3 Methods for Exporting MagicaVoxel Models into Blender - Prep for Rigging/Animating

[@MangoVoxel]

Comment any other tutorials you'd like to see!

Any characters I make using this extension don't retain their color once I import them into Mixamo and then from Mixamo to Unreal Engine 5. Any tips on how to keep textures/color on the model?

That .vox importer was a literal life saver. Weight painting was a *PAIN* with the obj format because of the vertices but because of the cubes the converter made, it made it extra easy to weight paint.

[@MangoVoxel]

Haha I'm glad I could help :)

Hi , Bro , I 'm from Russia and a novice developer , I accidentally stumbled upon your video and it helped me a lot , we have very few similar videos , thank you very much !!!

[@jimhawkns]

You saved me HOURS of work with that vox importer, you're the best!

[@fl444mingo]

Short, yet very informative. Just what I was hoping for, good video!

[@MangoVoxel]

Thank you! :)

[@possiblyzslot838]

Great tutorial! That Vox importer is insanely useful and the only way I get to keep the material IDs. Unfortunately Blender's "select interior faces" option doesn't seem to work properly, meaning there's no automatic way to optimise these models, and doing it by hand is just not feasible.

[@ulysesordaz4981]

Awesome video. You helped me with an issue where my animations would be half way in the ground. THANK YOU!!!!!

[@NogCube]

Thank you for making this great tutorial, keep up the great work, mate!

In blender 3.6 there is no option to enable testing plugin. There are possible workarounds with editing .py file directly, but with no success so far.

Hi. The add-on is not visible on my Blender v3 and v2.93's Testing tab after I install and even refresh. Can you help here?..

[@MangoVoxel]

Could you make a reddit post with further details and screenshots of your problem? I will try my best to help.

[@rahayousefi4816]

How is it going 🤔😁 i just exported an obj file from magicavoxel but i want to change some parts of it when i drag it to magica it's completely gray🙄 can you help me with that i drag the colors of the obj file to magica's index colors were back but it's still gray😱🤨 no objects were open even

[@bider3588]

HELLLLP. Does this work for larger models?? because I'm tring to export and the scale is so big that it crashes my blender! Is there any way to decrease the scale of my voxel object without losing quality??

[@martinhusson4209]

is the voxel keep his materials with the 3rd method ? because i want to make lightning effect on blender but when i import the model , the light reflection isn't the same :(

[@MangoVoxel]

I'm not totally sure to be honest, you could try joining either the MVC or the Blender Discord

[@gabrymost0112]

What about the voxel materials I set in Magicavoxel? Will they be exported as well?

[@MangoVoxel]

nope - unfortunately the materials and render settings are locked within magicavoxel. Once you export it will resort back to diffuse.

[@ipokiller2g940]

This is a stupid question, does this help with the uv wrap material if im going to import it into unity?

[@uhohwhy]

vox importer does not work on new blender versions

[@tanishnani2003]

LOL "The origin is right between the legs" 5:45

[@ThePradoAlfa]

Everytime that I import the .Vox file, my blender crashes

[@TheMerchant3773]

is there a way to center the model in magica voxel?

[@MangoVoxel]

center the camera around the model?

[@TheMerchant3773]

@@MangoVoxel no like center the model in the middle of the model building area

[@MangoVoxel]

in the newest update (0.99.7.0) you can set the object’s postion in the world view

[@TheMerchant3773]

@@MangoVoxel Awsome! thanks dude.

@@MangoVoxel :(( i made a mistake....that isn't the folder that i mentioned, i meant the folder which usually locate in C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 2.93\2.93\scripts\addons\io_scene_(maybe voxel) if you installed.

[@tebeoteleo]

@@hiepphamhuynh7211 i have the same problem, maybe is the blender version.

[@jakkaj]

impossible for me import with .vox pluging , nothing work

[@MangoVoxel]

Would you be able to elaborate on the problem? I can try my best to help :)

[@reagoated]

merging vertices does not get rid of unnecessary vertices

[@possiblyzslot838]

It gets rid of a lot of vertices as you can see at the bottom of the screen when you do so, however every interior face will remain, so I'm guessing it only gets rid of duplicate faces.

[@bobjoe1343]

which is the "correct file"? Is it the voxel??? no right??? which one?!?!?!?!

[@HarryMcKenzieTV]

It's not exporting into Blender. The wording is incorrect. It should be Importing into Blender
