Recall that at a high level polygon rendering breaks down into two parts:В 1.) primitive assembly, and 2.) scan conversion (aka polygon filling). Thus, over the lifetime of a mesh, the total amount of computational work it consumes is asymptotically dominated by the cost of rendering. As a result, it is quite sensible to cache the results from a mesher and only ever call it when the geometry changes. In a typical Minecraft game chunks do not get modified that often compared to how frequently they are drawn. I hope you are convinced that making these assumptions does not appreciably change the core of the meshing problem (and if not, well IвЂ™ll try to sketch out in the conclusion how the naive version of these algorithms could be extended to handle these special cases.)

Finally, we shall suppose that our chunks are stored naively in a flat bitmap (array).

Similarly we wonвЂ™t make any assumptions about the position of the camera, nor will we consider any level of detail type optimizations.

Instead of having multiple block types with different textures and lighting conditions, weвЂ™ll suppose that our world is just a binary 0-1 voxel map.

For the sake of exposition, weвЂ™ll consider meshing in a very simplified setting: But before doing this, we first need to say a bit more precisely what exactly meshing is (in the context of Minecraft maps) and what it means to do meshing well.

This process is called meshing, and in this postВ IвЂ™m going to discuss three different algorithms for solving this problem.

The main challenge in using polygons is figuring out how to convert the voxels into polygons efficiently. One of the main innovations in Infiniminer (and Minecraft) is that they use polygons instead of raycasting to render their volumes.

This time IвЂ™ll try to tackle a different problem: Meshing

The last post I wrote on Minecraft-like engines got a lot of attention, and so I figured it might be interesting to write a follow up.
