Interactive Voxels Rendering

Installation

Install the package as follows:

install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("javierluraschi/voxels")

Getting Started

You can easily launch a voxel explorer and editor,

voxels::voxels()

pass your own 3D matrix to render voxels from it,

voxels::voxels(array(c(
    0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1,
    0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1,
    0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1,
    0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1,
    0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1,
    1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
    1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
    1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
    1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
    1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
), dim=c(19, 5, 2)), offset = c(-10, 0, 0))

or use many interesting R packages to perform interactive visualizations. For instance, we can add some perlin noise to simulate terrain generation:

library(magrittr)
set.seed(123245)

ceiling(ambient::noise_perlin(c(20, 6, 20)) * 10) %>%
  voxels::voxels(offset = c(-20, 0, -20))

Please note that this package is still under-development!
