godot_voxel VS Voxel-Core

Don't do this, CSG is unoptimized. Use this.

Take a look at https://github.com/Zylann/godot_voxel, which would be a great starting point that you could build game mechanics on top of.

Currently all our major C++ based number crunching is in the GDAL. We haven't had to make in-house GDExtensions or Modules, yet. But we do also use Godot Voxel. Both are good examples of where you'd want more native speed.

I originally ported Qodot to an engine module that required people to compile their own engine (like godot-voxel) but users were turned away at this first roadblock.

I really wanted to use it but sadly it might be hard to export projects done with it cuz it's not a gdextension yet https://github.com/Zylann/godot_voxel/issues/333 still possible but i think you gotta compile something.

If you aren't adverse to doing a custom editor build you could add https://github.com/Zylann/godot_voxel

To give some practical examples. At my day job we use GDAL (a C++ geospatial data processing library) and Zylann's Godot Voxel (a C++ engine Module) https://github.com/Zylann/godot_voxel

The master branch of this one will also build as a GDExtension for Windows. This one is successfully building regularly, but structured different than the rest of the GDExtensions I've seen. I haven't played with this project too much yet, but it's an insanely powerful module/extension: https://github.com/Zylann/godot_voxel

Totally, Godot can and has been used to create voxel content many times. A quick Google search for "Godot voxels" shows multiple resources on making voxels with Godot. There are even open source add-ons you can use to get started faster, the first two that popup on results are "Voxel-Core"(https://github.com/ClarkThyLord/Voxel-Core) and "godot_voxel"(https://github.com/Zylann/godot_voxel)

Try this: https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/465

take a look at the Voxel-Core plugin here: https://github.com/ClarkThyLord/Voxel-Core From the looks of it it can load up or edit a voxel model, and render it as a mesh produced by greedy meshing (optimizing the outer bound of the voxels into a simplified singular mesh.)

Still learning Godot and wanted to check out the voxel plug-in by ClarkThyLord. It's really cool! If you're interested in the source of my castle builder you can grab it here, feel free to ask anything about the development.

Nice, feel free to use it: https://github.com/ClarkThyLord/Voxel-Core/tree/rework
