Voxelogic’s Acropora – Procedural Voxel Modeling

May 28th, 2009
Goto comments Leave a comment

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.

    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.
