Intro to Voxel Chunking in Godot (w. Threads) | tutorial | voxel terrain
Loading a huge terrain when your game starts up, can easily make the loading time feel long and frustrating to the player.
Instead of loading everything before the player can start moving around in the game, we might consider loading while the player is engaging with the parts we have already loaded.
In this video we’ll be looking at how we can divide our voxel terrain into smaller chunks, which we can then load one at a time using multiple threads.
I’m currently using Godot 4.5 beta, but I’ll keep updating whenever a new version of Godot comes out.
During this series we will touch upon several interesting topics including procedural generation, profiling and optimizing, comparing solutions, multithreading and much more.
