Question by Spiderbean · May 07, 2014 at 05:15 PM · terrainmeshvoxeldeformationmarching cubes

Marching Cubes terrain deformation problem

Hello Guys,

I am trying to follow this thread a bit and you guys have been a great help. I am at the moment developing a marching cubes terrain. I started off with a normal Voxel Minecraft terrain, which worked out perfecly well. It is hard for me to read through the entire thread, so I thought I would post my problem: My terrain engine is supposed to help edit chunks, which worked perfectly well on my blocky version of it. Although now if I click often nothing happens and the chunks appear to be edited only sometimes(only if the colliders have a certain shape). I've tried everything I could think of. Subtracting the hit.normal didnt work. Tell me if you need more scripts.

I started debugging and using all sorts of normals and other stuff to correct the raycasting. It just doesn´t work! Here I use the Debug.DrawLine . You can clearly see that the $$anonymous$$athf.FloorToInt works(in order to get 3D array index). But it still randomly not work there.

Do you think you can make that 2d?

Not quite an answer but a tip. Lynda has a great marching cubes tutorial and implementation in this course. Its chapter 5, I believe.

Not quite sure on your Generation Files but i can give you a hint. Check to make sure you are using a "Mesh Collider" not a Box collider on your prefab and when you do the raycasting make it find the block attached to the mesh collider. Its possible you are missing the box collider because some of the faces may have been occulled.
