A new voxel modeling tool named Acropora, from Voxelogic, is in development. Its claim to fame: Procedural Voxel Modeling with noise perturbed meshes. With 30+ volume modifiers, automatic generation of 3d noise (volumetric, perlin, and fractal), LOD support, and more, it looks like a great tool for anyone involved in creating terrains or geophysical models.
An alpha build is expected to be downloadable shortly.
•A variety of base shapes and compound shapes as primary surfaces
•User-defined surfaces
•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, DDS volume textures, and raw voxel data
The Acropora voxel modeler alpha (ver 0.9.1083) is now available for download. There are over 250 MB of tutorials and projects to choose from. We are looking for feedback from potential users since this is a relatively new and exciting area for modeling.
