There’s no way to ‘import’ a 3D model or sprite into the app. It only opens .vox files.
It allows animation in some way, but it’s done like in Aseprite, that is, frame by frame, ~purely for gifs.
- It’s not a style that’s even slightly pleasant or useful for games.
Does not allow rigging.
The app seems to support turning voxels into LEGO pieces.

There is support for "prefabs" (aka shaders / project templates). Shaders are used constantly to create complex and noisy objects, which I don’t like because it only feels like composition techniques, which I find boring and not very “intimate”.
I hated how the app handles the color palette, being super weird and having a very saturated default color range.
- The biggest issue I had with this was that the object by default associates itself with a coordinate in the palette, so if you change any color in the palette, the object also changes its color, making everything very strange.
- For a 3D drawing and painting app, I think this is a major flaw.
- There are some tips to improve the use of palettes, but they’re still clunky.
Didn’t like the 3D navigation much, but it’s very hard for any app to satisfy me on that.
I found the tool interface on the left side a bit strange, not very intuitive in terms of organization. Still, I managed to learn 90% of everything without watching videos, so it’s somewhat self-explanatory.
My biggest criticisms are about making “high-res” and “low-res” voxels, which is annoying or simply limiting, like making a pixel art character that’s 16px tall. Overall, the app is great, except for my color palette criticisms.
