Particubes - voxel editor 4+

Almost Perfect

I am working on an animation and needed something to design the sets with. I tried CAD programs and a home design/blueprint app, but they were too hard to use and overqualified for my purposes. I tried a Minecraft knockoff, and realized I had to mine my materials in order to build, so I deleted that too.

This app, on the other hand, is beautiful. The controls are simple; it took me only ten minutes to learn. I like the grid on/off feature, so I can see exactly where I’m placing the blocks. The light source feature is useful for illuminating small details on a particular side of the object. The photo option is amazing for getting camera angles. I haven’t used it yet, but I also appreciate the fact that you can export the project into three different formats (which I may do in the future, if it suits my needs).

Moving around is a little clunky, but that’s probably because I’m trying to maneuver on the inside of a hollow object (I’ll glitch through walls, and suddenly speed out of the building’s offices at times); but if I try hard enough, I can get the camera angles I want.

I do wish there were a color wheel/spectrum where you can custom-make your own colors, as opposed to using a palette; but I’m going to be tracing over everything anyway, so it’s not that big of a deal.

Overall, it is a wonderful app; and I would definitely recommend it to others.

best voxel maker on ios

idk about other platforms but this definitely takes the cake for ios, it’s extremely simplistic and clean, the camera angles are easy to use and the colors enforce creativity. And it has a few other little features like lighting and background. However, i really wish i could 3D print my creation from this app. I am unsure about the .vox thingy and if that program can 3D print or not but please add this if you can.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your review! :)

We implemented .vox export first because it allows you to import creations in Magicavoxel (free editor on Mac & Windows). From there, you can then export to many different formats.

That being said, 3D printing from within the app is really something we would like to support one day!

Love the app, but it could use more color options

I love this app, it’s great for making voxel art and it’s incredibly user friendly.

The camera is very easy to work with, the models being exportable is really helpful, and it’s very fun to mess around with this app when I’m bored.

However, I think it’d be cool if there was a much wider array of colors. Perhaps a feature that allows the user to use a photo on their device as the color palette or something like that? Actually in particular that exact feature, as well as a color slider. Basically, I’m suggesting that more colors should be added, and that a feature that allows you to use a photo on your device as the palette should also be added. Both of these features would make me give the app a 5 star rating. As it stands it gets a 4 star rating.

Anyway that’s the review.

And to the devs if you’re reading this: Nice work on the app, I used it to create my profile pic on Twitter, thanks for making a free app that doesn’t feature ads or micro transactions, you’re totally awesome and legendary in my book for doing that.
