Question by Healios · Mar 11, 2017 at 02:44 AM · meshcubevoxelfacecull

Voxel face culling

Hello,

I'm experimenting with a voxel "engine", and I'm trying to cull out the interior faces of the mesh that I'm generating, but it's just not working.

I can't wrap my head around why the below code is not working, to me the logic seems correct...

The code (I'll provide the project if you deem it necessary):

 foreach (var voxel in Voxels)
 {
     if (voxel == null) continue;
 
     var topVoxel = GetAdjacentVoxel(voxel, FaceDirections.Top);
     var bottomVoxel = GetAdjacentVoxel(voxel, FaceDirections.Bottom);
     var leftVoxel = GetAdjacentVoxel(voxel, FaceDirections.Left);
     var rightVoxel = GetAdjacentVoxel(voxel, FaceDirections.Right);
     var backVoxel = GetAdjacentVoxel(voxel, FaceDirections.Back);
     var frontvoxel = GetAdjacentVoxel(voxel, FaceDirections.Front);
 
     if (topVoxel != null && !topVoxel.IsActive || topVoxel == null) voxel.CreateTopFace(vertices, triangles, colors);
     if (bottomVoxel != null && !bottomVoxel.IsActive || bottomVoxel == null) voxel.CreateBottomFace(vertices, triangles, colors);
     if (leftVoxel != null && !leftVoxel.IsActive || leftVoxel == null) voxel.CreateLeftFace(vertices, triangles, colors);
     if (rightVoxel != null && !rightVoxel.IsActive || rightVoxel == null) voxel.CreateRightFace(vertices, triangles, colors);
     if (backVoxel != null && !backVoxel.IsActive || backVoxel == null) voxel.CreateBackFace(vertices, triangles, colors);
     if (frontvoxel != null && !frontvoxel.IsActive || frontvoxel == null) voxel.CreateFrontFace(vertices, triangles, colors);
 }

Another thing, would greedy meshing nullify the need to cull out the interior faces, or should they be used in conjunction with each other for the best result?

Best regards Marcus
