love how youtube thinks this is minecraft

The planet seems very small. What would happen if you drilled a hole all the way through and jumped in?

how did you map a cube intro a sphere?

[majeric]

Cool. What does the core of the planet look like?

[bip]

Cool!!!
Haha, the video description says "Game: Minecraft".

Nice work! My suggestion from experience: use a separate rendering path for nearby voxels, so they can have more detail. Odds are that players will spend more time up close than far away (depending on your game), so it's worth investing substantial time into that use case. Good luck with future work, looks promising!

Would love to see an Astroneer version of this planet!!!

[conflictgamer]

Damn those blocks thicker than oatmeal

Mojang: trying to make caves and cliffs update
This man: ahh i already done that

So you can walk around un and end up in the same spot you started

[ruukaoz]

what happens when you mine into the center of this planet?

[pdwzoox]

Cool you can also add more planets and you will have Minecraft and KSP at once

[UnrealTefel]

Hi, very nice work!
I wonder if using voxels is it possible to make completely plain terrain and generate trees in more than 6 directions?

[ricciillmatic]

I have one question though, Does the blocks get smaller the deeper down you go?

[BlackWolffpl]

Perfect, If you coded this into Starmade that would be simply amazing (already being awesome)
Gratulations on masters degree

[Aceyface]

This looks spectacular, how long did it take you to make it?

[LedoCool]

Oook, I have questions.
- Is the planet truly round, or is that shader work?
- If it is, are voxels not rectangular in nature?
- If they're not, do they decrease in size (visually) when approaching core of the planet?
- If yes, then does that mean you have irregular grid in polar coordinate system?

Impressive.

Would it be possible to have multiple planets and space to have 0 g

How did you get that unity engine intro? it looks so much better than the default.
Also, I am making a game that uses a similar chunking system. Early on I had issues with rendering slowness, and I learned that Minecraft tried to reduce draw calls by doing a thing called batching. But idk how you could manually batch draw calls on a per chunk basis.

how do all of the blocks face straight out from the center of the sphere?
