In their own words
Facet
Facet is a voxel modeling and texturing application for making 3D meshes and painting pixel-perfect textures on voxel faces. Chamfering and filleting reshape edges, while the Pattern tool saves pixel-art designs for stamping across voxel faces. The Facade Depth Editor extrudes individual pixels into sub-voxel 3D detail. The browser demo supports face painting, compound shapes, reusable patterns, pixel extrusion, and saving projects as JSON for reloading. The full version adds one-click OBJ export, with UVs and texture atlases handled automatically. The maker links a Godot plugin intended to address texture bleeding and UV alignment when importing OBJ files; the demo page describes exported models as ready for Godot, Blender, or any engine. Users can share projects by copying their JSON, including into Discord. Facet is in development. The purchase provides a standalone Windows MSI installer and README guide; purchases include future updates, and the maker says buyers will receive a complimentary Steam key when Facet officially launches on Steam. The browser demo is free; the full version costs 10.00 USD or more as a one-time purchase.
