Ken Silverman - Wikipedia

Most game engines these days use polygons. Voxed's screen capture now skips existing capture filenames if they already exist. This greatly simplifies changes to voxel map resolution. Can someone describe the algorithm used by Ken Silverman's Voxlap engine?

I must say though, that polygons do have one really big and unfair advantage - all the 3D accelerators support them, and this makes them quite hard to compete with. Which caught me off guard I'm not sure how he is doing that without opengl or direct3d. If he draws sprites he can use a Z-buffer generated by the ray-tracer. Voxed's color selection tool no longer dips below the screen. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google.

Asked 9 years ago. Polygons and voxels each have their advantages and disadvantages. C supports some more variants of image formats. Assuming 4 degrees of freedom, ray-cast across it for each vertical line on the screen, and maintain a list of visible spans which is clipped as each cube is drawn.

Change all 's to 's to allow the whole map to be seen. Full source code included. Bug fix to getcputype. A subset of the Voxlap source code release. Ken's Labyrinth is a first-person shooter game coded by Silverman.

The artifact is more noticable when increasing raycast density PREC. Email Required, but never shown. When I graduated college in May,I started working on a new voxel engine called "Voxlap".

I'm interested in how he performed rendering by ray-tracing culling no need for culling when ray-tracing occlusion voxel-voxel occlusion is handled naturally by ray-tracing. Ken Silverman in ASM now includes a hack that allows self-modifying code to work under systems where Data Execution Prevention is enabled.

This was causing a crash in some screen modes. Retrieved from " https: The scene is represented by many miniature cubes voxelshence you see them when you look closer. Then performing the lighting calculation.
