[@seasonedveteran488]

Those characters in the back look awesome. You did a good job on them.

Happy days....found this from a KZbin recommendation, Found magicavoxel a few days back by accident and currently having a blast. Feel like a big kid with grownups lego lol. Subbed for more tips

[@leemee7538]

Only just started playing around with this. It’s a lot of fun. Thanks for the blender tie in. Now even more hours lost.

[@Ratborger1]

4:26 Followed the steps and once i copy rigid body setting blender crashes every time. is it me?

[@dancole3187]

A nice one. I enjoy your videos. Thank you!

[@ektelion]

Thank you so much for this! Importing an .obj file into blender messes up the geometry, so this add-on is a godsend! I should note that I have imported a very simple model (just a head really) which I had exported using MagicaVoxel 0.99.4 alpha and it worked just fine. I had previously tried to import a vox file using version 0.98.2, but Blender froze. After some trial and error, I realized that for some reason Blender didn't like the fact that I had exported the vox file onto the Desktop. After I exported it to the rood directory of another drive that I have installed in my PC, it worked great! UPDATE: OK, I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the folder you're trying to import from. I tried importing the vox file exported from the latest MV version to Blender from the folder were I usually save that stuff and nothing happened. But when I try to import from the root directory of my second hard drive, it works fine.

When I install the voxel add on, where do I find the add on to actually check the box so the add on is actually added? I can't find the file on community, official or testing, even after refreshing? When I look up vox nothing happens either. Am I doing something wrong? please help.

[@wenyizhang9917]

Great tutorial. Something need to be mentioned: if you have some trouble import with latest blender version, please make sure you exported the vox file from MagicalVoxel instead of import the original vox you created to blender.

[@StevenScott_studio53]

Great tip!

[@CharlesAce]

I download the io_scene_vox.py file and installed it and it does not show as an add on in either Blender 2.92 or 2.80. What Am I doing wrong?

[@DrPix3l]

it doesn't work anymore from the README of the addon. **Note**: currently this add-on does not support all the features of vox files created with MagicaVoxel 0.99 and above. If this is the version of MagicaVoxel you are using, you will need to export your file to the older 0.98 format before import.

I'm looking for the therapeutic experience myself lol. Recommend any voxel software for ipad?

[@juezna]

is it possible to import by materials? so that one can have diffetent chunks of a mesh instead of lots of tiny boxes?

[@neritistic2250]

what version

[@mikey3d912]

How to generate into 10000?

[@angelrubiov]

This helped me quite a bit!

[@nullrox]

Sucks that the addon doesn't work with the new MV or Blender versions :/

[@RomboutVersluijs]

What that looks cool!

[@brianlewis4718]

I tried this on 3.4, 3.6, and 4.0 and it did not work. Will report back after testing with 2.8. Used older version of mgv and the correct import add on was installed. Also, thanks for demonstrating how smoothly it should work. Really was giving up hope at this point.

[@StevenScott_studio53]

hmm ill test it again, this video is 3 years old

[@brianlewis4718]

@@StevenScott_studio53 If you can get it to work please let me know. This would make my work so much easier.

[@PointlessGamer_xD]

This is so sick thanks so much

[@tirthv6746]

is there any way to remove all the interior faces in the model?

[@TxcGren]

in magica voxel there is a "hull" option in the modify tab where it will delete all non visible voxels

[@artkiko4460]

Hi! do you know if i can make a volume from CT image scan pngs? thanks.

[@StevenScott_studio53]

not sure mate, you can turn most pngs into a volume, but it might not be accurate

[@artkiko4460]

@@StevenScott_studio53 ok, thank you very much.

DOESNT WORK

[@CoolJakarta]

I tried to install magicavoxel but i got a virus warning from it. Can anyone confirm if thats legit 🤔

[@jonassandstedt]

install it from the official github page and you should be good to go. It's probably not signed though, that's why you get the warning.

[@gamingmitkeks1550]

i didnt got a warning its legit

[@myxz8565]

lol ... I use magicaVoxel so many times

[@alvololoalloopkskunktheobj4506]

Wrong

[@StevenScott_studio53]

what's wrong, can you be a little more descriptive?

[@ryanranney4654]

@@StevenScott_studio53 The addon doesn't seem to work with the most up to date versions of MV and Blender. Unless you've found a workaround?
