DubbsPi - Stardance

@DubbsPi on Rust Voxel Engine (vulkan) · 5 days ago

This is a simple voxel engine programmed in rust using vulkan. It was hard to figure out ways to optimize triangle count while also keeping rendering fast. The solution I landed on was building one mesh to upload to the gpu, although this creates stutters upon loading new chunks. I was unable to find a way to fix this problem while also keeping the engine performant. Overall, I think it turned out pretty good for a first project here.

Did some optimization. Made stuff stutter a bunch but or else run at 1000fps

Added chunk threading (running into lack of culling issues to fix and maxing out of buffers)

Got a square rendered using wgpu’s vulkan with keyboard inputs working
