VOXELS -- coding

VOXEL CODING

Matt Berman points to a Google program -- Voxel Toy Box.  Apparently this is not really an online app, but rather a program that Gemini 3 generated in code from scratch. One can also modify this program and download it, for their own purposes.
I generated a javelina in voxels in the Voxel Toy Box, but it just output a json file.  I could not find out how to convert a json file into a GLB object -- at first:


I asked for a voxel javelina,
but could not figure out how to convert
 the json file into a GLB file


HOWEVER, as this was actually a Gemini 3 program (rather than an online program), I just asked to modify it so I could download a GLB file -- and that WORKED!

DOWNLOAD Voxleina.GLB (381.08 KB)

  • I had to upload and download the GLB result in Blender to get the old Paint 3D to accept it (and that inflated the GLB file from 81 to 382 KB)
I downloaded the program, but it would not work locally in my browser.  However Google offered to host it, for a price:

Other Voxel Programs:

PEPAKURA

I thought the simple Minecraft Voxel shapes would print out nicely in PEPAKURA, to laser cut into paper and make 3D paper sculptures:

I am not sure how PEPAKURA would output the image on the right side
to then cut and reassemble
 into a 3D physical paper javelina

So I downloaded PEPAKURA to experiment. I had to first convert the GLB file into an OBJ object. I thought the output (on the right, above) would be a little more straight forward to print out and cut.  However I did not pay for PEPAKURA, so perhaps it would not generate the ultimate cuttable file.

I expected to generate something more like the image below, which I hoped might laser cut and reassemble into a 3D paper object:

I expected an output more like this



AI ART

Z Image is a new Chinese image generator, competing with Nano Banana Pro, that can be run locally and use LoRAs.
This Chinese image generator program is supposed to be uncensored, however the online demo program would not generate a drawing of a nude model, and gave me this image below instead:

The online demo version
was censored

Pinokio has developed into a "one click localhost cloud," in addition to offering programs.  The programs are packages that can be downloaded and run on a local server.
