I am curious if people are using tools like CAD or something similar to design your buildings on a computer before building them in game? I know Minecraft has several tools like this that allow 3D design in blocks made by the community so maybe we have something similar? I see people making these giant murals out of gleam of old 8 bit characters from other games, surely you’re using something… If there is a good tool someone can recommend I would love to check it out. I am getting tired of my boring cube builds.
This is what I’ve always used. There is a unique joy that comes with laboriously recreating your draft in game by climbing all around it and counting out your block placements. It’s a kind of fun that I’ve never known in a game. It’s why I’m so addicted.
I’ve used Magicavoxel. I also design things on Grid paper, because you know I’m bored at work and I have grid paper but not access to a way to design in magicavoxel. I actually enjoy it on paper because I can do things like plan chisels, and I apply more problem solving to designs of mine so I can skip some of the frustration while I’m building in game.
Best part is SketchUp has a public library of 3d models (Google ‘3D warehouse’) people have created. You can search in there and if the model already exists then I can have it downloaded, scaled, and voxelized in like 5 minutes
I’ve been playing with magic voxel for at least 20 minutes now and I still don’t have any ideas xD This is a good program if you guys haven’t tried it.
