popmilo Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Is there a game or demo using voxels ? I know Rescue on Fractalus and Eidolon used some kind of 3d terrain but that is not full voxel terrain..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRV Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) Not that I remember.. anyway it's not easy to know if they are really voxels just looking at the demo maybe some parts of "The Shrine" ? (well, I don't think so after seeing it again) is there any in the c64? Edited July 15, 2009 by NRV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym00 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I recall there being some space game on the 8bit using some clever voxel(esque) technology... I don't remember its name at all now, or even it it was ever shipped or if I found it on some prototypes site, but it reminded me of something like Zaxxon, but flying into the screen.. Quite blocky, and in grey scales if I recall correctly.. A quick google hasn't turned up anything, but I'll have another hunt again in a bit, I could do with seeing this again myself I really can't remember the name at all, but someone will remember it I'm sure.. I did look chuffing good though... Not voxels as such, but it's the closest thing I can think of... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(well, I don't think so after seeing it again) is there any in the c64? "The Shrine" doesn't have voxels in it... (pyramid part could be... but I doubt it is.) There is a part in Demo Digital World http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=4762 It says something like "texture maped landscape"... some hills in character or quarter of char resolution... Slow and and not so nice routine... Probably there are some other demos but I guess its all Char resoultion and not so fast... I Think Atari could do it better because of raw speed and graphic modes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybags Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 How'd I do that ? That link seems to be no good. For some reason, the actual link has the "..." in it instead of the proper text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of room for improvement I don't know if this counts as voxel, but there is this: http://yoomp.atari.pl A ball jump game which uses a scrolling 3-d tunnel.

Do I know about it ? I have been obsessed with it since it came out ! Well, its not voxel but it is kinda raytracing... Now that is idea... implement height of terrain into yoomp ?

popmilo Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Yoomp is not raytracing. That would take forever on the Atari. Well its texture mapping, but to get the coordinates for correct texture pixels to be drawn on screen, programmers had to make calculations wich include "tracing a ray" from eye of the player through screen towards the tunel surface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I don't think they even needed to do that... The background is a fixed design per level, irrespective of where the player is, so no need for such extravagence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what I'd call what they did. It's more perspective and vanishing point related than "ray". It's cool anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipj Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I know this is an old topic, but here's a nice youtube demo of some 3D this guy made using interrupts instead of raycasting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
