      sure, so Meg, can you like make a small tutorial designing something simple with voxels, like a small building, city or anything for that matter. just want to see the workflow using Majcavoxel. it doesn't have to be something complex, will progress later hopefully :)

    • @MegWayne
      @MegWayne  5 років тому +1

      I'm kinda showing this in the Neon City one. I don't have a specific workflow, although the world aspect to move objects around is draaaastically easier, it's the first time I build something since the release. But it's very much like going in there and just start making things. I'll think about being more progress based in the next one, if I have another project coming with MagicaVoxel.

      I probably won’t :(
      It was fun to play around with but the fact that it’s more of a playground tool rather than a professional one makes it a bit wasteful to spend any more time on. (Yet obviously super impressive coming from one single developer)
      I’m more likely to cover C4D in the future.

  • @stevezpj

    Great video. I would love to have a "hide selected voxels" feature in MagicaVoxel as I like to model the outside of a building and then go back and do the inside (at least, this is what I would do if I was using something like 3DS Max) but, like your tip on when to texture, in MagicaVoxel you would have to delete voxels to reach the inside again.
    Right now I am getting around it by using CTRL-X to remove them and hoping I don't need to copy anything inside the building because I then bring the voxels back with CTRL-V :D from now on, though I am going to have to model the insides before doing the full outside of the buildings.

    • @MegWayne
      @MegWayne  5 років тому +2

      I know that's definitely missing. At the same time, it's one developer so I feel like it's massively amazing already. It might come out in future releases though.
      I guess it can be hacked by having a part of the building being a different object, so that you can move it and "so back inside".
      Or even better, if the building is symmetrical, only build half and duplicate rotate. #thelazycrew

    • @stevezpj
      @stevezpj 5 років тому +1

      ​@@MegWayne I agree that the developer has done an amazing job so far. Currently I am creating a load of duplicate objects on different layers, hollowing out some buildings to concentrate on the inside, leaving the outside on different objects.
      I'm very new to the software so a little confused by the world editor interface, though. Finding it a little fiddly but I should really just watch a load of tutorial videos rather than trying to work it all out through messing around :)

    • @unarei
      @unarei 5 років тому +2

      You can use a separate layer for interiors and then you can hide the building walls and work on the interior without risking losing the walls.

      I don't think there's an app for iOS/iPadOS so unless you used it as a secondary screen for a macOS device (not sure how/if it would work well though) I think it's better to stick with a computer.

    • @MegWayne
      @MegWayne  4 роки тому +1

      I don't really have tips on that honestly, it's really trial and error :/ It's unlikely that I'll be doing more MagicaVoxel work in the future since it's not really work appropriate. So C4D is more likely. It's a great tool for illustrative work though.
