Spec score 8.2 #5 of 26 in Voxel Editors

What it is

Solid Editor is a voxel graphics editor for creating game-ready assets in the Solid Engine pipeline. Its scene uses Solid Engine’s path tracer to render lighting in real time while editing. Voxels can be edited directly in 3D with a brightly colored ball as the pointing device. A single Selection tool applies effects to selected voxels and previews them live. The editor is natively compatible with Solid Engine and requires 64-bit Windows 10 or newer or 64-bit Linux, with Nvidia graphics cards only. A GeForce GTX 1080 or better is recommended but not required. The optional Ball Pointer needs a webcam, while the editor also works without it. Windows and Linux v0.1.0 downloads are offered, with a warning that this early version may crash or glitch. MagicaVoxel import/export, animation, scene layers, and polygon model import are planned. The free editor has a one-time 10.00 USD Pro user plan.
