What is Greedy Meshing?
Why might you want to use this for your voxel terrain?
And will implementing the algorithm in C# make it run faster than if we just use GDScript?

This, and more, is what my newest video is about.

Tonight’s coding task is a little different.

I’m battling R Studio.
Hopefully it will end with a few useful plots for my next voxel video where we will compare two meshing algorithms (and also GDScript versions vs. C# versions).

Greedy Meshing in C#😎

Now I'm ready to measure performance for both the GDScript version and C# version of a few meshing algorithms.
I'll be measuring performance on a few different terrain types.

Greedy Meshing, V2.
Slow, but ready to be measured and compared to the previous meshing solution - this is for a mix between a dev log and a tutorial.

The next step is to move this to C++ and/or C#.

Our game uses real-time terrain deformation with custom #MarchingCubes implementation.

I'm using the multi-threaded threading model setting, and mutexes and semaphores to synchronize the threads. No signals are used for this, all of the logic and modifications to the terrain is handled by the VoxelTerrain script, but I do use call_deferred to update visual/collision meshes from thread

Let's optimize rendering our voxel terrain using ArrayMesh in Godot.

First, we’ll draw a single cube from scratch, then expand it to generate the entire terrain.

- Optimize to only draw what’s necessary
- See how easy it is to add collision

And now I'm done with most of the prep work for the next voxel terrain video.

We are no longer drawing every single cube.
Instead we create a custom mesh with only cube faces that aren't blocked by another cube😎

First episode of How to Make a Voxel Terrain in Godot is out!

I won’t just give you a finished solution.
But we will explore a bunch of interesting topics and step by step move from simple to more advanced solutions.

Todays to-do:
✅ write script for first episode in new Voxel Terrain tutorial series.

And get as much audio and video recorded as possible, so I can finish editing this week🤩
