## What it is
Goxel is a free and open-source 3D voxel editor for creating graphics made of cubes. It supports layers, unlimited undo, procedural rendering, ray tracing, and export to formats like obj, png, MagicaVoxel, and Qubicle.

## Use cases
- create 3d voxel art
- edit voxel models
- build voxel scenes for games
- export voxel art to obj or magica voxel
- make 3d pixel art with cubes

## When to choose
- you want a free, cross-platform voxel editor
- you need unlimited scene size and undo history
- you want to export voxel art to common 3D formats

## When to avoid
- you need general polygon mesh modeling
- you require MSVC builds or non-GPL licensing without a commercial agreement

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: graphics, gui, image-processing
- domain: graphics, cross-platform
- platform: windows, bsd, cross-platform
- tags: voxel-editor, 3d-graphics, voxel-art, marching-cubes, ray-tracing, opengl, game-development, linux, macos, android, ios, desktop
