<<< Texture support for import would be also a nice
feuture to have, but for a free app i can't complain.

Hello
In Magica Voxel you can Import an Image PNG 126*126 in Edit Mode so 126*126*1 inside MagicaVoxel
(only Drag&Drop : menu Import don't yet existing)
increase after import the general matrix following that you want
Larger scene area: (-1024, +1024)
Maximum matrix is : 512x512x512, 1024x512x256 or 1024x1024x128

As you can make one Multiple Drag&Drop image(s) you can have the same than above! ;)
Just find something who trim your original image in step 126*126 pixels on some png files ;)

After import image you can of course make some landform with some extrude following matrix aceptable

The OBJ export will report all this! ;)
Here after some extrude and increased the 126*126*1 matrix

Hi Pilou,

i'm aware of picture import, but as you can see in your example
the color palette in MagicaVoxel is very bad...

I was also refering to .obj import with color textures, which i have
not seen yet in MagicaVoxel.

>>Very bad ?
it was the exact reflect of the original picture! :)

I believe that you can import a palett with colors of your original image!
the original is only126*126! ;)

Hi Pilou,

yes, very bad, IMHO, because when i used a photo and made a small
picture it had false colors and only a few of them, after importing to
MagicalVoxel. But like you said, maybe there is an option for the
correct color palette import, which i have not found yet.

Regards
Stefan

you right if the max is 255 colors that is some limited!

Maybe we must import the palett of the image made specially for it!

Else it's palett work is funny! Shift + Alt from a color to another on a platell makes a gradient : by line or by diagonal!

Hi Fabien,

I fully understand your viewpoint, and the non-destructive workflow in C4D is definitely interesting.

Hi Pilou,

i figured out how to get correct colors from my previous image, in MagicaVoxel! :-)

Simply first drag and drop the image on the color palette, so that the color palette gets the
colors from your image and then drag and drop your image again in the voxel room. Not
hundert percent correct, because of 256 colors limit, but very good result for MagicaVoxel.

@Stefan

One more time that is magic and so simple!
I have find that i must make a little programm in Processing for make a PNG 256*1 from a palette given by a 2D Prog!
My neurons say thank you!

So many Thanks! :)

You're welcome, Pilou!

But i don't understand why you must make a little Processing program...

Regards
Stefan

@Stefan

Because I did't know the trick of drag&Drop image on the Palette!!!

Now no need to make the plugin! :)

Ah..., o.k. now i understand! :-)

Regards
Stefan

It's not so bad! :)
In any case a very good trick! Bravo!

Looking good, Pilou! :-)

Maybe it depends on the colors and voxel size used, but yours looks fine.

Stefan

Do you know a trimer image who create some files automatically
say i have an image 500*500 pixels
result wished will be this and of course in PNG

Max of 126*126 wished first

I have a normal Slicer, i search an "optimisation slicer" !
I have seen that for filling containers's boat, truck, cloth triming, wood, filling package... must be existing for image :)

Well, Photoshop can do this with it's "slice" tool and then you can save all
created slices at once, to have all the sliced pictures in one folder.

GIMP has also a Guillotine function, but i don't know if you can slice the same way
like Photoshop, which would allow you to do exactly what you are looking for.

Looks like that this slicer has also variable slices options...

Thx

the generic term is the "Bin Packing" for automatic optimisation of slicing...storage...
