This does seem to be under the definition of voxels. Hrm. I need to brush up on things. Nope, I stand corrected :D . This does seem to be under the definition of voxels. Hrm.

Voxels were used to create landscapes in old video games, 3d pixels are more like this, or what are used in Minecraft. Very different concept. One is a cube in an x, y, z space. voxel is a vertical pixel defined in a 2d space. The x and y being the location in the 2d space, and it's 3rd parameter being the height of the pixel. It will be nice when graphics cards get to the point where they can start optimizing for 3d pixels, and they can start getting smaller and smaller. A lot of amazing things open up. Especially if we can make the 3d pixels very small and elastic. Very cool :D. My next project I am going to play with this stuff.

I am very impressed at how fast this voxel rendering works compared to traditional 3D rendering. The style looks great, I wonder how far you could take it. Amazing stuff!

Well I have something like this working on the iOS devices, and also in Molehill. It can throw around a lot of pixels which is good. Expect a game for flash as well as iOS soon.

I'm looking at several voxel engines, and most are extremely limited. I'd love to see some atom based games in the future, but I'm not sure if it'll ever show up in AS3.

(and with real "perspective" 3D) http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flash/molehill/ hi trend,
