Discovered too late for inclusion in the forthcoming isometric issue of Digital Art Live<\/em> magazine, “How To Convert OBJ to VOX color”<\/a> with a new summer 2022 freeware .OBJ to voxels ‘voxeliser’ software… <\/p>\n

“Convert your .OBJ and .MTL to the native .VOX format, including color and textures”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…and also automatically make the object look like it was built with those funky voxel cubes. Warning: the software is new and still at the level of command line input. <\/p>\n

Note however that Qubicle 3.x can do this same process already, and with a very nice GUI too, albeit for $25<\/a>. You do have to start with a small model though. It’s not going to cope well if you try to feed it Stonemason’s Urban Future scene or a Genesis figure, from DAZ \/ Poser.<\/p>\n

Quickstart in Qubicle:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Export from Poser \/ DAZ \/ Blender a viable .OBJ file, with a viable .MTL and loading materials (easier said than done). Poly-reduce if needed.<\/p>\n

2. Top menu | Voxelize | “Load Mesh” | Load .OBJ.<\/p>\n

3. Top menu | Voxelize | “Scale Mesh” | Type in a scale factor, “Preview” and see what it looks like after that.<\/p>\n

4. Looking good? Top menu | Voxelize | “Convert to Matrix”.<\/p>\n

Everything in Qubicle has to be held with a ‘Matrix’, indicated by a yellow holding line around the model’s volume. If you want to colour or edit the model further, you first ‘enter’ the ‘Matrix’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
