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

      https://i.postimg.cc/4305Kkyc/magica102b.jpg

      From the internal

      Spheres as Cubes

      https://i.postimg.cc/KjSDNPnv/magica112f.jpg

      2 objects for test because Matrix maxi is 126126126

      https://i.postimg.cc/PfY4q7jL/moi300.jpg

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

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

      Edges can have a thickness & Colors!

      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!

      Exploration...

      [img:2vt28qfp]https://i.postimg.cc/JzFmg4Kv/garabit9.jpg[/img:2vt28qfp]

      Amazing that can be done in 30 seconds modeling!
      [img:2vt28qfp]https://i.postimg.cc/fRHHwV9W/BUILDING.jpg[/img:2vt28qfp]

      So clean...of course this use is not the classic use of Voxels Art! πŸ˜„
      As edges and grids can have colors & tchickness variations are infinite!
      [img:2vt28qfp]https://i.postimg.cc/Hsknv1KM/magica2004.jpg[/img:2vt28qfp]

      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...

                        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.

                          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!

                                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 πŸ˜„

                                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 πŸ˜„

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

                                ​​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

                                    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.

                                    Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

                                      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... πŸ˜„

                                        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!...

                                            Something very important that I just discover! πŸ˜„

                                            You can make Boolean Diff without use Patterns!

                                            Just draw an object in a free space and with a different color of the object to trim!
                                            And not make like me a selection inside an existing object!
                                            2 weeks or more for discovered that! I am amazed that nobody tell me that! πŸ˜„
                                            A boolean union will be jut to colorize the objects with a same color! πŸ˜‰

                                            This can be enabled!
