    Hello people, I am from Brazil,and I am posting this game here because this forum is awesome for feedbacking

    Features :
    - Voxel Terrain
    - Voxel procedural trees with fall physics
    - 3 biomes ( snow mountains, desert, florest )
    - chunk realtime terrain loading
    - building and destructing is possible
    - Triplanar texturing
    - Save/ Load suport
    - more are coming...

    and the Download of all the Project, yes the project folder(outdated)... : http://www.mediafire.com/download/it80gd6awb7q915/smoothcraft - projeto do unity.rar

    Download of the lastest PC player :http://www.mediafire.com/download/l1g02mn2mdo9w1h/smoothcraftv002(3).rar

    please comment if this have interested you

    all Thanks for this tutorial : http://studentgamedev.blogspot.no/

    Fantastic implementation!

    It looks like you might be using Instantiate quite a bit, there is probably a performance issue there affecting chunk loading speeds and block destruction? Have you looked into alternatives? Perhaps a pooling system?

    We are using a similar Marching Cubes implementation. I have been thinking through some problems and goals for Marching Cubes that might interest you:

    - Smoothing normals
    - Slope calculation (adjusting Y of vertices according to surrounding block heights up to N blocks away, similar to a lighting calculation, looking for top-most/peaks and spreading them out)
    - Applying Matching Cubes using each of the slope-calculated vertices as a voxel instead of the block directly
    - Storing density of block vertices in block metadata as floats, this would allow for things like animating waves through a surface or showing a material getting bunched up at the bottom of a hill against a wall
    - LOD to simplify Marching Cubes for distant chunks
    - Greedy optimization (new UV issues?)

    Do you have any more recent demos or projects available? I very much enjoy your work.

    Are the biomes random to?

    Hay I was wondering if the alexstv/student game dev tutorials is really helpful for making this kind of Marching cubes game.
