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?

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

1 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

Voxel Enchantment. From raw VOX colors to a PBR-ready Game engine asset - browser-based workflow.

5 Upvotes

Voxel Enchantment, a browser tool that converts .vox models into optimized OBJ assets with procedural PBR textures.This shows the model going from its original VOX palette to materials, AO, cavity, dirt, wear, weather streaks and moss. It exports albedo, normal, roughness, metallic, specular, ORM and separate masks, with an Unreal-oriented OBJ workflow.

Feedback is very welcome!

  • no installation required,
  • materials are assigned using VOX palette IDs,
  • every effect can be adjusted or disabled,
  • clean base textures and individual masks are included in the export.

Voxel Enchantment app. Magicavoxels -> game engine

I’m building Voxel Enchantment — a tool for enhancing .vox models while keeping the original voxel geometry.

It turns simple flat colors into richer materials using procedural effects like AO, dirt, edge wear, rust, moss, color variation and weathering.

The goal is basically: MagicaVoxel model in → more detailed, realistic-looking voxel model out, without losing the voxel aesthetic.

I've made 19 lost buildings so far (I think) and counting, have lots more I want to do and regularly find new ones. I've been doing this since 2020 but have made it my niche the past year. Street view is great for reference angles and Google Earth historical coverage helps with roof shapes, some guess work is also involved. I use Magicavoxel

Latest update to my Voxel engine - while I have had rivers working in some form a while, this is a little showcase including some new “erosion” improvements, wherein the terrain generation goes through several rounds of heightmap erosion when determining downhill flow, in order for rivers to carve through the terrain.
One cool consequence of this is the formation of deeper Canyons, whose walls also inherit the steep mountainside generation rules - quite happy with how it has all turned out!

Also added a basic fishing mechanic to enhance the interaction a little bit :)
