Qubicle Voxel Editor vs Vengi VoxEdit

Qubicle Voxel Editor is a tool for creating block-style 3D models on Windows and macOS. It supports voxel editing in 3D or on a 2D canvas, with 21 drawing, selection and transformation tools. A scene can hold up to 16 million objects, and an object can reach 1024×512×1024 voxels. The editor imports and exports QB, QEF, QBT, QMO, QBCL, VOX and Minecraft Schematic formats. The basic application exports unoptimized meshes as OBJ, FBX and Collada; the Mesh Module adds optimized low-poly mesh export and other options. Models can be shared on Sketchfab and 3D-printed through i.materialise. The free Demo offers unlimited use of Basic Edition features but saves in .qbcl and disables custom model export. One-time options include Basic Edition at 14.99 USD, Indie Edition at 24.99 USD, modules from 0.99 USD to 9.99 USD, and a Professional License at 99.99 USD. The product is incompatible with macOS 10.15 Catalina or later.

Vengi VoxEdit is a free, open-source voxel volume editor for creating and changing voxel scenes, with scripting and animation support. It runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, and the web; OpenGL 4.3 is the stated system requirement. Editing tools include shape, stamp, line, extrude, sculpt, texture, paint, and transform brushes. Animation features include layers, keyframes, automatic keyframing, and IK constraints. The editor can load and save many voxel formats, with the vengi format described as best supported. It can import meshes for voxelization and export models or scenes to meshes and other formats. Lua scripting is available through a built-in editor and community script browser. Network mode supports collaborative editing and chat. Saving to formats other than vengi may lose scene details, and animation saves only in vengi or formats that support animation. Connecting to voxbox.store requires a VoxBox account. The editor is under development, and the project directs users to Discord for support, requests, and bug reports.
