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.

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.

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

Mac users are always unlucky! :)


after direct import inside Magica Voxel (some speedy little paint for example and Cylinder as "modules" )

So the best worflow is import OBJ to Magica Voxel (very speedy) then use the Simlab Lite for a more elaborated rendering!
(because the Simlab Voxelisation directly (some posts above) is some painful - i discourage that! )

MeshMixer or Rocket3F MeshLab or your favorite 3D Package for the OBJ repair...

I just thought to mention that ZBrush can also convert meshes to a voxelized representation.



Use Tool ➔ Subtool ➔ Remesh All, or Tool ➔ Unified Skin to voxelize meshes. Turn down Polish / Smooth to 0. Remesh All has more options, and creates a new subtool, while Unified Skin creates a new tool you have to activate.

Yes but it's not the same price! :)

Blender is also a challenger! :)

Yes, I almost forgot. You can simply use the Remesh modifier in Blender as well. :)

Seems OBJ format Magica Voxel keep color painted inside at the exportation
but these colors are not affectable separatly in a render Engine!

here the file created at the exportation without background obj +mlt+png (of Magica Palett colors - not background)

must create a file with separated colors - for address some different materials : any idea ?
I miss some inspiration now! :)

Hi Metin,

thanks for the tip with ZBrush. I just converted the dog asset and do with it something in MoI.
It takes a while until it is finished, but i hope the end result will look nice.

Hi all,

here is something funny... The first time i use the word penis, in combination with 3D. The penis
gives me non-manifold geometry in my dog model, which i'm currently working on. So i have
to make a female dog... :-D

Very conceptual! :)

Thank you Pilou! :-)

and here is the final model. Renderings will follow on a later date.

Stefan

...and a rendering. Hope you like!

For the little story : all the animation, modeling etc is made with ArchiCad + GDL language! (not by me! )
