VoxelData Structure +**File**: `VoxelData.cs` + +A lightweight data structure representing individual voxels: +- **Density** (Half/fp16): 0.0 = empty, 1.0 = solid, values between for smooth terrain +- **Material ID** (ushort): Identifies the voxel material type (0 = air, 1+ = materials) +- **Flags** (ushort): Bitfield for extended properties (bit 0 = IsSmooth flag) + +**Design Decision**: Using `Half` (fp16) for density balances precision with memory efficiency. A 32³ chunk uses ~68KB for density alone with fp16 vs ~128KB with fp32. + +### 2. ChunkData Class +**File**: `ChunkData.cs` + +Manages a 3D grid of voxels with spatial organization: +- **Chunk Coordinates**: Integer 3D position in chunk space +- **Voxel Storage**: Flat array indexed as `x + y * ChunkSize + z * ChunkSize²` +- **Mesh References**: Links to Unity MeshFilter, MeshCollider, and generated Mesh +- **Dirty Flag**: Tracks when chunk needs remeshing + +**Design Decision**: Default chunk size is 32³ voxels (32,768 voxels per chunk). This balances: +- Memory usage (~134KB per chunk with full data) +- Meshing granularity for performance +- Culling efficiency +- Common in voxel engines (Minecraft uses 16³, many modern engines use 32³) + +**Indexing Helper**: +- `GetIndex(x, y, z)` converts 3D coordinates to flat array index +- `GetCoordinates(index)` converts flat index back to 3D coordinates +- `IsValidCoordinate(x, y, z)` bounds checking + +### 3. Meshing System +**Files**: `IMeshingJob.cs`, `GreedyMeshingJob.cs`, `MarchingCubesJob.cs` + +Interface-based meshing system supporting multiple algorithms: + +#### IMeshingJob Interface +Defines contract for meshing implementations: +- `Schedule()` method returns `JobHandle` for async execution +- Works with `NativeArray` for thread-safe access +- Outputs to `MeshData` structure (vertices, triangles, normals, UVs) + +#### GreedyMeshingJob (Blocky Voxels) +**Algorithm**: Face culling approach +- Only generates faces exposed to air +- Each solid, non-smooth voxel gets up to 6 faces +- Uses Unity Jobs + Burst compilation for performance +- **Future Enhancement**: True greedy meshing to merge adjacent faces + +**Design Decision**: Starting with simple face culling provides correct results and good performance. True greedy meshing can be added later without changing the interface. + +#### MarchingCubesJob (Smooth Terrain) +**Algorithm**: Marching Cubes for smooth surfaces +- Processes each cube in the voxel grid +- Generates triangles based on density field +- Configurable iso-level (default 0.5) +- Uses Unity Jobs + Burst compilation + +**Design Decision**: Marching Cubes is the industry standard for smooth voxel terrain. While the current implementation includes simplified lookup tables, it demonstrates the approach and can be expanded with full tables. + +**Alternative Considered**: Dual Contouring provides better sharp feature preservation but is more complex. MC is sufficient for initial implementation. + +### 4. ChunkManager +**File**: `ChunkManager.cs` + +Orchestrates chunk lifecycle and mesh generation: +- **Chunk Dictionary**: Spatial hash of loaded chunks +- **Meshing Queue**: FIFO queue for chunks needing remeshing +- **Job Scheduling**: Manages one meshing job at a time (can be parallelized later) +- **Mesh Assignment**: Links generated meshes to Unity components + +**Design Decision**: Sequential job processing (one chunk at a time) simplifies initial implementation. The architecture supports parallel processing - just replace single `JobHandle` with `NativeList`. + +**Coordinate Conversion**: +- `WorldToChunkCoordinates()`: Global voxel position → chunk coordinates +- `WorldToLocalCoordinates()`: Global position → local position within chunk + +## Performance Characteristics + +### Memory Usage (per 32³ chunk) +- VoxelData array: ~131KB (32,768 voxels × 4 bytes each) +- Generated mesh: Varies (blocky: ~100KB typical, smooth: ~200KB typical) +- Total: ~250-350KB per chunk + +### Threading Model +- **Main Thread**: ChunkManager.Update() checks job completion, assigns meshes +- **Job Thread**: All meshing computation (Burst-compiled) +- **No locks needed**: Jobs use NativeArray for thread-safe data access + +### Scalability +Current implementation targets: +- 10-50 active chunks in view (320K-1.6M voxels) +- 1-2 chunks meshed per frame (60 FPS) +- Can be improved with: + - Parallel job execution + - LOD system (different chunk sizes at distance) + - Chunk streaming (load/unload based on camera) + +## Extensibility Points + +### 1. Additional Meshing Algorithms +Implement `IMeshingJob` interface: +```csharp +public class CustomMesher : IMeshingJob +{ + public JobHandle Schedule(NativeArray voxelData, + int chunkSize, + ref MeshData meshData) + { + // Custom algorithm + } +} +``` + +### 2. LOD System +- Add `ChunkLOD` class with multiple mesh resolutions +- Modify `ChunkManager` to select LOD based on distance +- Use different chunk sizes (16³, 32³, 64³) + +### 3. Streaming System +- Add `ChunkStreamer` component +- Load/unload chunks based on camera position +- Save/load chunk data to disk + +### 4. Voxel Editing +- `ChunkManager.SetVoxel()` already supports editing +- Add undo/redo by storing delta operations +- Multi-voxel operations (fill, copy, paste) + +### 5. Material System +- Expand `materialId` to index into material database +- Add texture arrays for material rendering +- Implement material blending for smooth terrain + +## Integration with Existing System + +The core voxel system is **additive** to the existing `VoxelEntity` system: +- Old system: GameObject-based, per-face rendering, editor-friendly +- New system: Data-oriented, chunk-based, runtime-optimized +- Both can coexist: Use `VoxelEntity` for small, detailed objects; use Core for large terrain + +Future work could integrate them by having `VoxelEntity` use `ChunkManager` internally. + +## Build Requirements + +### Unity Packages Required +- **Unity.Burst** (1.8.12+): For high-performance job compilation +- **Unity.Mathematics** (included): For math types (float3, int3, half) +- **Unity.Collections** (included): For NativeArray, NativeList + +### Assembly Definition +The system is part of the `FiveSQD.StraightFour` assembly and has access to: +- Unity.Burst +- Unity.Jobs +- Unity.Collections +- Unity.Mathematics + +### Burst Compilation +All job structs are marked with `[BurstCompile]` attribute.
