Import Raw 3D Binary Arrays

We wrote a short guide on how to make and import a raw 3D binary array, which is useful for procedural generation. Render of imported procedural 3D raw array data from Stefan Samociuk @protofield

Documentation en français

Pour les francophones : Nous avons commencé à traduire la documentation de l'éditeur de voxels en français. Pour l'instant elle couvre le tutoriel d'introduction et les contrôles, commandes et raccourcis. Le reste est en cours de traduction.

Nous avons également créé un serveur Discord bilingue EN/FR

Render Tutorial Video and Transcript

We published a video tutorial and transcript showing how to do a render using an isometric view of a Minecraft map. It covers how to use the voxel editor to import a map, setting the graphics quality and the lighting, configuring and using the camera, and configuring and doing a render.
