Yeah I'm currently planning on open sourcing my engine. what can I say, I like free stuff, I assume everybody else does as well. royalties is a pretty fair way of doing it, personally I prefer paying for a onetime license (if just for the current version).
PS: Thats how I plan to get GI, I'll just have all the rays check if they hit a voxel and if so add it to a buffer of hit voxels, then just have yet another compute shader shade all hit voxels, the result of which will be per-voxel GI. (not complete GI just area wide not full world GI)
Indeed, If I run into any trouble I will ask :D I think I'll probably do the voxel raytracing first, and just have the meshing later, I'll have the voxel raytracer write to the Depth-Buffer and then just have the rasterizer compare depthbuffer distance and check if it should render that particular pixel or not. But I'll be doing all raytracing in a compute shader which will fill a texture and have that texture be read by the fragment shader later.
Hey, thanks! I won't be using all of bevy, I'm going to write my own voxel renderer, I'm not a fan of how bevy does it (default rendering). So i'll just be writing my own and integrating it with the rest of the system. Its a neat game engine this project was made using only the ecs side of bevy no default renderer or other libs at all: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2198150/Tiny_Glade/ Kinda similar to what I'm doing, but with voxels.
preferably not all of it. I only really want to see the most basic implementation of a voxel engine, the the basics of getting visible voxel objects on screen.
Hey, I've been building my own voxel engine and its going fine. But I'd like to see how a real solid implementation looks, this might be a lot, but while your project is still in its infancy, would you let me read through the source code? I'd like to see what the beginnings of a better voxel engine look like. If not, thats totally fine. :)
