Author: tibmaker
Requirements:
XCC
All your PCX files
It isn't that hard to do but it is really long. First you must create you PCXs. To make a voxel out of PCXs you have to make each PCX a vertical (up and down) layer of the unit. The average is anywhere from 20-30 layers. That means you will be doing a lot! I recommend using Flash or some other program to align everything up in the exact center. After you have your PCXs done you must open XCC and goto that directory where you stored them. Then you select them in order and click Copy As Voxel. And after that you got yourself a voxel.

hi, I have a website, and I would like to put this up in the tutorials erm... section of the site. But of coarse I need your permission first, and no worries, you will get credit, and I can even link to your e-mail and website (haven't looked at your site yet, but I may be interested in affiliating as long as its c&c related)

Too bad, that a voxel section created by XCC Mixer, can NOT be moved ("translated") in .hva editor anymore.

Its also worth noting that a voxel made this way will have absolutly no normals whatsoever, and will look terrible, auto-normals is your best bet but they aren't brilliant either

The XCC created voxels seems to be different than those made with true voxel programs. Even opening and saving them with one of these programs doesn't "fix" the it, the hva editor problem is still there.

I know, however, another way to resize voxels..Wink

VxlUtil can rescale voxels, changing the ingame size without changing the image itself.

Yes that's the way i meant, Seaman. and to Turalyon, content resize only supports multiples of 2, so it's pretty useless most of the time.
