We've made small adjustment to the movement prototype and made the procedural world more colourful. We've also added a tool to import images (png, tga, jpg) as heightmaps and a sphere copy/paste option.

As always, feedback and questions are very welcome.

Game - start the prototype

Voxel Editor - import images as height maps

• File > Import > Image Heightmap
• Select an image file (png, tga or jpg) on your computer and Open
• The colour used is the currently selected material (menu View > Edit Tool)
• The amount of material influences the smoothness: set to max (255) for cubic blocks, set it lower (e.g. 25) for smoother surfaces.

Voxel Editor - sphere copy / cut and paste tool
