Great stuff Chipp!!

...but (for me) as long as I can..I think that the best and easiest way to create hard-surface things is with Moi.
Its Nurbs modelling tools are so powerful for that kind of stuff.

Anyway...As you said in one of your latest tutorial on your YouTube channel (that I'm following), Blender has a very bright future. Great product!

New version of 3D Coat : 4.8.20 ! ;)

Old Video!

3D-Coat is a piece of cake! :)
Only 6 years ago it would have been impossible to have a product like that (and under 400USD!!!)

Hi Metin,

Thanks for sharing. The guy who created Hard Ops works with me on the Alamo project and has been trying to get me to use it for some time. It's quite powerful. I want to get the basics out of the way first.

Here's helped me with Blender and I've helped him with Moi3d.

Sounds good, Chipp. Good luck exploring Blender, I love it.

Hi Pilou and all,

maybe interesting for you... It is possible to load .obj meshes into MagicalVoxel,
when converting .obj to .off and then use these two converters* from here:

http://dgtal.org/doc/tools/nightly/converters.html#converters

first run the .off file through mesh2vol and then through vol2vox.

However, in order to use these converters you need to compile the DGtal
library and also the DGtalTools.

Stefan

it's not more easy with Goxel?
http://guillaumechereau.github.io/goxel/

Magicavoxel-->Goxel

or even if you want only render you have the free Simlab Composer Lite (works with any 3D format files! :)
who has a Voxel function! :) (Maxi 1920*1040) (you can only save in proprietary format! )

Hi Pilou,

i don't know, can you import with Goxel .obj and export to MagicalVoxel?

Regards
Stefan

Seems yes for Magica Voxel :)
But I don't very well understand that you want to do in finality ?

The idea is that you can take any .obj convert it and load into Magical Voxel,
so that you don't have to model it in there... :-) Or to simply voxelize and
color a converted .obj file.

Regards
Stefan

But you can import an OBJ File directly inside Magica Voxel!
:)

I don't have this import button, hence that's why i wrote about the converters.

I downloaded version 0.99 and i can not see this in the Mac vers.... :-(

Stefan

O.k. according to a Twitter post, i can drag and drop an .obj file or image
to the canvas, but the resolution is then for the .obj much smaller than
how i did it with the converters...

Stefan
