Back to ray tracing on the GPU in Avoyd:

I've now added the ability to use multiple storage buffers for the octree data to overcome the 2GB limit.

The approach is a little ungainly, requiring a switch statement to index the buffers, but it appears to only reduce performance by a few percent.

Work on 's GPU ray-casting going well. Here's Greenfield City with ray-cast and shadows.

Moving to path tracing soon.

Trees and grass should look less garish in future Avoyd Minecraft renders.
I've toned down the default leaf materials (oak_leaf, spruce_leaf etc) as well as grass to better match the blocks.

Quick video of our in progress work on edit masks in Editor. Here I've set the mask to the window material in order to delete only the windows.

We're adding Masks to 's Edit Tool to make it easier to selectively edit voxels.

They'll be useful for adding water, clouds or fog to worlds without overwriting what's already built.

Cleaned up the change tracking spreadsheet we use to manage our todo list:
- 1362 changes raised since we started using them in 2018
- 1066 implemented so far, 183 this year
- 296 to do
(Changes vary in scope and we don't always use them to track our work.)

Back to normal with atmosphere volumetric shadows and the sun _not_ under the landscape.

Decreased the atmosphere amount and didn't include atmosphere volumetric shadows.
The metallic reflections show well with these settings.

Since I'm doing some performance related refactoring of the path tracing code it's time!

@MouseByTheSea Sounds intriguing!

I'm frequently awed by these builds. The amount of detail is stunning. There's a huge community as well, with quite a few tools catering to them.

If you're considering doing a 2D game built from 3D pre-rendered assets then let us know if there's anything we can do with to help with that.
