My voxel editor

[Jimmy Valavanis]

A new version (1.3.1) is available.

Downloads: https://sourceforge.net/projects/del...-voxel-editor/ (Windows Executable & full source code)

New features:
* Heighmap and terrain importing
* Copy/Paste front, back, left, right, top and down views
* Optimized OpenGL rendering (using technology from DelphiDoom's OpenGL renderer)

For Pascal Programmers:
Inside the vxe_mesh.pas file you can find the TVoxelMeshOptimizer class.
This class will optimize a (naive) voxel buffer (a plain 3-dimentional ARRAY - declared at voxels.pas file) to an optimized mesh structure (use the LoadVoxel() member function).
Then the mesh structure can be rendered with the RenderGL() member function.

I don't see any source in the file.

I don't see any source in the file.

Go here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/del...D_VOXEL_1.3.1/

You'll see there's two files, one with the binaries and one with the source.

Thanks. Pretty confusing site that sourceforge.

I get 'Left side cannot be assigned to' in pngimage.pas line 2769:

Byte(Dest^) := fOwner.GammaTable[pByte(Longint(Src) + 2)^]; inc(Dest);

Replacing pChar with pAnsiChar in whole file helps.

Need also to comment out the third line

  InitOpenGL;
  ReadExtensions;
//  ReadImplementationProperties;

To get it working. After that compiles nice on Berlin 10.1

So, I ported the application to Lazarus this morning as I didn't feel like reinstalling Delphi on my home computer just to test it out.

I've attached a zip file with the complete project source folder if anyone else using Lazarus wants to build it themselves.

Just so no one gets confused: this version uses FPC's ZStream unit and built-in PNG handling classes, so I didn't include any of the ZLib object files or PNG-related units from the original repository as they're no longer used at all. Also, FPC/Lazarus obviously doesn't use or need FastMM, so I didn't include those files either.

Lastly, @Jimmy: Feel free to take this version of the code and make a separate Lazarus tree on your SourceForge page, if you want.

That was fast

Great!

Thanks. Pretty confusing site that sourceforge.

Not so confusing as GitHub is.

I'm serious. I don't know why GitHub is so popular (except that SF had problems in the past) because it is a mess. I have problems finding my own branches! Anyway I don't want to start a war, so use whatever you are comfortable with.

A new version (1.5.1) is available.

Download: https://sourceforge.net/projects/del...D_VOXEL_1.5.1/ (source code and Windows executable)

This new version add an option to easily create sprites from a voxel.
Sprites are exported in 8 or 16 angles, as PNG images inside a PK3(ZIP) file.

Very nice.

Everytime I see an update here, I wonder to reboot my old voxel engine. I'm sure Thyandyr's one is great, but I prefer a more classic approach.
