Quick and Easy way to export Models to MagicaVoxel
*Meshes
*Skin Meshes
*Multi Selected
*Auto Palette or Custom colors

Version 1.2 - Import to Prefab Added

 

Now live on the store if anyone is interested....

 

Lots of requests for making prefabs...
so I'm adding an import tool

*Optimized Mesh
*Support to import materials...

Example...With and without materials
*Note my programmer art, needed example with glass, metal, and emit

 

Submitted to Asset Store, waiting review.

updated Manual:

*Renamed Asset since it now does more then export.

 

Question (or a Feature Request)
Can i convert particles to voxel?
e.g: a explosion to a voxel explosion, this could be VERY useful

Anyway, Thanks

 

This is a feature I have looked into....here is a quick example of what I got working:



so it is a feature i'd like to add, but I don't know when.

 

this will be so amazing when comes out!
create a explosion particle simulation and convert to voxel (this will be AMAZING)

what is in my head:

 

good luck and do not rush to add new features to the asset

 

submitted version 1.2a to fix 2018.3+ issues

I don't get why people would spend time to give a 1 star review before asking for support...

 

I have not bought it yet, so it's still impossible to do a review, but I still think your idea is incredible for all lovers of voxel art

 

Submitted Version 1.3 to asset store...

Huge improvement to import quality:





Example: import voxel, add post processing...looks nice

 

Nice Update!

 

I would love to know how your progress on the destruction is going. I can't for the life of me figure out how to make a voxel model disintegrate like you have there.

 

@K-ANator

it was just a standard unity particle system (Render Mode -> Mesh, Mesh = Cube) and each particle was just to a voxel position and color.

you will be able to create a voxel particle system


and assign the data from the importer..


I'm still working on the details and polish...but it will be in the next update.

 

I've been working on recoding the importer for the next version.

It uses Unity scriptedImporter, so no need to open a window..just click on the .vox file in project.

New features requested by customers...
Preview Voxels
Preview PivotPoint
Import single, multi or Merge (large voxels) from MagicaVoxel files.
Remove Hidden voxels
Add Physics RigidyBody and Colliders
Create Data for Particle systems
Assign Shader for each type

Current State:

 

Hello,
great asset, it works quite well,
is it possible to have access to the source code? (to fit my specific needs)

 

@Wild-Factor
it includes all source code except the voxel.dll (a few open source MIT projects I shoved into a single .dll)
if you need that code, just email or PM and I'll upload the Visual Studio solution.


Edit:
Next update, I'll just include a zipped copy of the code with the asset.

 

Submitted Version 1.5 to asset store

Version 1.5

Importer
-Uses Scripted Importer (just click on the file now!)
-Handles Multiple World objects (single, multi, merge)
-Options to add rigid body and colliders
-Import voxels as data

Voxel Particles

Improved: Mesh Baker - vertices and out of range UV's

scripts use namespace MagicaVoxelTools

Submitted Free Version to assetstore (pending review)

 

Hi bocs,

This asset is what I am looking for, I am testing the free version and the import option does not seem to work in Unity 2019.2.3f.

Says 'working' forever, and logs an error. See attached screenshot.



Thanks, let me know of any solutions.

 

which version of MagicaVoxel are you using?
I think the file format has slightly changed and I have not had a chance to verify all versions are imported correctly.

Don't believe this a Unity version issue, but I'll test and update soon.

 

Tried different versions, same result. In the demo there are .vox files(gunship, carrier, etc), they do the same thing when clicking on them - So I'm not sure what the issue is

 

ok, I should have time this weekend to investigate more.

 

Hi, I would like to purchase this asset. Does it re-import the MV model to back into Unity with a whole texture i.e. so I could dissolve the model using Brackeys solution as currently MagicaVoxel textures are linked to each individual voxel thus making any applied dissolve effects pretty useless? Is the asset all up-to date and working with 2019.3.1f1 and the above issue resolved? (100% purchase if the above is correct).

Dissolve issue:

Thanks, Cookie

 

@Cookieg82 I suggest you try the free version and let me know what doesn't work for you..
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/magicavoxel-tools-free-146116

I've run into more issues with old versions of MagicaVoxel file formats then issues with unity versions.

The free version should be great for importing basic models optimized with a single texture, let me know how I can improve it or fix any issues.

 

Thank you for coming back to me! Really appreciate it - I am building an RPG and had a few requests to implement exlpoding voxels as a mechanic. I shall go with the Free version to test it out. Thanks again.

Hi. just purchased your asset and wanted to test importing but the import window is simply not there in Tools!? Unity 2019.3

 

If I read the most recent update correctly, you just click on the VOX file now, no need to open an import window.

 

I responded to your email, so feel free to continue here or emails.

K-ANator is correct, no import window is needed, just copy the vox to your project and click on it.

 

Is this still in development? Thanks!

 

That was added 3 updates ago

 

Oh you are joking! That is going to transform my game. Thank you!!!!!!!! I would kiss you but you know...

 

Quick Q: Is it optimised? Does it heap/garbage heavy?

 

Just purchased the full suite. Fantastic asset. Thank you!

 

MagicaVoxel's limit is now 256, so is it possible to increase the size to 255?

 

Do you mean export?
I just tested a 8 x 256 x 8 and was not a problem on import.

 

This is the size when converting to voxels.
Currently it is 125, but can you expand this?

 

Simple update, I'll add it after some more testing. I'll show you where you can change it for now.

Example of 256 export...


Just edit these lines in the code.....

 

Thank you very much!

 

Is there a function to know how many pixel * pixel * pixel the object is on the export screen?

 

MagicaVoxel saves the voxels as Position (XYZ) + Color Index, currently the size is only calculated during save with this code.

Code (CSharp):

1.             Int32 sizeX = 0;
2.             Int32 sizeY = 0;
3.             Int32 sizeZ = 0;
4.             for (int i = 0; i < selectedVoxelInfo.Count; i++)
5.             {
6.                 if (selectedVoxelInfo[i].pos.x > sizeX) sizeX = selectedVoxelInfo[i].pos.x;
7.                 if (selectedVoxelInfo[i].pos.y > sizeY) sizeY = selectedVoxelInfo[i].pos.y;
8.                 if (selectedVoxelInfo[i].pos.z > sizeZ) sizeZ = selectedVoxelInfo[i].pos.z;
9.             }

I'll look into adding that also since it is not a simple 1 line code change.

 

I appreciate your kindness.

 

Is it possible to import materials such as metal and grass set by magicavoxel with unity?

 

Yes, just check the "Materials" box

*Not in free version

 

thx

 

Is it possible to export in obj format instead of vox format?

 

Not directly

1. MagicaVoxel has OBJ exporter

2. From Unity

-Create the vox, import it as a prefab
-Use mesh exporter

Unity has an FBX package, and a free OBJ asset on the assert store (untested)
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/scene-obj-exporter-22250

I'll put it on the request list, but Priority is on re-coding the importer to handle lightmaps better currently.

 

Can import model and color to VoxEdit?

 

Yes

 

Is there a way to use this tool to convert obj/fbx files to vox? It looks way better and more accurate than FileToVox. Would be happy to buy if this can be done independent of Unity.
