Hirnsausen Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 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 ?

Emptiness Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Replace voxel tool already exists, literally as that name. Hirnsausen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirnsausen Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Then shame on me! ? is it just basic, or can it also take the shape of user-defined text as mentioned above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe make a new thread for a "New Voxel Tool: Text to Voxel" tool ? Hirnsausen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirnsausen Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frigidman Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 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 Hirnsausen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zireaa Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I haven’t played seance early alpha Just returning now that we have claims I had hoped that has bin fixed by know it’s Very annoying that changing material changes some voxels back And agree this should not happen Hirnsausen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
