Build your shape
Place, erase, extrude and mirror. Start from editable primitives or generate terrain, trees and caves.
The desktop boxel editor
It roxels.

The editor
A whole workshop for little worlds.
Start with a cube. Shape it, paint it, and make it your own.
Find the finish
Paint individual faces. Mix metal, glass and glowing materials, then light the scene and render it.
Take it into your game
Export .glb for Unity or Godot, .obj and .stl for other tools, or .vox for another voxel workflow.
Like to tinker? Boxel also has local scripting controls for building, painting, animating and capturing your work.
Why boxels?
Think Minecraft blocks.
Grass on top. Dirt on the sides.
Different faces, same block.
Minecraft's grass block already gets the idea. In Boxel, every little cube can have a different color and material on each of its six faces.
Paint eyes on a character, rings on the end of a log, or books on a shelf. The detail lives on the faces.
Bark on the sides.
Wood everywhere else.
Built and face-painted in Boxel.
One boxel. Six faces.
Each with its own material.
A little life in your model
Give the parts
some personality.
A head that tilts. An arm that bends. A tiny hello.
- Build in parts
- Keep the head, hands and other pieces editable. Parent them together in the scene hierarchy.
- Put the pivot where it belongs
- Rotate a door on its hinge or an arm at its shoulder. Set the joint, then make the pose.
- Turn poses into motion
- Add keyframes on the timeline. Preview the movement, adjust the timing, and export animation with the model.
Meet Froggy. Play his greeting or inspect him from the front and back.
Learn by making
Your first project
has a guide.
Meet Patch, a practice bot with a few things to fix. Open Learn in the editor and work through them together.
- Watch it happen. See a tool at work in your actual workspace.
- Take your turn. Place, paint, select and undo. The lesson checks what you made.
- Keep your work. Lessons use a temporary document. Your own project returns when you finish.
Eleven guided projects, from your first boxel to exporting a model.
