One more question for you Kalith. Can you please explain me, which faces do you use when you calculate smooth - per vertex lighting?

Thanks
This is the part i am trying to optimize now. I recalculate frustrum every frame even if the camera doesn't move (pretty hardcore i know).
Here is how it works :
* i have an array of big chunks 16x128x16 blocks (data) + bbox
* then i make 8 mini chunks (16x16x16 blocks) from each big chunk (8 display lists) and calculate their bbox as well
Render loop :
* looping through array of big chunks and testing against frustum : if in frustum then check which one from 8 mini chunks are in frustum too and add them to render array
It looks like simple octree algorythm.

Saddly i don't have a website or blog for shoving my project. But i can share some screenshots. Sorry for the image quality. It's night here and i start to feel very sleepy.
About the project :
* currently there is a big bug after refactoring chunk class so the framerate is pretty bad
* working sliding collision
* working animated models
* sun & block lighting but only per face
* terrain and cave generator
* block placing, removing
* sky with sun (sunrise/sunset), moon, stars and clouds
* raining and snowing
And sorry if i spam your topic with pictures. I can delete them, or you can, after watching.
Yes and why i switched to java. Simple reason : portability, faster developing and flexible code. Who knows, maybe i port it back to c++ someday.

Oh thanks, i understand now perfectly. Well I work on a minecraft clone myself too. (first tried coding it in c++ but then moved to java and lwjgl). Maybe i can help you with my pearls of wisdom and knowledge somehow.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. So when i have a chunk 16x128x16 blocks (xyz) i need only 16x16 pixels lighting texture? And how this technique deals with sun light that enters a cave. When this is a 2D texture it can describe light brightness for one block per pixel.. sorry but i am little confused here. But this topic is very interesting for programmer like me.

Hi Kalith, can you tell me how this texture lighting works? Nice work btw .
