as cool as this is, this is *not* a free technology, its a $500 per month API that developers have to implement, which can only be justified by putting things behind a paywall, so fuck this!!
its also patented, so nobody can make an open source version! https://twitter.com/WhatTheADHD/status/1527617004336820228
Stefan Samociuk (@Protofield) shared some of his Avoyd world files if you're interested in exploring them - download link in his tweet: https://twitter.com/protofield/status/1523973234370265089
He generated them using 3D cellular automata then imported the raw 3D binary arrays in Avoyd

This update adds optional restrictions to the range of codepoints to avoid those too large for unsigned shorts (useful for Dear ImGui), and overlap with ASCII codes:

Many thanks to our patrons and supporters for making our #opensource #gamedev work possible
We've released #Avoyd 0.9.3 to fix an issue where exiting the #voxel editor with changes and then selecting "Yes" to save changes prevented the app from closing. Download: https://www.enkisoftware.com/products
New release of our voxel editor Avoyd:
- Transparency in export to polygon mesh
- Improved graphics level of detail
- Better file handling with drag & drop and .awvr file association

I added support for loading raw binary 8bit voxels to Avoyd for Stefan as it's a really easy format to generate.
A 0 represents empty and 1-255 are mapped to materials which you can configure after import. You specify x & y sizes and z is deduced.
If you're doing any procgen it might be worth checking out Avoyd as a renderer. The import is currently a little slow so let me know if you use it and I might bump up the priority of optimizing it :)
Hello toot friends, I bring #antiLawn memes.
I'm hoping to radicalise you all against the boring monoculture lawn and turn you into biodiversity defenders.
We have a pre-release version of Avoyd available on our Discord announcements channel. Join link: https://discord.gg/CRXP6jNAmG
You can (sort of) verify your identity on Mastodon if you own a website.
1. Go to Edit Profile > Appearance > Profile Metadata, add your website address (including https://) to the metadata section.
2. Copy the verification code into your website's code. (The verification code is next to the Metadata section)
3. Click "Save Changes" after you have done all of the above.
Your website will then be listed on your profile with a green background and a tick next to it, proving you are the owner.
Update on what @dougbinks & I have done so far for the next release of the Avoyd voxel editor:
- Transparent material export to mesh, tested in Blender & Unity
- Export to obj x15 faster
- Files drag and drop for opening and importing (Vox, Minecraft, heightmaps, palettes, 3D binary arrays)
- Hollow shape walls thickness are now absolute: same thickness along all axes

A sincere tip for longtime fediverse people who would like their friends to stick around here longer than a week:
If you're on Mastodon or Hometown, you can click the "bell" icon in the profile of someone you follow. This will make it so that every time they post, it will appear in your notifications like an "@". I am enabling this temporarily for friends so that I remember to interact with them. This is important for making this place feel more lively and helps people stick around!
Our server rules have been updated to include no NFTs:
"No NFTs! NFTs are not about art - they're about money. There are crypto-related instances on the fediverse that would be more suitable. "
Existing NFT creators (there are very very few here) can stay, but will probably feel more at home and reach a bigger audience on a crypto-focused instance where people actually want to see that content.
The European institutions are on Mastodon. You can now follow the European Data Protection supervisor on the social.network.europa.eu instance! Welcome @EDPS :)
@dougbinks is adding drag and drop (files) to #Avoyd (our voxel editing tool & game) and it's looking very promising
