godot_voxel VS qodot-plugin

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

I've had a lot of success with Qodot and TrenchBroom for blocking

I know basically nothing about this https://github.com/QodotPlugin/qodot-plugin but perhaps it may be helpful.

Like /u/mistermashu mentioned, check out Qodot + Trenchbroom

I personally use Qodot: https://github.com/QodotPlugin/qodot-plugin since my skill with Blender is just OK, it makes building low-poly interiors very easy, and my game has a retro low-poly look to it.

For reference, here's the add-on link: https://github.com/QodotPlugin/qodot-plugin

There's the Qodot plugin for godot, which lets you import quake maps. I think the workflow would be pretty similar to the of source. Might wanna check that out.

The yellow rectangles are just a Godot MeshInstance with a cube mesh applied and stretched with a yellow grid texture applied to it. The rest of the level was made in TrenchBroom, a Doom / ID engine level editor and then imported and compiled in Godot using Qodot with a gray grid texture applied

Nobody use qodot https://github.com/QodotPlugin/qodot-plugin ? I find it pretty simple. If you don't use it, tell me why and what are the pro of your alternative. Thanks.
