Creating Realistic Terrain in Magicavoxel

[@PointlessGamer_xD]

idk who came up with this idea but who ever did is F*cking genius lol thanks so much (edit by the way you can also go in and out of world mode with tab)

[@ArtChanny97]

Yeah I figured that out recently actually. Very helpful xD

[@empty_mirror]

This is really helpful, nice tutorial and thank you :)

[@Atomanti400]

I was looking for a way to programmatically create voxels.. thanks for the command tip, running shaders is a cool way. Appreciate it!

These are great tutorials dude. You should look into a denoise plugin for your mic. It would help you dramatically.

Hello, after the -xs height - command, what key should be pressed on the keyboard to perform the height?

[@dorothychen39]

Thank you for your tutorial that is so cool. But I wanna know any method instead of file transfer in Painter? Because I am MAC user 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thank you again, I love voxel art now.

[@sajadalizadeh1545]

I did all the steps you mentioned but it still does not work xs height . I downloaded Shader . but it still does not work. my computer mac pro macOS BIG SUR . Thank you for your help

u need to find this version. 99.6.2

[@victortorres-ev8so]

FUUUUUUUUUUCKING GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pyreon5203]

Got a question. Is the shader purely aesthetic, if i were to export this as a .vox file would it just be flat, or would it look like what the shader shows

[@BloodMoonCZ-ny7bk]

i have a problem, I need a landscape with tall mountains and cliffs but when I import the height map the landscape is by half shorter then it should be. How do i fix this? Or atleast is there any quick way to smooth something when you make it larger?

[@zhaoweixin]

That’s magic lol I’m just a humble beginner and that helps me a lot thanks

Hi I do all of steps but when I type xs hieght it does nothing am I have to do something else Or type anything Because you said I have to press command key but I didn't find any keywords can you Help me please?

Thanks alot. It works perfectly..

hey man great tutriols im having alot of fun with it now thanks to you. im having AN issue with render mode it wont load anything on the render screen but i can see my terrain in palettes 2 and 3 when in object mode. any advice on how to resolve this issue?

I get the following error on the terminal: ==== GL:Shader ==== ERROR: 0:39: 'f' : syntax error: syntax error [Error] failed to compile shader : .../MagicaVoxel-0.99.6.2-macos-10.15/shader/height.txt

[@inblackwhite549]

not working for me and i cant get txt dozument to drop in shader folder either

[@kirraluan7921]

I followed this tutorial to do everything, but it doesn't work until I change the heightmap as RGB mode in ps and then import it to mv. It's weird.

[@Miminaptime]

Thanks! The changing to RGB mode made it happen! but then I am on Mac OS lol XS height does not work... :(

[@Miminaptime]

update - I just had a friend completing XS height command and send the file back to me- when I open it on Mac the file is 12M but empty lol the struggle is real on OS devices.

[@MeiLong9x]

It work like magicccc

[@kit3417]

for mac OS users, saw ephtracy twitter and you just have to change 0.5f to 0.5 for the shader to work :)

[@chuckchai]

Life saver! Thank you!

[@haihoisua]

xs height does NOT work for new version of MagicaVoxel anymore. Could you be kind to fix that for newer version of MagicaVoxel?

xs height is doing nothing for me any suggestions ?

[@matteoandreoli2496]

[@35threev35]

Hey! Awesome tutorial. Quick question though, can this be done with any topographic map or does it have to be done through Worldpainter? For example if I had a map of Ecuador I wanted to convert into a landscape in Magicavoxel could it be done?

[@ArtChanny97]

yes, as long as you are able to save it as a heightmap (grayscale) and convert it to a png-24 file. I just used worldpainter if you wanted custom maps. TerrainParty should work as well. Goodluck!

[@35threev35]

@@ArtChanny97 Fantastic, thank you so much!

[@thepolygonpilgrimage]

Even after saving as a PNG I cannot drag and drop the height map in. Is there a step I've missed? Thanks!

[@ArtChanny97]

what version are you using?

[@afroozmojahednia8116]

@@ArtChanny97 same problem,I use version 99.6.4 😭

[@mihaelbriski7420]

would you maybe know why only a part of my landscape (succesfully) created with a height map renders only around 1/4 of it

[@ArtChanny97]

yes, in the render settings you'll see a "sparse" button toggled on for faster rending, turn this off so that the circle isn't filled.

[@NutyRiver]

Just subbed!

[@matteofavata7436]

Does anyone had problem with worldpainter? I have that error with java, nosense

[@โลกแคบ-ญ1ท]

when i drop my png it's tiny size how to fix it?

[@foogley]

Watch the video lmao

[@StarkRaveness]

Can this work with any terrain mapper? I tried using Atlas which creates a heightMap automatically from Google maps. It imports fine into MagicaVoxel, I placed the "height.txt" file into the shaders folder, ran the command "xs height" but nothing happened.

[@ArtChanny97]

are you using windows as your operating system? Several people have told me that the shaders and its functions do not work on mac os. Make sure you are on the greyscale pallet (2) for the height command to work, if that doesn't work, you could try to send me the png file of the heightmap and I'll take a further look.

[@StarkRaveness]

@@ArtChanny97 Yeah Im on a mac thats probably why. The mandelbulb doesnt work anymore either since I saved over my installed version. Might be an idea to compare the two scripts to see what the difference between the two would be, might offer some insight.

[@6096p1z]

how do I import height maps on mac since there’s no ms paint

[@xmorse]

You are screwed

[@turekmateusz]

i got few problems if someone can help even when i convert to png is upload in magica as a 1 voxel :) its macos maybe that ? thw png do look like yours black and white .png but still a 1 voxel size

[@turekmateusz]

Found a solution after saving png high res in world painter , open the file photoshop and safe as png24 as you make in another vid when you slice in 4 works on macOS

[@DrPix3l]

the command doesn't work even i take the good palette and increase height of my project

[@ArtChanny97]

are you using windows? I heard there were problems with MAC OS which I cannot solve. Also you downloaded the shaders from my google drive already right?
