Voxel VFX 3D – 244 Pixel-Art Effects for Blender
Is it an add-on?
No. Voxel VFX 3D is an asset library: one .blend file with 244 effect objects in 21 catalogs. Add the folder once in Edit > Preferences > File Paths > Asset Libraries and drag effects from the Asset Browser. Nothing to install or enable.
Does it work in EEVEE and Cycles?
Yes. In EEVEE add a Glare node set to Bloom in the compositor for the glow around the voxels. In Cycles the glowing voxels also light the scene around them.
Can an explosion or hit play just once?
Yes. Every effect loops by default. Turn Loop off on its modifier and it plays once from its Start Frame; Speed changes how fast it plays.
Will many effects slow Blender down?
Set Viewport Simplify to 2 or 3 while you work and LOD Distance to about 10 m in big scenes: far effects then use far fewer cubes, and renders keep full detail. A bigger Voxel Size also cuts the cube count a lot (x2 is about a quarter).
Can I use the effects in commercial work?
Yes: use the effects in your renders, animations and games, including commercial ones. The effects are based on pixelfx by Patch and Hugo Duprez (MIT License); the LICENSE file in the library has the full credits.
