Voxel

Definitions

1. A volumetric pixel — the three-dimensional analog of a 2D pixel — representing a value on a regular grid in 3D space, commonly used in medical imaging, scientific visualization, and voxel-based game engines like those behind Minecraft-style worlds.

   In plain English: A tiny 3D cube that acts like a building block for creating three-dimensional images or game worlds.

   Example: "Each voxel in the terrain chunk stores a material ID and density so we can generate smooth meshes with marching cubes."
