What is a Voxel?

88 Upvotes

A voxel is a portmanteau of the words "volume" and "pixel"--meaning a voxel is a volumetric-pixel.

If a pixel is a two-dimensional square, a voxel is a three-dimensional cube.

Currently voxels are used in medical fields to create three-dimensional maps of the human body, usually created by CAT-scan and associated scanning technologies. Voxel-tech in medical uses has proved to be computationally and storage intensive.

But this technology is very promising, and as computing power has improved other uses for voxels have been discovered and developed.

Recently voxel-fluid simulation has allowed engineers to replace wind-tunnels with accurate simulations..

And now voxel tech with Nvidia is improving lighting technology.

What new uses for voxels will people come up with tomorrow?

Sun moving over a Sponza-style atrium, in the voxel editor I'm building

This is a palace courtyard in the spirit of Sponza, the classic lighting test scene, and one of the sample scenes in a voxel editor I'm making for game artists. In the video the sun moves across the sky. The coloured curtains tint the floor and the vaults, and the aisles the sun never reaches are lit only by bounced light.

What I think makes it nice for artists:

Materials on palette colours. Glass, metal, glossy stone, water and glowing lanterns are set per colour, so the pool reflects the arcades and the lanterns light the aisles.

Layers like a paint program. Every part here (arches, curtains, fountain, plants) is its own layer, with blend modes and opacity. You can restyle or hide one without touching the rest.

Lighting you control. You set the sun's direction and height yourself, and the final render happens right in the editor, so what you model is what you get.

Room to build big. Models aren't capped at 256³.

What would you want from an editor like this? What's the most tedious part of your voxel workflow right now? I’m mostly interested in edition features you would like to have, the render is here only to grab your attention :)

A world that reacts to its own music. The kick shakes the sea, notes fire sparks, a gull whistles along.

Created some voxel frogs and added them to my indie game, Vitality!

I plan to not have them all in the same location like they are in the video, and they'll be more spread out across the Agrokar Swamps (the swamp area in my game). I'm really proud of how I randomized the frogs' animations start point and speed slightly through a script. Gonna probably reuse that script in the future.

If you have any questions about the frogs or my game Vitality as a whole, let me know in the comments!

Fans Restore Multiplayer in Ace of Spades: AOS Revival Project Launched

2 Upvotes

Following the shutdown of the official Ace of Spades servers by Jagex, the community was left without a way to play the release version of the shooter. A Bulgarian enthusiast known as KikoTs has managed to restore custom server hosting by combining modern AI models with surviving 2013 game files once shared by a developer on the forums.

The initiative is named AOS Revival, with the playable client called BattleSpades.

·         The full, authentic Ace of Spades experience by Jagex (via the BattleSpades client), rather than a fan remake built from scratch.

·         Functional dedicated server software, allowing players to host matches independently without relying on Jagex's decommissioned infrastructure.

·         Cross-play and backward compatibility with version 0.75: the unified server browser lists active sessions from OpenSpades, BetterSpades, and Build and Shoot (Voxlap) clients.

Download the client:aosplay.net/download
Community & matchmaking: Discord Server
