No idea how long that takes but there was some code floating round our forums at one point.

Yeah, I did think about the possibility of a bunch of Box Colliders, but I wonder if that would be viable for voxel volumes where there was likely to be frequent alterations made to the voxel data? Looking great though, can’t wait to play with it =)

The boxes are all Unity Box Colliders and the terrain is a Mesh Collider with something like 12,000 triangles as I recall. You can see a wire frame here: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BIusZM5CYAANrMW.png:orig

Eventually we should replace the Mesh Collider with a set of Box Colliders to approximate the shape, but that’s just an optimisation really.
