Few Questions: * Who's https://twitter.com/ephtracy https://twitter.com/ephtracy? Why did you create this? How are you using it this days? Are you making any games with this? * How do you produce images like this? [1] Is the Ray Tracer to do that built in or do you have to import the models in a second software? * What kind of support is there for the vox file format? (where/how to render outside the app). 1: http://ephtracy.github.io/image/snap2016-07-02-17-16-08.png http://ephtracy.github.io/image/snap2016-07-02-17-16-08.png 2: https://github.com/ephtracy/voxel-model https://github.com/ephtracy/voxel-model

It has a built in renderer, or you can export to other tools (e.g. Unity3D) if you want more control of rendering or to be able to rotate/deform the models. I see Export options for: obj, ply, mc, xraw, slab, qb, vox, iso and 2d.

  Closed source + anonymous source = recipe for malware. I recommend running this in a sandbox of some kind.

    @ephtracy has been developing it for over 5 years. I understand why you might be concerned but that's a lot of time to invest creating a niche piece of software in order to launch a malware attack. If it was new today I might share your concern.
