Can i add to this I can do

  • 3c Modification of blueprints in MagicaVoxel (WIP)

To edit or change a blueprint in magicvoxel is easy.

To start off you need to use the tool to change the blueprint into a qb.

See chapter 3 for info

when that's done all need to do is open Magicvoxel and just drag and drop the qb into the open program and there u go. 

 

You should now see it.

if it's a long gray block then that part of the model you are using has nothing there and you do not need to edit it just grab and drag a different qb into it 

 Tips to help when using magicvoxel Make a Color palette of all the Material Map so its easy to work when making stuff in it.

One I made For Magicvoxel when i working on mods

This Toolbar is your best friend and you use a lot in magic voxel.

First box the button You only need to use are as followed

(1) Is to full in the model u make with one color very helpful with u need to make the A,T,S BluePrint Parts

(2) Is To Well it says it all Fit the model in a box it's really used  but still helpful

Box 2 You use all of them play around with them. they can be very helpful

Box 3 is helpful in showing Lines around your Model and Give you a Line Grid to Make easier to work with.

Photo link

Box 4 is You Main Tool Box you will use I mostly only use B= Brush but u can use the others if you like to but if this all still new to you keep with B when making anything.

Photo Link

Also If you still cart work out what the rest do Magic Voxel has you cove you can just hover over a button and down below here It tells you what that Button does and Give you the Hotkey for that Button to make even easier

When you are all done with you Model and you need to do is make now in to a QB so How

Well, that's easy you just need to click on this tool block and then click the little qb button and there go also do not forget to name it the blueprint you u edited.

Also, Do not forget to click the save and save as button whenever you fell like u need as there no auto save.

 

 

So there you go happy model/mod making

Also If you still stuck I live stream Making Mods using magicvoxel Most Wednesday Moring my time  Over On Twitch/octarock

 

Enjoy.

 

I hope this helps.
