I doubt you can do it at all with AI yet. Everything I've seen of AI trying to do actual 3D models has been absolutely unusable trash in game engines. Which is fine by me, I have fun doing this. AI can wash my dishes instead.

There’s no direct way to get GLTF files into VoxEdit. You could extract meshes through Blender, export to OBJ, and voxelize the meshes to VOX format in MagicaVoxel, and assemble the VOX in VoxEdit but you’d need to reconstruct the rigging, animation, and color.

@@Voxelize thanks for your guide.

@@Voxelize Can you import a texture with the obj in magicavoxel or voxedit ? I see that the online Voxelizer page does it, but cant seem to find a option for this on the 2 mentioned programs .

You might want to update you’re video drivers or make sure that your browser is set to use GPU acceleration to to make sure the audio doesn’t desync. You could also try lowering the video playback resolution.

Sure, but the idea was to vary it so each side looks different when viewing from an angle.

@@Voxelize That's fair. However, since it's literally the same texture repeated there would only be variation near the edge. You would need to do variants of the middle tile to get noticeable changes.

@@cordellcarrier3 I think I’ll leave it as is.

Sorry I didn’t see this before. MagicaVoxel has had some updates since this was made. You might try pressing Tab to back up to the World Editor and delete the original cube. Drag the PNG into the empty space.

There’s lots of ways to create. I usually start with an idea and think about how big it needs to be in Sandbox scale (32 voxels to 1 meter). Then I’ll block out the shapes, refine the design, split it apart for rigging, and go from there. If you’re just starting I recommend checking out the templates and working on designs with a prebuilt rig so you learn how things connect.

There are templates for the human characters if you go to the "Template" tab on the welcome screen.

There is no scaling anymore. You can line up overlapping blocks of the same color and move them apart for the appearance of scaling, but it is limited and needs a lot more nodes.

yes

Right now transparency is only an option supported in the dashboard when setting an uploaded block. I go over that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqjWqmtnnJllnK8

This video is very old. VoxEdit now fully supports the MagicaVoxel "scene" type VOX format. Meaning you can have any number of objects in a MagicaVoxel file, open it with the VoxEdit Animator "import VOX" and it will generate a rig with all of the objects attached.

It’s automatically excluded when you upload. It’s only visible as a reference.

@@Voxelize it didn't work like that to me.

@@SilverSerpent did you unlock the template? That will mess it up.

lol you missed out on something didn't you?

@@Voxelize Am I missing out on Sandbox's single-digit player counts? Even Snoop Dogg's endorsement can't save a pile of crap like this.

​@@SuperAwesomeMovies You're probably just in a fresh instance. There's a 40 player cap per instance but there can be any number of instances. But why you so mad about it though?

​@@Voxelize Sandbox is an extremely curated game, that's not an actual game. You can do more in Minecraft, or Second Life which is like 20 years old, than you can in this. It's a virtual NFT store. That's pretty much it. They have a 40 user cap, because they don't have to worry about user caps. Need users to worry about user caps.

@@SuperAwesomeMovies the game is still in alpha... it's a UGC platform. Those 166K LANDs are going to be built out by the people who bought them. You frankly don't understand what you're looking at based on what you say.

U big mad bro?

​@@Voxelize Sandbox is pulling SINGLE DIGITS for player counts. C'mon, you can do better than shilling for a NFT dumpster.

@@SuperAwesomeMovies type /instances in the chat you goofball.

@@Voxelize As you mentioned in another comment, Sandbox has 40 "player" instance limits. A user cap that they don't really need to worry about in a "game" which features a few mini-games in the style of an unfinished Unity project, and oh boy, NFT monkeys. It's a virtual NFT store, not a user experience. Sandbox looks great as a niche Voxel "game" but Minecraft and Second Life are LIGHT YEARS ahead in user experience, functionality, gameplay, scalability, server caps, and pretty much everything.

@@SuperAwesomeMovies that's your incorrect opinion. I'm having too much fun and making too much money doing this to really care if you change your mind.

I ended up having to abandon this project because the Game Maker guidelines for size and detail came down while I was still working on this. We don’t recommend over 5000 faces and this one has something like 18 million.

@@Voxelize thanks for letting me know this..

Scaling is no longer supported in The Sandbox or VoxEdit.

@@Voxelize yes i know....please a video on how to do good looking smokes without the scale option....thank you

@@shayansep755 I'd simply keep smaller blocks of the same color overlapping and move them further apart as they go up to mimic the effect of scaling. With a shape as fluid as smoke you don't even have to keep them lined up straight, introduce some wiggle for more texture.

I’ll need to learn it first. It’s a very advanced subject and outside of what I usually work on. But I’ve seen the system has improved a lot recently.

@@Voxelize The templates are having nice Ik leg animations and I wonder how many are doing it. I can't wait to see the legs just stick to ground when we move the root 😂

The only tool I know of off the top of my head that supports taking textures from meshes and turning them into color voxels is Qubicle. If you buy through Steam it's an added DLC - a fairly expensive tool but useful if you need to do that sort of conversion a lot. It's last update was 2017 though, so beware there might not be a lot of support left for this tool.

When trying to connect to The Sandbox? That likely means cloudflare has blocked you. Best idea is to clear your browser cache and try again some other time.

🤣🤣

It’s not too late at all! The Sandbox is a whole creative ecosystem. “Launch” will be opening up the system for everyone to access. Anyone will be able to mint and sell assets for anyone to use while playing and making games. You don’t need LAND to build or share games, only to publish to the map with options for monetization and multiplayer. So building in the free gallery is a great way to practice and get attention for LAND owners looking for game architects to work with. Opportunities have only just barely started to open up. I plan on still being here in ten years.

He burned so the real ones can run...

Run free better me!

There’s no direct conversion from Blender to VoxEdit. You’ll have to export BLEND to OBJ and open in MagicaVoxel or Qubicle. Then export VOX and open in VoxEdit. I should this at about 3:45 I mention how there is an unused OBJ import menu, which still has not been developed.

@@Voxelize thank you very much for the quik answer 😊😊😊

There's no way to do this in VoxEdit right now. You can use MagicaVoxel for that though and open the VOX files from that in VoxEdit. I have a tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZTHlIanhd6rkNU

Congrats!

Depends on how you’re trying to do it. You can use the selection tool and the edit menu to copy and paste parts in the modeler. If you want to copy a rigged limb you can duplicated the node and movie it to the other side. Then duplicate the leg model and flip it, and attach that to the new node. Our Discord community is a great place to meet experienced Voxel creators.

I haven't tested it in a long time but I'm pretty sure you can just change the file extension from VXB (voxel backup) to VXM (voxel model) from your file browser, then try to open it in VoxEdit.

@@Voxelize thanks! I fixed it :D

Go to the settings (I think under the file menu) and switch to a different background color. The grid should appear correctly after that.

@@Voxelize yup it works, thanks man.
