}}Voxel Space was a voxel raster graphics rendering engine invented by Novalogic developer and vice-president of technology, Kyle Freeman.[1][2] The company was issued a patent for the technology in early 2000.[3][4]

History

The original Voxel Space engine was patented in 1996, and first released in software in the 1992 release Comanche: Maximum Overkill. The engine was then revamped into Voxel Space 2 (which supports the use of polygons as well as voxels, and was used in Comanche 3 and Armored Fist 2),[5] and later Voxel Space 32 and used in Armored Fist 3 and Delta Force 2.

Based on Kyle Freeman's experience with voxels in medical-imaging technologies used in CT scan[6] and MRI scanners, similar technology was used in games such as Outcast. With the advance of computation power in modern computers there do exist browser-based versions of similar technology based on the Voxel Space terrain rendering used in Comanche.[7]

The version of the engine used in the Comanche series utilized ray-tracing every pixel of the volumetric terrain data.{{cn|date=January 2019}}

Versions

  • Voxel Space 2:
  • Voxel Space 32: 32-bit rendering, 16 million color support, 360 degrees of transformation.[8]

List of games

The technology was used in a number of commercial game titles.[9]

  • Comanche
  • Delta Force
