New Voxel Tool: Voxel Material Replacer


Hirnsausen

Recommended Posts

This is a suggestion.

 

A tool that replaces the material of selected voxels with another material. This would make it possible to change  materials of complex voxel shapes without going through the pain of having to remake the entire voxel "sculpture".

 

 

 

TEXT shape
allows selection of voxels on even or even rounded surfaces using a small text input window with adjustable font size ad font type, then being converted to a voxel output using a combination of existing voxel shapes to create that text, replaces them with voxels of a different (pre-selected) honeycomb material

 

REGULAR SELECT & REPLACE
Like the current voxel selection tool for removing them, but with the convenient difference that it replaces the selected voxels with a pre-selected voxel material   ?

This is a completely different kind of tool (which does not exist) which really doesn't relate to a material replacer (which already exists)... because to make the text, it would have to manipulate the vertexes of voxels, which is something that a material replacer should not touch.

 

Maybe make a new thread for a "New Voxel Tool: Text to Voxel" tool ?

I have one thread in which I have described a new tool that creates a voxel shape that resembles text.

But this tool here is supposed to alter the voxel material on existing voxel surfaces in the shape of text. So it is still a replacer - an ADDED feature to the existing voxel replacer. Meanign, the existing voxel replacer then will be able to offer more shapes for replacement - the shape of text.

Well, considering they have murmured an actual painting tool coming soon™ ... I would think "splatter something that resembles text" could go in that? Given how a much needed paint tool would reduce the need to fiddle as much with a material replacer (which still has a use! because material replacer should replace material without butchering up the voxel! hahaha).

 

Anyhow, I'm eagerly awaiting a proper painting/texturing tool.

 

Maybe what they need is ........ LABEL MAKERS! lol To type actual text across the surface of a ship, different size control, that sort of thing :D
