It's 2023, are you still worrying about modeling? Don't worry, let's take a look at the new artifact from the master who created the voxel modeling artifact Magica Voxel ! This is what makes modeling easier than ppt - Magica CSG ! The editor is a pure modeling novice, and he can already start making things in less than half a day, can you believe it?
Without further ado, let me give you a brief introduction to today's artifact.
Software Description
This is a new modeling software developed by the author who previously created the voxel modeling artifact Magica Voxel. It is easy to make 3d objects and add light and shadow to them at the same time.
Download and install the latest version of Magica CSG 0.01
Introduction
When we open the software, we can see several functional areas. Since it is an English version, the editor roughly divides the main functions into these 3 areas according to my own understanding.
The following editor will show you how to use each function in detail.
graphics setting area
The upper left corner of the graphic setting area is the graphic shape setting. There are presets such as circle, square, triangle, polygon, etc., and you can directly click to convert the shape.
When multiple shapes are desired, we can select the graphic and use Ctrl c to copy the graphic directly, and Ctrl V to paste the layer. Or use the + and - symbols in the Stroke column on the left to add or remove shapes.
When we have two or more shapes, we can create more shapes by adding or subtracting~
The following color is obviously the color setting. The color can adjust the hue, saturation, and lightness by itself, isn’t it very convenient and diverse~
Magica CSG's processing of shapes is also quite powerful. If you don't believe me, look at this fusion effect.
The function of setting rounded corners for shapes is also available. Isn't this the 3D version of the rounded corner tool?
The Round function can make the graphics round and chubby~
Changing the shape into a cone only needs to adjust the parameters.
preview area
The picture is ready, we have to see the effect, here we come to our preview area ~ remember to open the small icon in the lower right corner when making adjustments, and then click to rotate it, you can see the effect of different perspectives.
This icon can quickly zoom in and check the details. Of course, we can automatically zoom in and zoom out the view by sliding the mouse wheel.
This small triangle is also a color setting. After selecting a color, click the swatch icon on the left to apply it directly to the graphic.
position regulation area
Now we come to our position adjustment area. Since manual adjustment is more convenient, inputting values here is more suitable for more precise position movement.
Manual adjustment can be adjusted by directly selecting the auxiliary frame on the graph, which is more convenient than adjusting parameters one by one.
Finished product export
How can we make it work better after we do it? Next comes the rendering phase. Click Render, and the color settings below can adjust the color and intensity of the light source, which is really powerful!
After the production is completed, the camera icon in the lower left corner is a PNG image that can directly save the current effect. (A small tip: When saving, remember to turn off the ground auxiliary line and perspective map~)

Let's take a look at what friends who have already downloaded have made with Magica CSG~
Precautions
The software is only available in English and has no Chinese interface. Currently, only the Windows version is available for download. The software has just been released, and there may be some functions that the editor has not discovered, so I leave it to everyone to explore together! Looking forward to your works~
That's all for the introduction, download and use it quickly, I don't allow anyone to miss it! !
