Actually, voxels are cool.

Minecraft blocks are polygons.

The Blade Runner game did some completely insane stuff with voxels although it's not easy to run now.

""When we told Intel that we were doing a 640x480, 65,000 color game that emulates true color, with a 16-bit Z-buffer and six channel CD-quality audio, they said you can't—the PCI bus can't support it...we hadn't even mentioned the 750,000 polygons for the characters yet.""

goldeneye 007 and quake 2 came out that year

this game wasn't using any hardware acceleration though

compare:
highest settings software mode could go in quake 2

blade runner main character (ingame)

it used prerendered backgrounds of really good quality and combined them with it so it's really pretty in screenshots but not so pretty ingame, and the animations are atrocious, but dang look at that quality on nothing but cpu

I like learning about stuff like that but it's rare that I ever get to use it.

It was more of a post about Blade Runner PC though.

"Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 and Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge are computer games made by Westwood Studios that used voxels to render most vehicles."

People are hating on voxels, huh?

Outcast had a really impressive voxel engine too, down to leaving 3D footprints. It was also the only game I know of that could do texture filtering in software, whereas all other games at the time were pixellated in sw mode like Quake and HL. The whole engine was ridiculous, with real-time depth of field, bump mapped reflective water, 3D volume lighting and particles. Crazy lush visual stuff for 1999.
