Rethinking Voxels

DISCLAIMER

this version is an alpha release. it is expected to contain many bugs.

hotfix

• fix shading with basic PBR support or per-pixel lighting
• fix a compilation error with default settings

changes

• rewrite the lighting code:
  • increase maximum amount of lights at any given location from 3 to 64
  • bump openGL version from 330 to 430 for compute shader support (this breaks MacOS compatibility)
  • merge shadow volume blocklight shadow mode and basic light propagation
  • add accurate ray tracing (off by default)
    • this allows custom models and mobs to be handled correctly by the ray tracer
  • add denoising
  • remove global illumination (or not implement it again yet)
  • remove interactive water waves (the setting still exists, but does not work)
• Change versioning scheme
  • I would like to publish a full release eventually
