Object will not become voxel

So not sure what I am doing wrong. I used a basic test file object and tried to convert it to a voxel and from what I understand the object when it becomes a voxel will change to a different shade. However I am getting different results. I have tried a number of different objects and am wondering what the issue might be.

I can load straight 3DC files that are voxels no problem. Any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks.

After you click Apply, choose another tool (Grow for example). Then got to Shaders tab (right beside VoxTree tab) and change shader type to whatever you like. Be sure that the layer with your vox object is active.

That's it. Have fun :)

You need to ensure there is enough resolution on the Volume your merging too. look at the estimated poltcount of the object in the merge options. 139 thats not going to be enough so either scale up the object or Res up the volume

Either increase the res of the VoxTree Layer like Leigh said or scale up the imported model before pressing Enter to create the voxels. Both ways work, if you scale it you can also see a preview of how many polys it will be in the Merge panel while you're scaling it. There is also the Auto Scale button which should give you enough polys for the detail you need, but I still like to scale it up just a bit after hitting that.
