Voxel Engine

A voxel engine uses similar principles used by a Wireframe Engine. What is a voxel? A voxel is a combination of volume and pixel, a volume pixel. A voxel engine renders a voxel by translating the voxels three dimensional coordinate to a two dimensional screen coordinate. The voxel is drawn on the screen as either a circle, a box, or some other two dimensional figure that can be scaled.

Voxel engines are occaisionally used in conjunction with other engines. Jedi Knight is an excellent example of this. It used a voxel engine to render particles.
