VOXEL based modelers?

Toomas

Are there any voxel based modelers?
IMHO it would be best solution for sculpting.
You might think the file size would be huge but 2 colour 2000x10,000 GIF is only 23 kb so 2000x2000x10,000 scene would be only like 50megs, it would be pure shape only, but i think it would be possible to also color the surface texels without bloating the file much.

Oh well, just some stupid smoke break idea

edit: changed the texel for voxel, stupid old head.

Do you mean voxels? I think you're talking about voxels...

Toomas

yeah voxel

my folks been driving voxels past 8 years or so, very reliable

not a stupid idea i believe it could be the next big thing that might replace polygons for many tasks - not just for modelling. being able to define a volume should help greatly with character setup, for example. polygons are such a hack.

Isn't Houdini?

(If you really want to make the big bucks learn that software)

EDIT: Nope. Sorry, From the way someone I knew described it sounded as if. (Above still applies)

yeha clay tools is, i got to play around with it a bit at a demo show i went to last year,, pretty neat, but the interface whille nice and innovative was not quiet perfected enough to not feel like a gimmick, its capable of really neat things when you master it i bet
