Out of the many tools available, MagicaVoxel is one of the best. Voxel graphics are a super easy and extremely fast way to create 3D content, and have become extremely popular for this reason. Programmer art is a nice compromise you create a rough concept of the required art and use it as a placeholder until you can get around to making (or paying for) some decent game art. Proper graphics take a very long time to create, and time is something most coders just don’t have. Prototyping apps, especially games, requires graphics - lots of graphics. You stand at the dawn of a new era, where the modern programmer will gift the world with programmer art! Grog and Leonardo would have been proud. From the primitive cave paintings of ancient hominids, to the majesty and grace of such masterpieces as Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa”, art has constantly evolved with time. Since the dawn of time, humans have embraced their inner creativity.
