Voxels Glossary

[acs]

Learning Voxels domain introduces several words and concepts that must be known in order to understand the domain. Let's try to find or build a glossary with them.

Cool, the MagicaVoxel community already has one:

Let's collaborate with them if there are gaps to be filled. Hmmm, it is pretty limited. Let's continue with the idea of creating one here. The above one is a generic tool in all wikis in Fadom.

http://www.ericchadwick.com/portfolio/glossary/ has a specific section for voxels samples: http://www.ericchadwick.com/portfolio/glossary/examples/voxels.html

The Blender glossay is pretty interesting also: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/glossary/index.html
