MagicaVoxel (32-bit)

MagicaVoxel is a fully-featured voxel editor that can enable users of all knowledge levels to easily create scenes built entirely from voxels (small three-dimensional building blocks) and render them in incredible visual style with numerous lights, effects, and reflections powered by a fully path-traced raytracing renderer. Designed from the ground up to take full advantage of modern GPU chips that can handle heavy geometry and effect rendering, this app manages to shine as one of the most effective FREE voxel editors on the market.

MagicaVoxel comes in the form of a serious editor that provides access to a wide array of command tools. In fact, the complexity of designs that can be achieved from inside this app can overwhelm novices who will need to ensure to spend a bit of time with this app and learn many of its tools, techniques and best practices for not only building the voxel-based environment but also properly edit, light and render it. However, since it is free and developed at a slow pace, the app also features several limitations that may reduce the scope of the design by more ambitious users. Most notably, the file supports exporting to only one file format (.OBJ), it cannot handle very large voxel numbers and lacks some of the useful tools found in other voxel editors.



On the other side, MagicaVoxel is fast, it can render very impressive scenes in Realtime and can even fully utilize modern GPU chips to render the scenes with full ray-traced visuals (including reflections, shadows, and ambient occlusion). Additionally, the app also features a conversion tool that can export the voxel scenes to Minecraft, enabling more ambitious game builders to create detailed structures inside the comfort of this competent editor.

MagicaVoxel is 100% FREE and content created can be used commercially. The Magica Voxel app is optimized only for modern versions of Windows OS (Windows 7, 8, and 10), and it requires a capable GPU for the seamless rendering of complex voxel-based objects and scenes.

Note: Requires Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package (x64).
