When I finished reworking on my Octree module,

I found one problem.

When I was specifying the origin of the root at 0, 0, 0

and half size of length/2, height/2, width/2

and with a depth of 6

The world is divided into 2,

One is above the ground,

One is under the ground which I don't think I have a use.

So How do I get rid of the lower part of the root octree?

Do I just hard code it, or I can adjust the parameter so that I can start up

from the 0, height/2, 0 instead of 0, 0, 0?

Is this the correct way of doing it?

Thanks

So How do I get rid of the lower part of the root octree?

Just put the origin at a higher value (y=world.size.y/2).

Or ignore the problem. The empty nodes at the bottom probably don't take up a whole lot of space. Deal with it when you run into any problems with it (likely never).

I am looking back in my previous work in trees of voxels now.

They get flood-filled in shorter time.

The voxels are made of squares.

So now I want to group/merge part of it.

I am planning to prune a seed somewhere on the map, and start expanding out

Because the octree (loose tree) counterparts is so slow in cost precomputations.

I am looking into ways to use back voxel tree now

Does anyone know how to merge a tree of voxels in any better ways?

Thanks Mr. Spiro,

The Voxel approach does decrease the number of layers from 44 -> 15

Thanks
