Trees and grass should look less garish in future Avoyd Minecraft renders.
I've toned down the default leaf materials (oak_leaf, spruce_leaf etc) as well as grass to better match the #Minecraft blocks. #VoxelEditor #Voxel #Render

> #Avoyd 0.18.0 BETA download: https://www.enkisoftware.com/products

We're adding Masks to #Avoyd's Edit Tool to make it easier to selectively edit voxels.

They'll be useful for adding water, clouds or fog to worlds without overwriting what's already built.

#Avoyd 0.17.0 Full is out with voxel editor and renderer improvements:

> Renders atmosphere volumetric shadows (sun rays).
> Faster, better renders especially for transparency and reflections.
> Improvements to edit cursor motion and camera movement.
> Fixed export to obj. mesh (issue introduced in 0.16.0)

The changes apply to both the full release and the free demo.

#Avoyd Beta update: we added a prototype export to #MagicaVoxel *.vox

This means you can use Avoyd to export for ex. #Minecraft or #WorldPainter models to vox - with size and materials count limitations -

I tried WorldPainter to make realistic voxel landscapes in Avoyd and it works rather well!

We've just released a beta that fixes the export to polygon mesh (.obj) crash.

Beta download: https://www.enkisoftware.com/products

We're waiting to check that it's working, so access is limited to people who own Avoyd. We'll eventually release it for free.

Import Image as Heightmap in #Avoyd

> Material
Different materials have different properties: colour, how much they reflect light etc.

The same Material is used for the entire imported image

> Material Amount
Affects the aspect of voxels: with full amount each voxel is represented as a cube. If the amount is not full, voxels are smaller & deformed by neighbours creating angled surfaces & smoother slopes

#VoxelEditor #VoxelArt #Voxel

Import Image as Heightmap in #Avoyd (cont'd)

> Max Height
How high the height map can get to.

Pure black in the imported image translates to altitude 0 (empty), pure white is at Max Height, all other colours are in-between

Screenshots show Max Height 4, 12, & 32 voxels

Import image as height map in #Avoyd

I've added new parameters. Is there anything else you'd like to have? (colours import is planned)

> Position
sets the 3D coordinates of the top-left corner of the image, in the picture it's (0, 0, 0) with anchor centered on it

> Height Axis and Direction
Sets image on a plane & the way it faces (positive or negative along height axis)
