What’s the difference between Density and Resolution ?<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Suppose that a Voxel object is combined with 10000 small voxel units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Change Density will simply change the object’s scale in the current space(please note each space\/volume has its density). It will not change the number of its voxel unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, decreasing Density twice will result in: Object size will twice as big as the initial, but the number of its voxel unit will not be changed, still keeping 10000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Change Resolution will change the actual number of its voxel unit. For example, a degraded resolution twice will result in: The number of its voxel unit will become less, maybe only 5000 left or even less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can I change the Density and Resolution in Voxel ?<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

1. Change Density is quite easy. Just right-click on the corresponding \u201cVolume\u201d in Sculpt Tree panel, then choose \u201cDecrease object 2X (increase density)\u201d or \u201cIncrease object 2X (decrease density)\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. You can increase the Resolution of the voxel object by clicking the \u201cInc. res\u201d button in the left tool panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right-click on \u201cVolume\u201d, and there is a command named \u201cClone and degrade\u201d, it acts just like a decreased resolution but will create a new object(Volume) instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, Density in Voxel is like Scale in the polygon world. Resolution in Voxel is just like Subdivision in Polygon world. Not exactly, just a comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is an example shown as a picture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. The first picture shows decreased resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/a>2. The second picture shows decreased density.<\/p>\n\n\n

How to have enough voxel density <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Once you got your units setup and have selected the primitive plus set the radius and height, then do this use the Geometry > Res+<\/em> to increase the voxel density of the layer before hitting apply to merging.
It is a little bit of trial and error.
You have to Geometry > Res+<\/em> up to 256x for the voxel layer in order for the .25 x 1 inch cylinder to have enough voxels. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The other settings under the “Geometry menu > define Measurement Units” are your voxels per unit and units scale ( not scene scale).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can change the number of cubic voxels per volume according to your measurements units selected. That way with smaller units you could have more cubic voxel density per volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Res+ in a manner of speaking but prior to import. A setting that would be saved with the file and used for all importing purpose whether from an external file or an internal primitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try resetting voxel per unit and units scale so you could get more voxel density per volume without using Res+. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are importing a model 3DCoat will keep the original scale of the imported object.
Just select the Scale option on Edit > Scale Master <\/em>to keep the original scale when merging.
When you export the model it will be exported at it’s original size. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n

Remember when importing an object into the voxel mode scale the object up large enough to capture all the details.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
