Always amazed by that! Excellent! Bravo for the try!

here with a Moi object! :)

I' sorry if I my sound a little bit rude...but, for me personally, computer generated graphic is absolutely NOT art, at all.

Even a monkey can press a button and let things happen (with all due respect to monkeys).

Art is just something else.

P.s.

For the sake of completeness, I mean "automatic computer generated art", that is every kind of digital contents not directly created by artists but merely created by mathematical algorithms written by developers and scientists.

That kind of content, for me, is absolutely NOT art.

Seems the ED's image is entierely controled by him...place, form, nature of type of filling...
he don't say its art, he said that is photo as background for some objects! ;)

Well, this Monkey example is used often. But I don't think a monkey could do that,
in the end people are needed to make these pictures and even more
important to evaluate them what no monkey and no software could do.

Besides, I find it difficult to say what is art and what is not nowadays.
Why not just stay open for new possibilities.

I think something like this can be used to visualize ideas? Or as a
template for a picture that is painted by yourself.

Who claimed it was art?

Next version of the free MagicaCSG will have Bezier Quadric and other funny things! :)

Yeah, looking forward to those splines. They will only have three curve manipulation points though. Hopefully that will be extended in a next version.

Thank you for your tip, Pilou.

Find MagicaCSG already a nice little gem.
But miss the grouping of strokes.

Here is my first attempt.

You can group strokes with layers in MagicaCSG, and the order of the strokes list is also important for different results (which strokes are affected by other strokes).

Thank you for the Info, Metin.
By the way I like the great examples you
made with MagicaCSG. Very well done.

In the meantime I found the "Select All" button.
With this button you can select all strokes of a layer.
I should have just opened my eyes ;-)

And this way I can now put parts of an object on a
separate layer and select them if I need that.

Many thanks for your compliment, much appreciated!

The next MagicaCSG version will introduce a number of UI / UX improvements. I hope it will be released soon.

Regards from the Netherlands,

Demo of the next version of MagicaCSG :)

Thanks Pilou!

What a wonderful software is MagicaVoxel!

• New Stroke Shapes: Quadratic Bezier (3-point), Oval (Cylinder), Star (Polygon)

Excellent!

And don't forget to put the plugin Denoiser for a speedy Render! https://github.com/ephtracy/ephtracy.github.io/releases/tag/0.01

Hi All

Made a funny little Vespa with MagicaCSG 0.0.1.
(in reminiscence of Mauro's Vespa tutorial :) )

I know Magica CSG 0.0.2 is out.
Already downloaded ;-)

Onctuous lines! Bravo!

Thank you Pilou :)

And let me also thank you for all your good tipps
you have shared over the years in this post.
