Avoyd 0.26 - Mesh Optimisation and Export Voxels to glTF for Games

Avoyd Voxel Editor introduces export to optimised glTF and obj:

• Export to optimised glTF binary mesh .glb is for game developers wanting to load their voxel assets as standard 3D meshes into game engines like Unreal, Godot or Unity.
  • Documentation: Export to glTF binary mesh .glb.
  • Video tutorial: Export Voxels to glTF for Unreal Nanite
  • Technical post covering the specificities of exporting for Unreal Nanite and how Avoyd optimises meshes for games: Export Voxels to Optimised glTF Mesh for Unreal Nanite.
  • The glTF exporter is exclusive to the INDIE and PRO licences.
• Export to .obj new Best optimisation option performs the same whole mesh optimisation as when exporting to glTF. The .obj mesh optimisation is similar to what the tutorial ‘Optimising Voxel Meshes for Games Using Blender’ produces. It is included in Avoyd Free.

We’ve made major improvements to:

• Atmosphere volumetric shadows in the path traced renderer.
• Performance when loading .vox files with a large number of parts.

We’ve introduced a new licence tier and put the game development on hold. You’ll find more information in our post ‘Avoyd Voxel Editor new Licences and Independent Store’.

If you bought Avoyd before 10 Feb 2025, we’ve upgraded you to the more expensive PRO licence as a thank you to our early supporters.
