This program is not ready to do anything avoid purchase if. 1-If you want a small map with low polys every map {even the ones with limited map size} will have minimum 600.000 polygons 2- No unity export {at the moment} If you put a price tag of 37+ Euros, at least have that ready 3- you can only export the terrain to obj Thats cool, but you will have 2.000 individual ground Obj... 200 grass...600 trees and to top that of for some reason my OBJs dont have textures so all that i have is a gray mesh [the no textures issue is maybe my fault] FBX would help, but its not ready yet. 4-Program may need a more powerful system than the recommended {min requirements} 5-videos look cool, but in the software you dont have that much control if you compare this to Voxel Farm 2015 6-I dont recomend this if you want to do movies in maya {for example}, otherwise if its for games it can work. Never in my steam life i have reviewed a product/game, but this software frustrated me so much i jus...

I requested a refund for one simple reason. OBJ export is broken. Otherwise the software has promise. Here is reason stated to customer support: The developer does not seem to understand that his OBJ exports from Geovox will not work properly for several reasons. There is no proper linking between the mtls and the objs and the OBJs have impromper UV maps...they are unified. In support documents he states that the UV maps can be generated in the 3D software, but this defeats the entire purpose of generating the textures within the software itself. here is the forum post which supports this: http://steamcommunity.com/app/368470/discussions/0/537405286657721456/ Why would I bother texturing WITHIN Geovox if I have to remap all my UVs in another software? If this is fixed I might even purchase this software again, but as it stands it is unuseable as it is described. edit: purchased again now that its on sale. its worth $13 as a standalone terrain sculptor. hoping they sort out ...
What the hell is this? Spent 3 hours making a terrain and figuring it out how the hell to export to Unity only to find out that ....: You can't import custom textures which HONESTLY should be a given considering this is labeled as "software" for game developers. Do game developers not use original assets or what? Yeah yeah I know, I read you could always just go and create a Unity3d package on Unity and then "import" (more like use the explorer/finder to copy your files to the corresponding directory...) that into GeoVox. Hell, I spent like 2 hours googling how the fuck to pack a Unity3d package since EVERYTIME I try to create and export a package it'll be set to "unityPackage" as opposed to "Unity3d". How did i come to realize the absence of such a basic feature? Well... Cause I was trying to change the specular and normal maps of one of my voxel types and ended up realizing that EVERYTIME that I import a scene into Unity the materials loose the specular channel resulting i...
20 years of tool and game development experience gives me this opinion... 'Basically, this tool feels and appears like it wants to be a big boy tool made for the little guys.. but in the end, it serves no one correctly..*YET*. There is a potential here to morph this into a tool that many many people would want...but the question is; do the devs have the experience and knowledge to evolve this into what it is expected to be ? ..and then go beyond that into being the best tool to find within its' ranges of purpose ? - I'm going to guess 'not with their current plans and knowledge as well as experience'. ..but if they find the right couple of people to add to their team, the sun *could* shine on these guys and make this a true $50 component tool. Currently IMO, it's an overly-made $15 specialty-niche tool that ignores all but one market. ..'Features only matter if they matter. *shrugs* @Developers.. I hope you'll find the time to look into the areas that are holding you guys back ...
Complete waste of money, thankfully I got it refunded.
Sorry, it surely did look better in the video than the real thing. I am never going near it again. But for those that put the whole day to GeoVox, might have a small chance of succeeding. But most stuff on here is broken... and seriously laggy.
Amazing! Ten minutes in and I have made a more fantastic terrain than with any other software. Definitely a must have for game developers, or even anyone who just wants to play around and make stuff. I can already see myself and other people spending many, many hours with this!
i got this on sale for 9.99 and it even then was not worth it .. problems when exporting there is a moderate to high chance of crashes the terrains are NOT UV unwrapped which makes it useless for using in other 3d applications no native support for Blender Cycles node setup -Dealbreaker incase you are wondering what my system specs are here they are Intel i7 4790k @ 4.2ghz 32gb RAM DDR3 @ 1600mhz GTX 980ti 6gb Windows 8.1 64bit i checked the ammount of RAM i was using for exporting and it never breached 8 gb and still crashed when trying to export "high resolution, Grass, Prefabs(trees water) Textures, heightmap" if my issues were fixed i would reccomend but seeing as i doubt it will be even looked at (last update was not that recent) dont buy and save your money and spend just a tad bit of time making the terrains yourself as this application will only increase your workload not decrease it this requires compatibility with Blender Cycles nodes and the "memory" issue needs to ...
unusable currently like standalone in a production
Garbage. Refunded.
