Meaning and scope

Definition

Voxel modeling constructs 3D form by adding or removing small volume elements on a regular grid. It does not determine 2D pixel art, a particular game, materials, or lighting.

In more detail

Small cubic steps and gridlike outlines create three-dimensional volume. Voxel size, color, and density can be chosen separately. It is distinct from continuous surfaces and merely low-resolution imagery.
