Tell me if you go to my account or just on the code ?

From any OBJ format object just make a Drag & Drop on the MagicaVoxel Screen !
(take an empty or fully matrix (maxi 126 *126 *126 it will be remplaced by your object)

From the internal

Spheres as Cubes

2 objects for test because Matrix maxi is 126126126

So you must splite your big object! Here some Copy/ Paste/ Move

Result from somewhere whith the Stereographic Projection function (cool from 150° to 270°)

Edges can have a thickness & Colors!

Grid and Ground can have a thickness & Colors!

Vertex Function render can stretch on x,y,z axis

Russian Constructivists should use MagicaVoxel!

Again test of 2 objects

Some repetitions

Internal view

Sun, color background...

Spheres as Cubes

Transparency: the little cubes in the space are used as a trick when you import your object for automatically fix its position (so 8 little cubes) inside the Matrix! You can of course erase them before rendering!

From a model by diTOTO from 3DWareHouse Drag & Droped so very reduced!

Inside the beast!
[img:2vt28qfp]https://i.postimg.cc/JzFmg4Kv/garabit9.jpg[/img:2vt28qfp]

Amazing that can be done in 30 seconds modeling!

So clean...of course this use is not the classic use of Voxels Art!
As edges and grids can have colors & tchickness variations are infinite!

In the Swimming-pool! Render's tools are so easy! Choose a color diectly on the rendering screen (Alt + Click) and this color can become emmeter, glass, metal etc...

Speedy MagicaVoxel Workflow:

Draw any thing in few seconds...

Give a color and thickness (or not) to the edges, the grid, the ground, the background.....
A material with certain colours, from Glass to the colour of the faces for transparency, from Metal tyo Floor if ou want a reflection.

Explore the internal volume with a sterescopic Projection

About Speed Modeling in MagicaVoxel!

Create a simple and complex Pattern at the same time, save it. And with each new object, use it in ATtach mode (with Shift when you want to "cut" into the mass). Coupled with the "internal" matrix displacement (CTRL), it is extremely effective! (and 3 keys to remember, T, Shift, CTRL) for "short memories" like me, it's perfect! (and 0, 9 to turn the module)
And of course you can create a Pattern in a 2nd matrix and bring it back to the 1st one as you wish!

6 seconds modeling!

Some color effect if needing...

Volumes are drawn only with the little module on the right! (In positive or negative)
Mode aTtach (additive)
Negative = Shift Click for validate position
Module rotation 0 & 9

My Gallery Magica

Else complete tutorial for input any big reasonnable size of file .OBJ from SU or other 3D Packages!
(for Pc) I suppose that will be some similar for Mac!

Thanks to Patrick Min (BinVox - ViewVox) & Zarbuz (SchematicToVox)
for detail and h ere for the complete "Vox_package" (BinVox +ViewVox)

For SchematicToVox (works also for any image PNG 256 colors)

Put the .OBJ inside the folder of the "Vox_package"
If your folder Vox_package is on your DeskTop : Key "Logo Windows" + R and enter the following line (except Pilou of course
C:\Users\Pilou\Desktop\Vox_package\binvox.exe -d 768 loco.obj (maxi can be 1024 for the 768)

you will obtain an loco.binvox
Drag this loco.binvox on viewvox.exe for verify the result!

again Key "Logo Windows" + R and enter the following line (except Pilou of course
C:\Users\Pilou\Desktop\Vox_package\binvox.exe -t schematic loco.obj
you will obtain a loco.schematic

Inside the folder of SchematicToVox Key "Logo Windows" + R and enter the following line (except Pilou of course

C:\Users\Pilou\Desktop\SchematicToVox-v1.0\SchematicToVox.exe --i loco.schematic --o loco
you will obtain a loco.vox

Launch MagicaVoxel and Load loco.vox

That all

Have fun!

OBJ Loco Model T2-71 found on the Net - I don't know the author!

In ViewVox 5 millions of cubes

In MagicaVoxel : Each cubic matrix 126 * 126 * 126

Play with the render

pilou · 1 Dec 2018, 01:00

In BinVox

In Magica

A little more complex for validate the process
With a ZBrush object 1.4 millions cubes
Thx Patrick Min (Binvox), Zarbuz (SchematicToVox) and of course Ephtracy!

No Problem!

Can you set "pixel" the resolution? It would probably need to be in the region of 25 - 50 microns (real world) to cover most architectural eventualities.

@unknownuser said:

If you want to say "reduce the cube's size" to a pixel...
I must investigate for MagicaVoxel!
(i have seen some parameters in Binvox...so maybe...but not sure...

I know that 3DCoat makes that!
(cool videos by this guy!
For hard surfaces

and for architecture

pilou · 1 Dec 2018, 10:18

@juju
Alas if theorically Binvox can input 1024 as resolution i can just input 768 (3 * 256) as maxi resolution (maybe i have not enough memory)... so seems the resolution maxi will be this shown above for the ZBrush object!...
