Umbra Engine - Voxel engine in XNA

[3DPlanets]

Now add creepers.

[SuperJoshymon]

Put a bit of water in the middle of one of those. Give map to Nova. GAY TONY EVERY WHERE!

@minecraftermad read the description

[minecraftermad]

@combatrevolved i sayed ...

[adventurerOK]

I would like to see the source code of the xna version (before u ported it too opentk)

[SuperchargedSean]

what if minecraft was shaped like that?

[dom6e]

Mh ... this looks quite interesting. Seems like some experiment to me. What will/is it good for though?

[009stickAlex]

you stole MINECRAFT-Textures !

[xriceboii]

@009stickAlex Anyone can use any texture as long as its not copyrighted.

[fightzeud1]

time for some base jumping :)

[noobenstein]

Help I do not know what pixelz are???

[Youloeka]

For a gamer, this might seem a boring, for a programmer, this is just an ordinary concept, well made, for a kid, this is pure reason to RAGE!!

[adventurerOK]

How do the octrees work, and how do you make an effect that can multi-texture?

[Bayinx]

Awsome work ;). Can't wait to see the final product.

Just a question, why did you decided to migrate from XNA to OpenTK?

[basmithtx]

@Bayinx The only reason I can think of is to port it to Mono, so it could run on Linux/OSX

[lucasmontec]

some intense sinx cosy tgz going on...

minecraft texture and xna engine

[kotowate]

@gabriel9873412874329 what the hell is xna engine? do you even have any idea what are you talking about?

[adventurerOK]

@kotowate Xbox New Architecture engine 

[kotowate]

@adventurerOK I was asking a guy, who didn't seem to have any idea, what he's talking about. And XNA is... well, "XNA's Not Acronym" that for starters. And it is not an engine, it is a framework - there is a huge difference, just ask any programmer, even better, game programmer. Oh, that could be me, but ask someone else ;) and one more obvious thing XNA is not limited to XBox. There is even partial implementation of older version for linux.

[RyanCol0511]

actually the grass is higher in minecraft so everything anybody said about minecraft can compare to this.

[ryonagana]

cool but let me ask something

how many resource this program uses?

[idvhfd]

Yay for Minecraft!

[AnimationSector]

people should quit complaining, I doubt anyone else here could do anything like this.

[MrEggBass]

@AnimationSector I can, and I did.

But yea, I didn't complain, and I think no one should :)

[UltraGigala]

Minecraft



[Crazmuss]

looks like minecraft

[NerfLad]

He can get in trouble for using an incredibly low-res smattering of brown and green? In all seriousness, this is just proof of concept. I'm sure the textures would be replaced for some kind of release. If anything, people should be saying, "hey cool, he likes minecraft!"

[donovanshanegreen]

minecraft

[xPreatorianx]

@hertzman5 @KinoFootage Seriously? You people need to stop policing the net. Let notch do it. I'm tired of fans associated with a game policing modders on the net telling people what is and is not allowed. 1) Are you the creator? 2) Are you on the creator's legal team? 3) How do you know he's even gonna release it without replacing the textures? and finally 4) Who the hell honestly asked you?

[sondreixixv]

@xPreatorianx Amen...

[Gunnerkelly]

@xPreatorianx Welcome to the internet. Why in the world would you expect people NOT to express what they thought in a public forum? : /

[9700ghost]

@Gunnerkelly It works both ways. People also have the right to talk about how stupid others are. On that note.. how is pointing out of the obvious working out for you?

[RedFromWinter]

@xPreatorianx

OMG OMG Infiniminer

[foamyjesus]

I dont see any voxels.

[andreirocks1992]

@foamyjesus lol :p

[sacredgeometry]

@foamyjesus Was that a joke?

[KinoFootage]

Minecraft textures, you can get in trouble!

[Lightts0utt]

whats the map seed? :P

[SquareWaveHeaven]

Bloxels

[MarioWars]

awesome

[c0decub]

@MarioWars faggot stfu

[MCHaydenW]

@c0decub why you calling @MarioWars a faggot? what the fuck he say? he only said awesome.

[c0decub]

@MCHaydenW idk lol welcome to the internet

[MCHaydenW]

@c0decub yeah thats what the internet has come to, people bein dicks cuz they internet gangstas, do that shit in real life see how far it gets you

[c0decub]

@MCHaydenW i doubt anybody actually behaves that way IRL

[MCHaydenW]

@c0decub Yo that my point, you do it on the internet cuz your hiding behind your keyboard cuz you know no one can do anything, and you know if you said that in real life you would get your ass handed to you.

[c0decub]

@MCHaydenW exactly

[McModTuts]

so wheres the trees?

[TimGameTV]

convert that to a minecraft map. please.

IS SAID FUCKING PLEASE!

[GarrysPattar]

Thats my minecraft world xD

[zetal911]

Could you just do everyone a favor and rewrite minecraft using this engine? There's so little lag compared to that messy Java coding... I'd probably pay 15 dollars again just for lagfree MC.

[RatmanXX]

If Minecraft could run as smoothly as this...

[Splugger]

It has the same textures as minecraft.

[sondreixixv]

@Splugger Really? I didn't noitce :O

[CronoticNG]

@Splugger thanks for pointing the obvious

[zeiksz]

Nagyon király vagy :) grats!! :)

[jarblewarble]

Gahh, I wish Minecraft worked like this.

[Novotnajz]

fucking crazy awesome

[sleepingeye]

Well i guess it's more a block-engine than it is a voxel-engine

[noobenstein]

@sleepingeye Blocks are voxels. Big ones, that's all.

[mietek99z]

wow



[Rman159Productions]

May i ask how you got around the lag factor for rendering?

[sondreixixv]

@Rman159Productions We go through each block, eliminating any faces that are between two opaque blocks. The method for this selection is one of the main optimalizations we're doing, and currently we divide each chunk into an octree based on block-visibility (invisible, translucent or opaque).

In addition to this, we only build the vertices at the beginning, and at chunk-updates. Each chunk has a VertexBuffer and the drawing-code loopes through each chunk, drawing it's VertexBuffer.

[jarblewarble]

@sondreixixv Pretty much the only thing that Minecraft needs now is infinite vertical terrain; then it'll be just as good as its competition.

[RatmanXX]

@jarblewarble there is a singleplayer mod, it extends the 128 meters limit to 4 kilometers...

[jarblewarble]

@RatmanXX It's not perfect, though. Ideally Minecraft would have infinite terrain in the x, y, and z directions

[jarblewarble]

@jarblewarble So then the Nether, the Aether, and the normal world could be integrated into one world

[JKinney629]

@sondreixixv That's actually really clever, props to you guys.

Obviously the game looks like Minecraft, but if you're eliminating the non-visible block faces, would you still be able to dig into the terrain? Would the engine display those block faces as you carved into one of those slopes?

If you can't, then comparison's to Minecraft are even more silly, if the game isn't about mining.

[Tuckinator99]

omg that is fricking awsome

[Deeke777]

Looks amazing man, reminds me of FortressCraft or Craftworld

[holobalobalo]

@Deeke777 I'm surprised you didn't say MineCraft.

[seandewar5]

@Deeke777 Erm... doesn't remind you of.. well... Minecraft?

[minecraftmaster927]

wow are they hills or mountains?

[GeirMovies]

I liek chocolate milk

[oliball123]

@GeirMovies OMG ZORZ ME TO

[SoraNashimi]

@GeirMovies and I like Potatoes?

[TheOneTrueLolMat]

Looks great!
