So to begin open up the MagicaVoxel Editor and you should automatically be presented with the cube we just mentioned. This is important because we will be transforming this cube into a canvas that you can use to draw your pixel art. There you can find a step by step tutorial on getting MagicaVoxel running on your computer.įor this example we will be using the standard cube that is made when you create a new file in the MagicaVoxel Editor. If you need help installing MagicaVoxel, view our previous tutorial How to Install MagicaVoxel. This tutorial uses MagicaVoxel 0.99.6 or newer. The question is, how do I create 3D pixel art in MagicaVoxel? The nice thing is MagicaVoxel supports creating a grid that allows you to make your own pixel art fast and easily! We’ll be going through the steps to setup MagicaVoxel so you can create pixel art and then show you how to render it to make it look extra special. So a great feature of MagicaVoxel that is often overlooked is the ability to make pixel art. In this tutorial, we will show you how to create 3D pixel art using MagicaVoxel. You can then apply great 3D effects to your pixel art to make it extra special. A neat hidden feature that exists inside of MagicaVoxel is the ability to make pixel art just like you would in a traditional 2D graphics software.

That is because pixel art and voxel art work off a grid the same way.

If you had a chance to see some voxel art, you may have noticed its a lot like pixel art, just 3D.
