My goal for this project was to generate 3D models purely from code, without making anything 'by hand' in a traditional modeling tool. I'm drawn to a simplistic, boxy art style; for me it ignites my imagination and inspires creative thinking. To achieve this, voxels provide
My nephew calls anything pixelated or blocky “minecrafty.” This sparked an idea: could I build a tiny, “minecrafty” voxel renderer, but with lighting and mood that felt a bit different? This post walks through that experiment: what a voxel is in this context, how rays traverse the grid, and how
