Qubicle 3.0 Documentation
Qubicle is an easy to learn 3D editor based on voxels.
Though modeling with voxels is way easier than the more conventional approach of manipulating vertices of a 3D mesh, starting a new tool and looking at all the buttons can be quite daunting. Qubicle is no different in that regard. But don’t worry, this documentation is here to help. And don’t forget: a lot of buttons may indicate a lot of power. Let’s find out!
This documentation is mostly based on Qubicle’s main menu. So, if you have a question on a menu entry you will quickly find it in the navigation on the left.
