Show HN: A voxel design tool built on the top of CSS transformations
- vityaz_ 10y agoGetting flashbacks of the Sim City 3000 building architect tool.
- phkahler 10y agoRendering errors. Build up, then out, then change color and click around at random.
- otsdr 10y agoYou probably dragged by mistake, revealing the missing backfaces.
- fatiherikli 10y agoI can reproduce it, thank you. I'll work on that.
- jwtadvice 10y agoSimilarly if you click on one point continuously it creates "non-physical" topologies and overlapping blocks. But seriously, really cool work. Excited about the future of CSS with VR, 3D displays, etc.
- delinka 10y agoCute, but perhaps incomplete? If I leave the POV right where it is, and if I plan my artwork correctly, maybe I can build something. But if after I start, I decide I need to hang a voxel off the other side of an existing voxel, I spin the view around, the voxels have no back side that I can select to attach against.
- throwaway2016a 10y agoThat could happen even if you just want an overhang on the back side. The tool should handle this case but as a workaround you could always lay out voxels as scaffolding then delete them.

- mnutt 10y agoThis is neat, and reminds me of http://www.themaninblue.com/experiment/Cubescape/new.php http://www.themaninblue.com/experiment/Cubescape/new.php circa 2010. Very clever uses of css.
- NetOpWibby 10y agoThis is nice. Had some issues when moving the scene but still, a nice V1. I'd love something like this for three.js.
- beaconstudios 10y agosame here - a three.js implementation could help with adding rotation, translation and zooming.
- greggman 10y agoCute but just in case this is an extremely inefficient way to display this kind of data both inefficient in speed and in memory. It also fails in firefox because the algorithms for sorting 3D css are not specified. Or if they've have been finally firefox hasn't implemented them. And, even if they have been specified that just adds more crazy work the browser would have to do what a canvas 2d or webgl solution would not
- rvdm 10y agoI like the clean UI.
- dyeje 10y agoAre the missing faces on the cubes on purpose?
- Retr0spectrum 10y agoAre you using Firefox? I have the same issues, and I believe it's caused by CSS z-order bugs in Firefox. Edit: possibly this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=810685 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=810685
- bobwaycott 10y agoSeeing the same issue in Safari 10 on Sierra.
- eridius 10y agoThere's no way to delete cubes in Safari. Control-click just adds a cube like regular click does.
