  2. What is Voxel?
    ● Volume Pixel
    ● Data Structure
    ○ Integral X, Y, Z coordinates
    ○ Color

  4. Voxel Rendering Engine for iOS
    ● Rendering
    ○ Beautiful
    ● Performance
    ○ Blocks can be added or removed at interactive speeds
    ○ E.g. A 64x64x64 voxel world = 262,144 voxels!
    Add Delete Move
    Change Color

  7. Rendering - Meshing
    ● Naive way...
    ● Draw a 3D cube for each voxel.
    ○ 5,911 Voxels
    ○ 5,911 x 12 = 70,932 triangles

  8. Rendering - Meshing
    ● Skip the unseen voxels
    ○ Before: 5,911 Voxels
    ■ 5,911 x 12 = 70,932 triangles
    ○ After: 5,868 triangles
    ■ 8.2% of original
