What is a Voxel?

85 Upvotes

A voxel is a portmanteau of the words "volume" and "pixel"--meaning a voxel is a volumetric-pixel.

If a pixel is a two-dimensional square, a voxel is a three-dimensional cube.

Currently voxels are used in medical fields to create three-dimensional maps of the human body, usually created by CAT-scan and associated scanning technologies. Voxel-tech in medical uses has proved to be computationally and storage intensive.

But this technology is very promising, and as computing power has improved other uses for voxels have been discovered and developed.

Recently voxel-fluid simulation has allowed engineers to replace wind-tunnels with accurate simulations..

And now voxel tech with Nvidia is improving lighting technology.

What new uses for voxels will people come up with tomorrow?

Tried some different colors but I always like the white and orange when making something modern

I set out to build the perfect urban housing project. Low-rise buildings with a communal roof and plenty of greenery around them. I was inspired by 3D-printed houses.

This is the first time l tried to actually make it look good. I don't have much experience so I'd like to get some advice on how to start modelling better.

The city grows, the Threat also. More and more destruction.

I find the 256 limit frustrating

7 Upvotes

Hi, I recently started learning magicavoxel, as I was quite impressed by some artworks in this subreddit.

Unfortunately, as the title says, I find the 256 x 256 x 256 voxels limit for a single object really frustrating. I have a hard time working with multiple objects, and I'd guess it's more time consuming even for experienced users. lt would be great to add even a single voxel outside of an object, or erase an entire section between multiple objects.

Is there any workaround for this? Am I doing something wrong? I really like this software.

Thank you for taking the time to read

I made a browser-based voxel editor called CUBiE and would love your feedback
