Model 3D Goxel Integration

This is a standalone (non-SDK) implementation for Goxel to import and export voxel images in Model 3D format.

Installation

Download the Goxel repository, and just add this single file to src/formats, then compile by running scons. No modifications required.

Limitations

Since this is a non-SDK, standalone implementation, it does not support all M3D features. Does not support triangle meshes and can't inline textures for example, and it can only save full cubic voxels. This is reasonable since Goxel itself have no support for these. Otherwise supports layers, materials, etc., everything you need in a fully featured voxel editor.

When compiled with the M3D_SAVE_GOXSPEC define, then it also saves some private Goxel specific chunks, like cameras, additional meta layer info, etc., all the things that are saved in a .gox file, just does that more efficiently. By changing the M3D_SAVE_PREVIEW define at the beginning of the file, it will also save 2D preview chunks into the voxel images.

License

Because this is a Goxel plugin (and Goxel is GPL licensed) therefore this plugin must be GPL licensed too. If this an issue for you, then I've also created a m3d_vox.c file, which contains the same code, except I've removed all Goxel references and interface calls from it (and I've added support for material properties that Goxel can't handle), so this latter file can be, and is MIT licensed, just like the M3D SDK.
