Voxel Scene

The Voxel Scene is the main asset type in Foxel, serving as the foundation for creating and animating complex voxel environments. It provides a versatile platform for users to bring their ideas to life through detailed design and animation.

Key Features

  • Keyframe-Based Animation: Voxel Scenes support keyframe-based animation, allowing users to create smooth and dynamic movements over time. This feature enables the animation of objects, characters, and environmental elements within the scene, providing a rich storytelling experience.

  • Asset References: Voxel Scenes can reference all other asset types, including Voxel Movies, Mesh Assets, and Heightmaps. This capability allows for the integration of diverse elements into a single scene, enhancing creativity and complexity.

  • Lighting and Cameras: Users can add lights and cameras to their Voxel Scenes, enabling the manipulation of illumination and perspective. This feature is essential for creating mood, depth, and realism in your voxel environments.

  • Rendering Capabilities: Voxel Scenes can be used to render images or image sequences to file. This functionality allows users to export their creations for use in presentations, videos, or other media, making it easy to share and showcase their work.

Use Cases

  • Creating Complex Environments: Voxel Scenes are ideal for building intricate voxel worlds, from simple landscapes to elaborate structures. The ability to reference other asset types allows for a rich and varied environment.

  • Animating Characters and Objects: With keyframe-based animation support, users can animate characters and objects within the scene, bringing them to life and enhancing the overall narrative.

  • Lighting Design: The addition of lights enables users to experiment with different lighting setups, creating dramatic effects or subtle atmospheres that enhance the visual appeal of the scene.

  • Rendering for Media: Voxel Scenes can be rendered to produce high-quality images or sequences, making them suitable for use in videos, games, or promotional materials. This feature allows creators to present their work in a polished and professional manner.

In summary, Voxel Scenes are the cornerstone of the Foxel application, providing users with the tools needed to create, animate, and render complex voxel environments. By leveraging the capabilities of Voxel Scenes, you can unlock the full potential of your voxel projects and bring your creative visions to life.
