Solid Editor vs Vengi VoxEdit

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.

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.
