I'm kinda sad that the whole voxel technology could not become mainstream. There were some really ambitious projects started in the 2010s like Voxel farm https://www.voxelfarm.com And people were speculating that the current technology of rendering triangles will be obsolete because voxels represent reality better. I'm a bit sad that we did not see the breakthrough, it would have been as large as the introduction of the GPU to accelerate rendering

Not mainstream but the game Teardown uses voxels, rendered on gpu, first screenspace , later voxel space:https://blog.voxagon.se/2018/10/17/from-screen-space-to-voxe... More recently Voxlands also renders its voxels entirely in gpu shaders using raytracing, beautiful: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2283580/Voxlands
