MagicaCSG Features: Looped and Capped Spline

Some new features you may see in the upcoming updates:

Looped Spline

After some work of compacting the data structure, looped sweep spline (first and last end points ar...

MagicaCSG 0.4.4 Beta: Discrete Sweep Spline

A new discrete variant for the swept volume mode (check the sweep-type sample model).

It has two new options:

1. Slice count (N on the top bar) 2024-04-01 23:35:00 +0000 UTC View Post

MagicaCSG Feature: Discretely Sampled Spline

Added a discrete variant for swept volume mode (still optimizing the structure and ui).

Instead of continuous surfaces, it generates a series of slices along the spline based on selected C0/C...

How to import Sprites Animation in MagicaVoxel (0.99.7.2)

(Sample images are from the awesome game "River City Girl". Only for demonstrating purposes)

1. Drop the palette image to palette view to import palette;

2. Drop sprite images (same siz...

MagicaCSG 0.4.3 Beta: C0/C2 Continuity and Groove Blend

I. C0/C1/C2 Continuity for Sweep Splines (on the top bar):

1. C0: polylines, linearly interpolation

2. C1: smooth tangent, cubic spline (Catmull-Rom) -> default

MagicaCSG Feature: Groove Blend

The new Groove blend mode allows you to apply Boolean operations within a certain thickness around the surface (i.e., you can use primitives to extrude the surface).

In the f...

MagicaCSG Feature: C0/C1/C2 Continuity

Will support C0/C1/C2 Continuity for Sweep Splines:

1. C0: polylines, linearly interpolation

2. C1: smooth tangent, cubic spline (Catmull-Rom) -> default

3. C2: smooth second d...

MagicaCSG 0.4.2 Beta: Bezier Sweep Patch

Now you can apply Sweep Mode to Bezier curves/Line segments profile to create surface patches.

- Click the control point and then modify the corresponding width and the offset of the midpoint...

MagicaVoxel on Surface

Some simple tests on the basic features of MagicaVoxel on Surface.

Overall, it's quite relaxing to operate with one hand on the screen.

Some changes:

1.  maps the two-finger ...

MagicaCSG Feature: Bezier Patch

Planned to support Swept Mode for Bezier curves/Line segments to create surface patches (probably the most expensive primitive).

You can change the width and the offset of midpoint at each co...

MagicaCSG on Surface?

Bought a Surface Pro 7 to investigate the rendering issues on Intel UHD mentioned by some users before.

The program was originally not designed for tablet, so some features like gesture-based...

MagicaCSG 0.4.1 Curved Boundary

The file format in this version is different from previous versions.

Please backup your old models.

Aerialod 0.0.2 Public Release

Updates in the public release:

1. Support 16-bit depth color map (will be converted to 8-bit depth image internally)

2. sRGB Color Mode: if the image is in linear col...

MagicaCSG: Curved Boundary

In the next update, you will be able to apply a new curved boundary modifier to Triangle/Quad/Cube profile shapes to obtain a smooth boundary defined by Bezier curves.

Note that the Egg modif...

MagicaCSG: mirror

You will be able to mirror the stroke in all three axes from the new interface in the next update.

• disable all three axes by pressing the button with a mirror icon.
• Half and Rh...

MagicaCSG 0.4.0 Beta: Swept Volume

You can find some video tutorials in the previous two posts.

Here is some more information:

1. You can ALT+Drag a control point to insert a new control point on the path (up to 8).

MagicaCSG Demo II: Constraints of Swept Paths

The default setting provides you 4 degrees of freedom per control point for the swept path.

But the tool also provides several constraint options to make the manipulation of shape easier.

MagicaCSG Demo I: Control Points of Swept Volume

1. Select Swept Extrude Mode

There are 5 extrude modes: straight extrude, revolve, torus, helix and sweep now.

Select the sweep mode, then the sweep tools will show on ...

MagicaCSG Feature: Curved Boundary

Had several experiments recently to explore potential features in the following updates.

One of them is to add curved smooth boundary to Triangle, Quad, and Rectangle shapes, giving them a mo...

MagicaCSG New System: SDF of Swept Volume

Hi everyone, a new powerful and expensive editing tool will be added to MagicaCSG:

    "The SDF of Swept Volume",

which is defined by the space of a...

MagicaCSG 0.3.2: Shader Cache

You may notice that the loading time in the latest version of MCSG is significantly longer than that of previous versions. It's due to the long compiling time of the more and more complex shaders f...

MagicaCSG 0.3.1 Beta Release: Helix Primitive

In this version, we have four extrude modes now (the top bar of the stroke pane):

1. Straight/Cone Extrude

2. Revolve

MagicaCSG 0.3.0 Release: L2 and L∞ Norm Ellipsoids

I originally wanted to put the L2 ellipsoid in minor update 0.2.5, but later I realized that it belongs to a larger category of advanced primitives that I'm working on, so all the new stuffs will b...

Helix SDF Primitive

This week's achievement is implementing helix primitive with various profile shapes.

There is still quite some work left to do with the performance and artifacts issues.

but it looks pr...
