## What it is
vengi is a free, open-source, multi-platform collection of voxel art tools, including a voxel editor with animation support (voxedit), a command-line format converter, and a file manager thumbnailer. It supports loading and saving many voxel volume formats and exporting to mesh formats like OBJ and PLY.

## Use cases
- create and edit voxel models with animation support
- convert voxel files between formats like MagicaVoxel, Qubicle, and Minecraft
- export voxel models to obj or ply mesh files
- generate thumbnails for voxel files in a file manager
- batch modify voxel volumes from the command line
- build voxel assets for games or Minecraft-style worlds

## When to choose
- you need a free, cross-platform voxel editor with animation support
- you must convert or batch-process voxel files across many formats
- you want to export voxel art to mesh formats for game engines
- you prefer open-source alternatives to MagicaVoxel or Qubicle

## When to avoid
- you need a polished commercial voxel tool with a large asset ecosystem
- you only need 2D pixel art editing
- you require a web-only editor with the latest features (the online version lags behind)

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: image-processing, cli, gui, graphics, file-system
- domain: graphics, developer-tools, cross-platform
- platform: windows, cross-platform, cli, browser
- tags: voxel-editor, voxel-art, format-converter, thumbnailer, animation, minecraft, magicavoxel, qubicle, voxel-formats, game-development, linux, macos
