashes across the scene. The animation captures a sense of playful motion, enhanced by slight color flickering that gives it a nostalgic, retro-game feel. The background is minimal, keeping the focus on the fox’s smooth and expressive running cycle. Perfect visual for voxel animation enthusiasts, game developers, and digital artists.
Animated voxel-style 3D fox character facing directly toward the viewer, rendered in a colorful, pixelated art style. The fox features a blocky, low-poly aesthetic with large expressive eyes, pointy ears, and a vivid orange-and-white fur palette. It performs a subtle looping animation, giving it a lifelike and cute appearance. Slight color flickering occurs throughout the video, adding a playful, retro charm. The style is reminiscent of indie games and voxel-based digital art, blending nostalgia with modern animation techniques. Ideal for fans of voxel art, game development, and character animation.
A voxel fox rendered with NVIDIAs Efficient Sparse Voxel Octree Raymarching technique and Symmetry Aware encoding allowing for tiny voxels.
A 3D voxel scene represented as a compressed Sparse Voxel Directed Acyclic Graph (SVDAG) dynamically scales its depth, smoothly shrinking and expanding the voxelized geometry while maintaining detail and structure.
Multiple voxelized spheres dynamically spawn and collide within an uncompressed Sparse Voxel DAG (SVDAG). Each sphere appears in real-time, interacts physically with others, and responds to the voxel world.
A group of voxelized spheres rendered inside an uncompressed Sparse Voxel DAG (SVDAG) collide, bounce, and interact with each other in real-time. The motion is smooth and dynamic, showcasing realistic physical responses without the use of a traditional physics engine. The scene is rendered using GPU-based voxel logic.
A realistic 3d scene using voxels. It uses a sparse voxel octree directed acyclic graph to allow for a very high volumetric resolution.
Voxel engine with sculpting support, sadly this is has technical issues and a new version is in the works. #voxel #game
A Sparse Voxel Octree rendering of a Voxelized old abandoned building created last year.
Volumetric graphics using a SparseVoxelOctree to render a large realistic voxel landscape with a creek. This was developed last year.
Voxelized Geometry stored and raytraced within a Sparse Voxel Octree (SVO). This was created last year.
Sparse Voxel Octree rendering artifact, created a fractal.
My office setup, with picture of myself on the wall, and my computer setup.
Realistic volumetric scene generated from photogrammetry and converted into tiny voxels which are stored in a SVO. The SVO is then pathtraced generating a realistic image of the scene.
Sparse Voxel Octree Directed Acyclic Graphs (SVDAGs), this image showcases being able to edit/modify high resolution volumetric scenes, which you will see a stickman drawing, and big spheres in the middle of the room. The image also shows dark and brighter reds (heat) to showcase the iterations it took till it hit the voxel as we are using raytracing/raymarching.
