For this IвЂ™m just doing a simple one leg table. To begin, I will be doing a simple table. (Just remember that your one voxel higher from the ground, but if you forget there is a quick fix). For this, I made the front corners be green (the side thatвЂ™s facing the Z-axis) and the back corners red.ДЄnother thing that would make life a bit easier is to add a layer of voxels on the ground so you can see where the grid is at. Since the corners are rarely used, this helps in showing where your limit is. To accommodate for that, what I do is remove everything except I leave the corners up. When creating your model the only issue is when you remove the block to start from scratch, itвЂ™s hard to see where the sides are at. Also the only down-size of Magica is that there is no grid on the ground or sides, but you can create a grid on the surface of the model by opening the tab вЂњLineвЂќ listed under the вЂњBrushвЂќ column and then clicking on the вЂњGвЂќ button.

This is good to prevent making your model getting bigger than the size limit, while others donвЂ™t like this idea I actually prefer it. The thing about Magica is that it wonвЂ™t let you create anything out of the volume size. This will solve the orientation problem.Д¬reating is the fun part.

But before or after your creation is made youвЂ™ll have to flip the x-axis to get it the right way in the game. Or you can create your model, then rotate to the z-axis by going over to the вЂњEditвЂќ column and open the tab that says вЂњRotateвЂќ and press the вЂњYвЂќ button twice. To do this before, all you need to do is work on the other side of the plane, by rotating it. You can do this before or after you do your creation (I prefer to do this after). To solve this problem all you need to do is rotate to the z- axis. The вЂњfrontвЂќ side is the red, this side, when preview in-game, is facing away from the z-axis. This is where the orientation takes place.ДЇor demonstration purpose, I highlighted each side a different color. When you create it, it shows you the whole side of one face. Start off by creating a 12x12x12 model for the Cornerstone decoration.

Orientation can be the most confusing in Magica since it doesnвЂ™t specify exactly what direction is facing.

It also shows you how to create Material Maps. **Quick Note: visit for the Art and Creation Guide. Since Cornerstone decorations needs to face a certain direction, which in this case is the z-axis, this will help you with the orientation aspect. On the bottom towards the middle thereвЂ™s a button with an вЂњiвЂќ circled, click it on it and it tells you what each button does when you highlight over it.ДЇor this tutorial IвЂ™m going to show you how to do a simple Cornerstone decoration.

If there are any other tips and tricks that you think will help then comment and IвЂ™ll update this post. ItвЂ™s really not a hard program to work with, you just have to think about it like if your sculpting a piece of clay, except that youвЂ™re sculpting out square after square. Seeing that many people have questions about using this program, I figured why not make one. Which I donвЂ™t mind it helps to stimulate the mind. I havenвЂ™t seen any tutorial for MagicaVoxel and basically had to figure it out on my own.
