Using Minis

Minis allow users to efficiently add predefined small objects to voxel grids. This section summarizes the key operations related to using Minis, which are detailed in the following pages.

Placing Minis

The Place Mini operation allows you to generate voxel data from the 2D pixel grid of a Mini and place it within a voxel grid at a specified position. This operation can also create multiple copies of the Mini with defined spacing between them.

For detailed steps and parameters, refer to the Place Mini Documentation.

Projecting Minis

Minis can be projected onto voxel grids at right angles, similar to how images are projected onto a wall using an overhead projector or beamer. This operation maps the colors and materials of the Mini onto existing voxels without utilizing height information.

To learn how to project a Mini onto a voxel grid, see the Project Mini Documentation.

Stamping Minis

The Stamp Tool combines a limited version of both the Place Mini and Project Mini operations, allowing you to apply the pattern of a selected Mini to a voxel grid using your mouse. This intuitive approach enables you to quickly and easily place Minis in your project.
