Solid Editor
Solid Editor is a voxel graphics editor for creating game-ready assets within the Solid Engine asset pipeline.
What Solid Editor is
Solid Editor is a voxel graphics editor for creating game-ready assets within the Solid Engine asset pipeline. Its scene uses Solid Engine’s path tracer to render lighting in real time while editing. Users work with voxels directly in 3D, using a brightly colored ball as a pointing device. A single Selection tool applies effects to selected voxels and previews them in real time. The editor is natively compatible with Solid Engine and has free Windows and Linux downloads at version 0.1.0. It requires 64-bit Windows 10 or later or 64-bit Linux, and supports Nvidia graphics cards only; a GeForce GTX 1080 or better is recommended but not required. The optional Ball Pointer needs a webcam, though the editor can be used without it. The release is identified as an early version that may crash or glitch. MagicaVoxel .vox import and export, animation, scene layers, and polygon model import are planned rather than available features. A one-time Solid Editor Pro user plan costs $10, paid once and offers prioritized support replies within 48 hours.
