voxel-toy v0.0.9

Voxel Toy

A tool for converting .vox files to Unreal Engine geometry. What are .vox files? They're the native file format generated by the amazing, lightweight MagicaVoxel editor.

Installation

npm install -g voxel-toy

Don't have NodeJS or NPM? Get it here: https://nodejs.org

Usage

Convert .vox file to .t3d

vox -f /path/to/file.vox

Paste .t3d into Unreal Engine 4

Once the .t3d file has been generated, open the file in a text editor and copy the entire contents. Open UE4 and paste the contents into the scene editor. Your voxel model will now be converted into UE4 BSPs/brushes/geometry.

Options

-c, --compress Merge individual voxels into larger blocks where possible -f, --file The path to the .vox file -s, --size The size of each individual voxel in UE4 units

Example:

vox -f /path/to/file.vox -s 200 -c true
