Turn 3D scans of real places into Teardown maps

Early Access heist adventure Teardown is currently one of the most popular games on Steam, and for good reason. Not only does it let you successfully pull off a heist by just smashing every obstacle in your way, it looks like you can also chuck in maps built from 3D scans of real places. 

Voxel artist mode_vis, who has made several shaders for the voxel art editor MagicaVoxel, notes that you may not even need to be much of a voxel artist to make your own Teardown levels—as long as you have a 3D map of a place, you can convert it into a vox file for MagicaVoxel using a tool called FileToVox.

Another twitter has summer 2021.

Still, it is a cool idea to tinker with, and I immediately got lost on the MagicaVoxel Community twitter feed, showcasing beautifully intricate voxel art that would be fun to play in (and er, destroy.)
