Voxels

Voxels are tiny, three-dimensional building blocks that make up 3D images or models, similar to how pixels function in 2D images. Imagine a 3D grid where each small cube (voxel) holds specific information such as color, density, or material. When these voxels are combined, they create detailed digital representations of objects or environments, like medical scans, 3D movies, or virtual worlds. They are essential for capturing and analyzing complex 3D data, allowing computers to visualize, manipulate, and understand three-dimensional structures effectively.
