About

Katachi3D is a voxel-graphics editor, implemented in Python using wxPython and OpenGL.

Backstory

When I wrote this program, I was planning to try my hands at 3D game development again, after years of only developing non-game software. I always found polygonal 3D modelling a challenge, and I had the idea that it might be easier for me to create 3D graphics if I base them on voxel graphics, with topological smoothing. In the end, I haven’t made any games that use voxel graphics made with this editor.

Features

• Multi-platform - Built on Python with WxPython and PyOpenGL
• Four viewports - three for X-, Y- and Z-axis slices, and one 3D rendered preview
• Various tools common in 2D graphics editing - pen, brush, eraser, flood-fill
• Tools taken to the third dimension - volumetric pen, brush, eraser and flood-fill
• Undo/Redo
• Project saving and loading - custom file format
• Voxel layers
• Normal-based mesh smoothing
• Optimized with Cython
• Integrated Python shell
• Open source
