Abstractions

Use your fantasy and create your own abstractions. Import your meshes and twist, warp, manipulate in countless ways.

Modifiers

Apply volumetric modifiers to existing meshes. Import models and voxelize them. Use modifiers to clamp, warp, twist, add volume and much, much more.

Additional Images:

Organic objects

Create realistic, organic shapes from ordinary objects like spheres and cylinders. Here an iceberg is created from a sphere in which the upper and lower halves are modified by different sets of modifiers.

Create entire environments

Create interesting natural formations such as coral reefs, cenotes and more...

Terrain

Create large volumunous terrain meshes. Create via 3D noise generators or apply heightmaps as seed points and watch the voxel engine do its work. Create overhangs, caves, or an endless labyrinth of tunnels with a few mouse clicks.

Introducing Acropora^TM, a procedural voxel modeller that simplifies the generation of complex noise-perturbed meshes.

Features

Acropora^TM is a procedural voxel modeler for creating complex, organic mesh topologies that are useful for all types of 3D modeling applications. Acropora^TM incorporates some of the latest advances in voxel modeling technology. Features include:

A variety of base shapes and compound shapes as primary surfaces
User-defined surfaces
Splines, lofts, grooves, extrusions, chisels
Voxelisation of user imported models
Over 50+ volume modifiers
Automatic 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
Multiple LOD support
Export to multiple mesh formats (FBX, OBJ, 3DS, DXF, DAE), DDS volume textures, and raw voxel data
More...
