The color palette

[@aghanloo]

Really enjoyed learning these tutorials, the speed of learning and communication style is perfect for beginners.

[@PedroCasavecchia]

Thank you, Brian! I'm happy you are having a good time (:

this tutorial is really amazing!!! it's the first time i know how to "use random color", "steal color" in magica voxel! Thanks a million!!

I didn't realise that only the colour changes when you switch palettes that's interesting Edit {Will watch the rest in the morning sure it's gonna be great as always!}

[@PedroCasavecchia]

Nice one! Yes. It can be a bit confusing!

[@ArinJager1]

think of it as lego pieces (at least that's what I do) ^^

[@ehsandadvar5831]

Amazing

[@PedroCasavecchia]

Thanks, my dude. Hope it helps you!

[@ArinJager1]

should have mentioned that these "colors" are numbered, or "indexed" - number (#) 1 is the bottom left corner, and it goes up to #255 in the top right corner... (too bad the palette size can't be bigger, like at least 512 colors would be great, 256 is a bit limited - that's basically an 8-bit color palette akin to NES... or custom palette sizes... 256, 512, 1024,... and so on... but I guess there's a reason why it's the way it is - I'm no programmer, so, I can't tell) I like to think about the "colors" on the palette (or rather more accurately: the materials) as bowls or boxes of sorted (by color) lego bricks, because that's basically what it is - you select a numbered slot or "color" and that's the cubes you're putting or placing down (unlike lego, you only have a one size and shape: a 1x1x1 cube, obviously, but: the amount is unlimited, virtually infinite) the saved palette is an image with "resolution" or size (in pixels) "256x1" - a long "noodle" of an image, you can edit it externally (like in MS Paint) and it'll apply to the palette once you (up)load it into the program (it's a png file, btw) (look, I'm not trying to "teach an eagle to fly", mister teacher man, just saying) ;)

[@PedroCasavecchia]

Hey! Good analogies. Thanks for your comment. Yes, you are right. There are 255 colours and each one has a number. Sometimes I try not to go too deep into some concepts that might not be too relevant for people that just want to get creating something on voxels quickly. In fact you can see the number of each material/colour cell in the console as you hover your mouse over any of them. The mysterious part to me is why that last 256 cell is blocked. It could have just one more colour. Not a big deal anyway. Cheers!

[@robrau9634]

@@PedroCasavecchia : I can't be 100% sure why the last color is blocked, but as a programmer who works with voxels, I have a pretty good guess. . . In my own programs, I also have 1 Byte set up for materials, for each voxel (meaning 256 material possibilities). But, like Magica, I also have only 255 actual materials, not 256. Why? Because that extra material slot represents empty space. Although, for my purposes, Material 0 is empty space. BTW, thanks for making all the cool videos! They've been very useful for learning Magicavoxel.

[@PedroCasavecchia]

@@robrau9634 Thank you for watching and for your insight on the mysterious empty material.

[@JaneXemylixa]

@@PedroCasavecchia Color 0 is indeed empty voxels - if you set a color index in a shader as 0, this element will be empty space

[@JaneXemylixa]

I only wish MV allowed you to save preferences. I'm sick of Ctrl+ ing the UI every time I open it

[@PedroCasavecchia]

You could potentially save a blank scene with all your presets and open that instead of opening the .exe file (:

Hey! All the background music is from the youtube library. You should be able to access that for free from the youtube studio - sound library (:

[@mauriciocortespersonal]

geniales los tutoriales gracias :) una pregunta... hay alguna forma de saber cuántos voxels hay de cierto color? Por ejemplo, con la herramienta "Region Select [N]" se seleccionan todos los voxels de un mismo color, y la consola indica el index del color seleccionado, pero no indica cuántos voxels hay seleccionados... ¿hay alguna herramienta para saber esto?

[@PedroCasavecchia]

Si, pero tenés que bajate la versión "debug" del programa. Cuando tenés el modelo abierto podes correr un comando en la barra negra de abajo. Te lo busco y te digo

[@mauriciocortespersonal]

@@PedroCasavecchia gracias... seria útil a la hora de crear plantillas para saber cuantos bloques de cada pieza se necesitan... :)

[@PedroCasavecchia]

@@mauriciocortespersonal Bueno. Basicamente, como te dije tenes que bajarte la version Debug de magicavoxel. Despues cuando abris el programa y tenes listo tu modelo, escribis log (En minuscula) en la barra negra de comandos. Eso te va generar una lista en una ventana aparte que te va a decir cuantos voxels de cada color tenes. Ojala que te sirva!

[@ian-ian27]

when i try coloring a model, it just deletes the voxel.

[@PedroCasavecchia]

Make sure you are in paint mode and not erase! Good luck
