About

Voxel Builder is a voxel-based 3D modeling application for building, editing and rendering voxel scenes. It includes terrain, cube, sphere and isometric generators, along with interactive modeling, symmetric drawing and painting, transforms and color groups. For rendering, it offers a Three.js sandbox, GPU path tracer, basic PBR and post-process effects. It can voxelize models in GLB, OBJ, STL and PLY formats, as well as images and Unicode or emoji text. Projects save and load as JSON or MagicaVoxel VOX files, and can export to GLB, GLTF, OBJ, STL or PLY. Local storage, snapshots, quicksave, undo and redo, and ZIP snapshot backups are supported. A Blender importer script is included, and baked GLB meshes can be used in Blender and other 3D software. The project describes the app as ad-free, without trackers or logging, and usable online or offline. It is free under GPL-3.0, with browser support on desktop and mobile and Electron downloads for Linux x64 and Windows x64.

Who it is for

Voxel Builder suits people making voxel scenes who want modeling, rendering and format conversion in one tool. Its tablet-and-pen recommendation may also appeal to artists working on supported mobile browsers.

What is good

  • Free, with code under GPL-3.0
  • Imports common model formats and images
  • Exports GLB, GLTF, OBJ, STL and PLY
  • Includes Blender importer and baked mesh workflow
  • Usable online or offline

What to know first

  • High voxel volumes can lower frame rates
  • Browser storage is limited
  • GLB geometry animations are unsupported for voxelization
  • Dense scenes can increase GPU load

Verdict

Voxel Builder covers modeling, rendering, conversion and project saving, with broad browser access and Blender support. Plan for performance and browser-storage limits when working with larger scenes.
