Acropora 1.2 available for download
Acropora is a procedural voxel modeler for creating complex, organic mesh topologies that are useful for all types of 3D modeling applications. This new release brings voxel modeling to a whole new level, with animation of modifiers and primitives.

- -Path objects
- -MAX 2008 plug-in (more loaders on the way)
- -Voxelisation of user imported models
- -Over 60+ volume modifiers (filter, terrain, geometric, warp)
- -Generation of up to 15 octaves of three-dimensional noise (volumetric, Perlin and fractal)
- -Extensive voxel and noise editing tools
- -Extensive post-processing of meshes (tesselation, smoothing, simplification,...)
- -Batch processing

- fyi, beta link is busted, should be :

Cheers,

Either way, I'll have to give this a whirl, sounds fun!
I tried different versions of the URL:
http://www.voxelogic.com\Downloads\Acropora_1_2_0121_BETA.exe
and
http://www.voxelogic.com/Downloads/Acropora_1_2_0121_BETA.exe
They both give the same results on Internet Explorer: link to the download.
From the literature the backslash is rarely if ever recommended for URL's.
Comments anyone?
I got a little time to spend with Acropora, very powerful and speedy. I don't do a lot of environment work, but I think this would be a great tool for adding high frequency grunge type materials like corrosion. Going to play more later
