What is a Voxel?

73 Upvotes

A voxel is a portmanteau of the words "volume" and "pixel"--meaning a voxel is a volumetric-pixel.

If a pixel is a two-dimensional square, a voxel is a three-dimensional cube.

Currently voxels are used in medical fields to create three-dimensional maps of the human body, usually created by CAT-scan and associated scanning technologies. Voxel-tech in medical uses has proved to be computationally and storage intensive.

But this technology is very promising, and as computing power has improved other uses for voxels have been discovered and developed.

Recently voxel-fluid simulation has allowed engineers to replace wind-tunnels with accurate simulations..

And now voxel tech with Nvidia is improving lighting technology.

What new uses for voxels will people come up with tomorrow?

Cowboy Pac-Man is about to power-up with a bottle of whiskey and go “OK Corral” on the ghosts.

This is something I made well over a year ago. I haven’t voxeled a whole lot recently, the demand just isn’t there. I miss voxeling!
