Voxel Studio · Characters

Characters workspace

The Characters workspace is a catalog and editor for rigged voxel characters. Each character is a tree of bones, with a voxel mesh attached to every bone node. Characters are driven by rig templates (see Rig Templates) so any animation authored on a rig template automatically works on every character that uses the same rig.

Categories

Seeded characters are grouped by type:

  • Humanoid - hero, woman, boy, girl, orc, troll, goblin, minotaur, skeleton, zombie.
  • Creature - cat, cow, pig, puma, lion, tiger, rhino, elephant, tortoise, giraffe.
  • Monster - custom-designed aggressive NPCs.
  • Boss - oversized bosses.
  • Mount - rideable creatures.
  • Prop - animatable props that share the character rig system.
  • Dragon - seeded under the quadruped rig but with wings, horns and fangs.

Viewer

The right-hand viewer renders the selected character. Rotate with drag, zoom with scroll. If no rendered thumbnail is available, an SVG stick-figure placeholder is used.

Actions

  • Edit - open the Character Editor.
  • Duplicate - create a private copy.
