i mean, they're still being used they're just not minecraft style blocks anymore

enshrouded from last year is pretty popular, and entirely voxel based but looks very pretty (imo)

IIRC they were being used without the minecraft look from the start - Crysis and Red Alert 3 used them, for example.

I remember playing Comanche on my PC and being blown away at the realistic environment my PC was capable of making.

I remember all the vehicles in Red Alert 2 were vowels, what was vowels in Red Alert 3?

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 1 points 5 months ago

Vehicles again. I'm not sure when it started, I just remember them being in 3.

the minecraft "voxels" aren't real voxels and they look like the funkopops of retro gaming

Volumetric pixels. When everything is made out of smol cube instead of textured polygons.

I dont care thaaaat much about gfx but if your game isnt about building stuff/minecraft etc I dont really like voxels.

Minecraft isn't even voxels, they're textured!
