In their own words
Solid Editor
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.
VoxelDream
VoxelDream is a free macOS voxel-based 3D creation tool for building, editing, and exporting game-ready assets. Voxel Mode changes voxels directly, while World Mode arranges multiple assets with transforms, hierarchy, and editable pivots. Modeling tools cover freehand drawing, geometric shapes, stairs, selection, filling, painting, erasing, and color picking. Projects save as .voxproj files, preserving editable voxel sources for later work. The tool imports VVOX assets and PNG, JPEG, WebP, or BMP images, converting images into editable voxel content. Materials include solid-color voxels and Minecraft blocks. Exports include FBX for Unity, Unreal, Godot, Blender, and other workflows, Minecraft Add-On packages for supported Bedrock use, and PNG renders. Animation, texture painting, scene editing, and game-engine export are listed. It is free for personal and commercial use, subject to imported-source rights. Version v0.1.3-beta.1 has macOS arm64 and x86_64 builds.
