I played Minecraft before when I was six

I played Minecraft when I was six in Minecraft it was really fun Plus make structure is not very good

Lots of fun! Thanks for updates

A classic editor for creating VoxelArt = three dimensional pixels Now it does include animation which is great.
speaking of Animation, we still wish they would release a public version of โ€œRoto shopโ€! The hand animation program from โ€œWaking Lifeโ€ etc.

Very capable simple voxel editor

This is especially good for a free app. I highly suggest going into settings and switching off the auto camera and gyro/accelerometer stuff (the stuff that makes it tilt when you tilt your tablet). All the auto reframing it does by default is a little tricky to work with. It just moves too much. But if you turn that off, much easier to use.

It also has options to turn off the sound effects if you get annoyed with the โ€œplonk, plonk, plonkโ€ noise for every added block.

With a little tweaking of settings, very good voxel editor.

Also, its huge that this includes so many export options, like obj, so you can move it to something like blender to work with more, or print your work.

Great Concept, lots of potential!!!

Just got into voxel creating, found this app and its much better then the others out there...

Problems I have run into are:

touchy controls, you can move with your stylus but sometimes you will put a block in the middle of nowhere.

Apple Pencil doesn't work to well when it comes to adding blocks.

Crashes when you up res something from 1 block to 4 block and so on. Crashes and runs really slow when I had a huge creation that I up scaled to add more detail. I'm on a iPad Pro 9.7 and it had issues with this.

Exporting to voxel app on MAC or PC didn't export the whole design, it only exported half, not to sure if that was user error or what...

Exporting objects works great cause you can use them for assets in games and so on. Doesn't export in colour though which is sort of a minus.

Lots of potential for this slightly expensive app, but it was worth it if you use it with patience...

4 of 5 starts because it still needs work, but I like what it currently has to offer.

Fun, Useful

This app is lots of fun. Responsive, intuitive interface is easy to learn. It lets me quickly mock up ideas that need 3-D representation.

FAQ

What can I create with this app?

You can create a variety of 3D models, including simple sculptures, 3D icons, game levels, or simply doodle with blocks. The app is versatile enough for both artistic expression and functional design.

How do I use the block editor?

Tap in empty space to create your first block. Attach new blocks by tapping any face of an existing block. You can also use the grid guide for precise placement. Color palettes are available to change block colors, and intuitive gestures are used for rotating and zooming.

Is this app free to use?

Yes, the app is free to use. There are no in-app purchases or advertisements mentioned, making it a completely free experience for all users.

Can I use my creations in other applications like Minecraft?

Yes, the app supports importing and exporting models in the .binvox format, which allows you to use your Voxel creations with applications like Minecraft. This feature bridges the gap between creating in Voxel and using your models elsewhere.

What advanced features are available?

For more experienced users, the app offers advanced features such as layering tools, which help organize complex models, and keyframe animation tools for bringing your creations to life. These tools enable more sophisticated projects.
