I highly recommend people check this out if you're interested in voxel graphics, or a simple way to make 3D graphics if you're artistically challenged like me. We used it to make a whole game and it was great: https://www.larvalabs.com/project/roadtrip Here are some other awesome things made with it: https://twitter.com/HuntingFluff/status/1046417418459975681 https://twitter.com/Sir_carma/status/1051867299303440384 A…

Why is it disappointing? Sorry, I really don't understand and would like to.
"disappointing: failing to fulfill someone's hopes or expectations." I think you're viewing it from the "expectations" side, while binarycrusader, pawelmurias, and I are viewing it from the "hope" side. If this were open source under a license that makes sense to us, I think all three of us were thinking we'd like to use the code to do other things. That's just a hope.
MagicaVoxel is great! Even though the program is not open source, the file format is documented by the creator [0]. For a small game I'm working on I read in the vox files and reconstruct the meshes in-game. I can then create procedurally destructed variations by tweaking the vox data and re-generating the meshes in-game [1] [0] https://github.com/ephtracy/voxel-model/blob/master/MagicaVo...

This is what every software should do. I don't care if software isn't free or open source, but file formats should be documented so that they can be read later or processed by other tools.

Did you do any post-processing on the models from MagicaVoxel before using the models in your game? E.g. does MagicaVoxel export a single optimised mesh, or does it export a load of cube meshes?
Please, creators, if you're reading this: Stop labeling things 8-bit that are in no way 8-bit except there are some big squares/cubes involved.
Gives you a good idea of what the app can do as well as how voxel modelling is different from traditional polygonal modeling like in Blender.

Closed source + anonymous source = recipe for malware. I recommend running this in a sandbox of some kind.
Looks cool! Is there a way to make the UI / fonts bigger on 4k monitors?
Few Questions: * Who's https://twitter.com/ephtracy ? Why did you create this? How are you using it this days? Are you making any games with this? * How do you produce images like this? [1] Is the Ray Tracer to do that built in or do you have to import the models in a second software? * What kind of support is there for the vox file format? (where/how to render outside the app). 1: http://ephtracy.github.io/image/sna…
