A subreddit for voxel creations and art.

A voxel (a portmanteau of the words volumetric and pixel) is a volume element, representing a value on a regular grid in three dimensional space. This is analogous to a pixel, which represents 2D image data in a bitmap (which is sometimes referred to as a pixmap).

As with pixels in a bitmap, voxels themselves do not typically have their position (their coordinates) explicitly encoded along with their values. Instead, the position of a voxel is inferred based upon its position relative to other voxels (i.e., its position in the data structure that makes up a single volumetric image).

In contrast to pixels and voxels, points and polygons are often explicitly represented by the coordinates of their vertices. A direct consequence of this difference is that polygons are able to efficiently represent simple 3D structures with lots of empty or homogeneously-filled space, while voxels are good at representing regularly-sampled spaces that are non-homogeneously filled.

Because voxels are inherently blocky, voxel-art is like 3-dimensional pixel art.

Is there any community / app / anywhere that artists come together and share their voxel models, collaborate, etc?

I’m just seeking out communities of open artists. Not necessarily because I want to steal their stuff, but I’m just trying to find footing with people who are heavily into voxel art / games etc to network and learn.

I am trying to create these cube net patterns (left image) to make cubes offline, but first I want to put them together digitally to create designs like in the image on the right? How can I do this? I tried magica and qubicle.. any help please?

I made this Owl following a tutorial on this book: Voxel Art Improvement Collection. It's only in japanese but the instructions are simple enough that you don't need to speak the language. I did a pos in Photoshop to add some glare.
