Imagine, a snowlandscape where you are in, the northpole, everything is snow, snow masses. The ''sandbox'' feature: Being able to manipulate these snow masses and shape all kinds of things out of it. A simple tactic to manipulate that landscape with an avatar would be ''sucking'' and ''spitting''. You can ''suck'' snow into your mouth and spit it out again. Objective: building cities (and having snowbal fights)Question: Is it possible? A possible solution, or how such a map could be build, a 3d cube divided into very tiny cubes all next to eachother. Those little cubes, almost invisible for the eye, like a pixel, have two possible states, ''on'' or ''off'', eather visible, the mass is visible, the snow is there or ''off'', no snow, empty, air. Who has more information on this? Is this possible to implement and how would you do it? Anyone seen something before that looks like this? Anyone able to realize this?
