Cubiquity for UE4 - Voxel Terrain Plugin

Yeah, we’ve been working with voxels for a long time. The earliest parts of PolyVox date back to around 2006. I agree that editing voxel terrain can be nicely intuitive as I think we show in this video. We’ve got some interesting plans for the future for using Dual Contouring with some custom tweaks to get the best compromise between smooth and sharp features.

The plugin breaks the volume down into chunks in an octree and creates a mesh for each chunk. Cubiquity includes the ability to load dynamic LOD versions of octree nodes as shown in this video using Gameplay3D. LOD isn’t working yet in UE4 but it’s on the list.

So got a few questions about Cubiquity as well as a few suggestions.

Questions -

1. Does Cubiquity allow for infinite terrain?
2. What are the file size of individual .VDB files?
3. What platforms are supported with this plugin so far?
4. Is Cubiquity network ready?
5. Are the block and smooth terrain going to be toggle able via a bool or will it be a shader option?

Suggestions -

1. Can we import real world terrain data (Heightmap) into Cubiquity for making real life game worlds? If not would this be possible?
2. Would it be possible to hook this up to the World Browser Tools? This would allow us to arrange out voxel terrain to fit our worlds needs as well as layout.
3. Support Biome Generation at runtime both via blueprint and C++.
4. Support AI navigation with cubiquity.
5. Support network replication via blueprint and C++.
6. Support for Optional Destruction of terrain at runtime.

Thank you for your time,
