Hi Everyone! Voxtober is finally here!!! Have you seen some of the great voxel creations being created already for Inktober? There are so many cool ideas for different themes going out. We definitely wanted to have something to join in on the fun this fall. We took a little longer than expected to have our next jam because we are hard at work on a new voxel app, but we made a quick jam for everyone to show off some of the great creations they made for Voxtober!

This year, the fall season and Halloween will be very different, but it can still be totally awesome. Lets show the world how cool it can be using voxels!

Mega Voxel Jam Schedule

Mega Voxel Jam Challenge

This jam will consist of a single challenge that you can enter. This Jam’s theme is very simple: Voxtober. Remember you can only submit one submission for this jam. We feel really good about this month’s lineup because of all the cool pieces you all have already made. Read on to view the rest of the details.

Challenge: Voxtober

This challenge is one I’ve been looking forward to all year. To remake the spooky and exciting world of Voxtober using voxels. Make a voxel creation that symbolizes what Voxtober means to you. I have already seen some great voxel models out there for this month. In this challenge make your own spooky halloween model or a symbol of the fall season to be a part of the fun! For this challenge you can use a previously created model.

  • Challenge: Voxtober
  • Theme: Fall, Halloween, Autumn
  • Challenge Constraints: No size or model limit but must be a single scene. However please provide some close ups if the scene is really big.
  • Eligible Voxel Software:
  • Tips: To get the best score make something that represents what Voxtober means to you!
