Dismantling

To create a similar scene in Avoyd voxel editor:
- Generate a Menger sponge with low amount per voxel to enable them to deform. Material is a smooth (0.3) saturated red, Light & atm. is blue sky.
- Edit the fractal: cut and paste from it using the spherical brush
- Render: path trace the scene with Full Voxels off & atmosphere volumetric shadows on
- Render post processing: OIDN denoise and AGX tonemapping Golden

White Mandelbrot voxel heightmap seen from above. It looks like cliffs by the sea.

Isometric render of gold-gribbled smooth ceramic beams lit from below. The beams are pierced through with many rectangular holes of varying sizes, letting the light through. It looks like the skeleton of a building complex.

Soft shadows in voxel renders: control the size of the sun to sharpen/soften the shadows with `Sun Angular Diameter` in Avoyd `Tools > Light and Atmosphere`

Inside a Menger sponge lit from above. The shadows are softer the further they are from their source. In this example using a very large sun, the distant ceiling casts very soft shadows in contrast to volumes casting sharp shadows on surfaces close to themselves.

In this Avoyd voxel render `Sun Angular Diameter` = 5 (larger sun -> smoother shadows.)

Inside a Menger sponge lit from above. The shadows are softer the further they are from their source.
This Avoyd voxel render uses the default sun size.
`Sun Angular Diameter` = 1

Inside a Menger sponge lit from above. All the shadows are sharp.

In this Avoyd voxel render `Sun Angular Diameter` = 0.1 (smaller sun -> sharper shadows)

Horizontal cut through a white and copper block bordered by light purple and red. The sky is white. Reflexions in the polished copper hint at more complex structures outside. Bounced light on the white floor and ceiling is purple and red.

Abstract white floor with a low ceiling open onto a grey sky, with a red greebled wall in the background. The sun light bounces reflecting the purple wall colours in places. Some floors and ceilings are highly polished, reflective copper.

New devlog post about exporting voxel models to optimised glTF meshes for Unreal Nanite.

There's a few technical details including some of the work arounds I use for issues with Nanite.

Just realised that in my software GPU wavefront pathtracing I could implement efficient virtual memory by storing any 'page miss' paths and then sort by page, load/unload pages and process the relevant paths.

Does anyone know if this has been done before?
