transvoxel-unity

transvoxel-unity is a procedural voxel terrain generator for Unity using the Job System and Burst.

The tool is made for academic and demonstration purposes and is in no way considered production ready.

Requirements

• Unity 2022.3.5 or newer.
• Universal Render Pipeline

Installation

• Create a new folder inside the 'Packages' folder in your Unity Project root
• Download the project and copy it inside the new folder

Alternatively, you can install the package as a submodule by running the git command inside your project repository:

git submodule add https://github.com/bbQsauce5/transvoxel-unity.git Packages/TransvoxelUnity

System features:

• Fast Transvoxel implementation using Unity's Job System and Burst Compiler
• Source code is entirely written in C#
• Chunking and dynamic level of detail using an octree for far view distances
• "Unlimited" blending between textures using texture arrays and triplanar shading
• Collider generation inside jobs off the main thread

Future work

• Terrain editing
• Decorations and foliage generation
• Infinite terrain generation
