http://gamasutra.com (Game Developer Magazine) is always my favorite place to just "browse" for misc articles. Usually, I'll go there looking for something specific, and stumble on a completely different and unrelated article that catches my interest.

"Oh hey, an article on pixel shaders, I always wondered how those worked."

or

"cell shading, now thats something that adds a stylish look- lets read that first".

Articles by Paul Steed (id Software modeller) really helped me out with Varium. Although the Gamasutra site may not give you specific info and how-tos, they pointed me to other resources, like Pauls Steeds now defunct "Thinking Outside the Box" articles at the equally defunct http://www.loonygames.com/content/archives/

http://www.flipcode.com is another interesting place to just "browse". Gamasutra has a better search engine built in, so its usually the first place I go.

Sorry this response is so broad, but without knowing specifically what you are looking for its kind of hard to just make a list of resources. (just general info of what Voxel is?) Its kind of like saying, "I am looking for a few good articles on poloygon-based maps"

Ok then, I am looking for articles with source code on how to program a voxel terrain engine. The area of voxels is not very large, but id like to see a bit of code so I can get a better understanding of it. I have searched gamasutra and gamedev.net and found a few articles, but no real "How-To's". As for polygon maps I could have pointed you to some good sites, I love 3d graphics/art :) .

Can't give you any source code though. :)
BTW, this is not PPC, but Symbian (7650, to be exact).
