Can I use voxels of smaller size?

Modified on Thu, 23 Mar 2023 at 11:06 PM

Voxel Play supports voxels of 1m in size for terrain generation. It uses many optimizations and occlusion algorithms to reduce vertex count, and this calculations assume voxels have a size of 1x1x1.


However, you can use custom voxel types of any shape for vegetation, trees, custom objects and items, etc. Anything that's thought as an individual element can be of any shape and size. Because custom voxel types use prefabs, you can use any geometry for these objects, and even you can have complex hierarchies or scripts in those prefabs. Check out the Custom Voxel Types page for more info.


If you need smaller voxels for terrain, an alternative is to make anything else bigger! Make your character/NPCs/items use a greater scale and adjust the camera distance appropriately. The effect, like in cinema, will be that terrain voxels look smaller.
