Abstract

An example of an information processing system updates voxel data based on information processing, and generates and updates a display mesh. In the information processing, the information processing system designates a cursor position based on an operation input. In the information processing, the information processing system, in response to a first instruction, generates a first voxel update range at a position, within the virtual space, corresponding to the cursor position, and decreases, in the voxel data, the density of each voxel corresponding to the first voxel update range in the virtual space. In the information processing, the information processing system, in response to a second instruction, generates a second voxel update range at a position, in the virtual space, corresponding to the cursor position, and increases, in the voxel data, the density of each voxel corresponding to the second voxel update range in the virtual space.

updating, based on information processing, voxel data which is defined in a virtual space and in which at least a density is set for each of a plurality of voxels, the density indicating a degree of occupation of a content in a space defined by the voxel;
generating and updating a display mesh that corresponds to the voxel data and is rendered based on a virtual camera, by determining vertex coordinates of the display mesh, based on at least the density included in the voxel data;
rendering the virtual space including the display mesh;
and
in the information processing,
designating a cursor position, based on an operation input,
in response to a first instruction based on an operation input, performing a first voxel update that includes generating a first voxel update range at a position, within the virtual space, corresponding to the cursor position, and decreasing, in the voxel data, the density of each voxel corresponding to the first voxel update range in the virtual space, and
in response to a second instruction based on an operation input, performing a second voxel update that includes generating a second voxel update range at a position, within the virtual space, corresponding to the cursor position, and increasing, in the voxel data, the density of each voxel corresponding to the second voxel update range in the virtual space.
