Just started using this program and it's so cool, makes me want to retry making this old 2D game I was making but with 3D voxels instead.

 

Still getting used to this, gunna follow lots of tutorials, wonder if you can work in layers.... thinking of importing models into Unity (and somehow learning that too).

 

Hope this motivates me to do something like this, and if it does ill post some stuff here. I love your fishing art in post 1, looks so nice! <3 - are all your voxels the same size in the fish/store scene - and also what did you use to set the scene and give it depth of field blur?

By the way can you create these and then use them as game assets?

 

Even though I just started learning today, it seems yes you can - you can export them into Unity 3D as assets which is awesome. Theres 400+ free 'city style' models available here:

And you can use them even on commercial stuff, and they offer downloads as .vox files to be edited, or Unity3D ready files. Not sure if another program is needed to export them to game assets, gunna follow some tutorials.

 

 

Cool little video.

Awesome, I think this year I'm going to start to plan and make a small game. 

 

However, even failing this I find this program really useful to bash out blocks which I can then use for refs for perspective.

Yeah, I keep going through phases but never getting anything done. An isometric 3D style would suit a game I had planned a long time ago, a single screen platformer puzzler where you avoid traps and stuff ..

Those were the 2d levels i did, think it would work even better 3d (:

 

Edit: There was this old 2d game i played way back, mightve been just a prototype/test game or something with a small character crawling climbing through tight and open spaces - it inspired me to make 'project barry' above..,.. hope I can find it again, it was super low-res but pretty densely packed levels.

Been using this guys video tutorials for help on MagicaVoxel, animating them in Mixamo, and importing to Unity3D, which is pretty good.

 

 

(you should start at ep1)

 

He's not the most thorough but it's been very helpful, especially since ive just heard of mixamo which is pretty cool - wouldnt mind 'jerkier' animations (like that Wreck-It Ralph animation)

 

e.g tumblr_ml6cf6k2IB1ri3trlo1_500.gif

 

 especially for the voxel style, would work better I think. Anyway, just got to the bit where he imports them to unity3D so thatll be fun. Anyone else know good tutorials?

 

Would rather animate the protagonist similar to this style - or even like the fisher guy in OP

Since he's short and a lil bit chunky

hey ive been loving the latest ones you posted on twitter, the one of the grandads cabin.

 

any chance you could do a video on how you do it? or a speed art thing or something? would love to see and get as good as you (:

 

do you save shapes that you use alot and place them in from the side?

Yes I should do a vid really, I might do a quick character design one at some point.

 

That cabin took ages as it had so much in it, my main problem with Magicavoxel is you can't group objects and then easily select them, so there was a lot of messing around with the cabin, like drawing stuff up in the sky away from the rest of the image and then pulling them down into position, if it gets too crowed I just start a new document and then copy paste into place.

 

I think it's just years and years of pixelart has helped me massively and since I always liked to work on tiny characters they just sort of work well in voxels.

The cityscape is amazing and this:
