Others have probably already implemented the same idea (this technique may even already have a name, please tell me if you know), but it’s something I didn’t read about anywhere – I went googling for things like “smooth voxel […]

So, let’s start at the beginning. All virtual worlds need some kind of a coordinate system to represent positions in. Most 3D games and simulations represent a position with 3 floating-point numbers representing the X, Y and Z distance from the world’s origin (which is located at X,Y,Z=0,0,0). These numbers are usually in a meaningful unit […]
