TheChosenEvilOne, a member of C&C Mod Haven Discord channel, has been working recently on a fork of Goxel (originally made by guillaumechereau), which is a free open source volumetric model editor. Unlike the original version of the program, TheChosenEvilOne's version can load and edit .vxl file format from Westwood Studios. It can also use the Westwood palettes as well, at least few of them loads by default. Here's a picture of the program taken by tomsons26:

If you are as skilled as tomsons26, you can make some good edits of Westwood voxels, like the demo truck below:

Anyway, here's the changelog from TheChosenEvilOne's fork so far:

Quote:

### Added
- Normal rendering, loading and writing. (TheChosenEvilOne)
- Cross section editing. (TheChosenEvilOne)
- Palette picker. (TheChosenEvilOne)
- "Game View" ortho camera option. (tomsons26)
- Importing palettes from vxls during import is now an option. (TheChosenEvilOne)
- "New" image button. (TheChosenEvilOne)
- Shortcuts for changing palette index. (Not set by default) (TheChosenEvilOne)
- RA2 palettes uniturb, unitsno and a fully grey palette "Grey Palette". (TheChosenEvilOne)

### Fixed
- Fuzzy select works now. (TheChosenEvilOne)

### Changes
- Moving the camera using arrow keys is now slightly slower. (tomsons26)
- Default material and render settings now fit better. (tomsons26)

Goxel can be downloaded here, however, due to the unreliability of this link, I've taken the opportunity to mirror it at PPM. Have fun and happy voxelling!

I thought I've posted about it last year, but I will make a new post about it once Carnival is over (in Brazil).

Eh it's no biggie, I'm not entirely serious. It's unpolished anyway so no point in bringing it to front.

Goxel... Hum, this means that we can actually make voxels for RA2YR with this app now? Or just edit existing voxels, I saw a few videos and felt like is easier to use then VXLSE... If that so I probably move to Goxel instead.

Late but screenshot representative of it to replace my photoshop mockup on how the cross section tool should exist.
