Our verdict on Solid Editor

Solid Editor is a desktop voxel graphics editor developed within Solid Engine's asset pipeline. It is intended primarily for small teams and indie game development projects creating game-ready voxel assets. The free plan provides direct three-dimensional editing, real-time WYSIWYG previews through Solid Engine's path tracer, selection-based editing, and previewable effects before changes are applied. An optional webcam-based Ball Pointer adds an alternative 3D pointing input method.

The editor's main strength is its focused editing workflow. Users can work directly in three dimensions, select areas for edits, and preview effects before applying them. This combination suits creators who want immediate visual feedback while shaping voxel assets rather than a broader toolset centered on animation or general 3D production. The published product information describes the editor as an early version, so its current scope is narrower than a full voxel production suite.

Pricing follows a freemium model. A free plan is available, while Solid Editor Pro starts at 10 and adds replies to support questions, bug reports, and feature requests within 48 hours, along with prioritized bug reports and feature requests. The editor is distributed for 64-bit Windows and Linux systems. Animation support and MagicaVoxel import/export are described as roadmap items, which makes Solid Editor a better fit for direct voxel modeling and preview-led editing than for animation workflows or projects that depend on MagicaVoxel file exchange. Choose it for a focused, real-time voxel editor; choose an alternative if those roadmap capabilities are central to your pipeline.
