Turn 2D Pixel Art
Into Flawless 3D Voxels.
The Cinema 4D plugin that automates your voxel workflow. No stretched UVs. No texture bleeding. No manual slicing. Just clean geometry, pinned to every pixel.
Native C4D tools weren't made for voxels.
Extruding pixel art with Cinema 4D's default tools gives you stretched textures, bleeding colors on side walls, and broken meshes. Hours of manual cleanup for something the software should just do.
Texture bleeding on the side walls. Colors blurred across pixel edges. Manual UV surgery required.
Every pixel pinned to its exact UV center. Clean side walls. No bleed. Ready to render.
Built for pixel artists. Tuned for
3D.
Manual Voxel Engine
Custom extrusion logic that pins every pixel to its exact UV center. The result: zero texture bleeding on any axis, guaranteed.
Alpha & Luma Culling
Automatically deletes empty or transparent pixels based on Alpha or Luma thresholds. Scenes stay light. Polycounts stay honest.
One-Click Weld & Clean
Weld points, optimize geometry, and output a production-ready mesh in a single click — fully centered at world origin.
Auto Grid Detection
Auto-calculates Nx/Ny from UV data. Drop any texture — from 16×16 Minecraft skins to 256×256 sprites — and it just works.
PNG → 3D in Seconds
Item Extrude mode takes any raw PNG and spits out a voxel model, materialized and centered. No plane setup, no manual UV.
Non-Destructive Options
Toggle Auto-Center Axis, N-gon cleanup, and extrude depth per run. Iterate without committing until the mesh is right.
One plugin. Two workflows.
Pick the one that matches your scene — or use both in the same project.
Texture Extrude
Slice and extrude an existing textured plane. Ideal for Minecraft skins, game sprites, and any 2D asset that already has UVs.
- → Auto-calculate Nx/Ny from UV data
- → Enable Culling by Alpha or Luma thresholds
- → Weld & clean mesh in one extra click
Item Extrude
Drop a raw PNG — get a clean 3D voxel item, auto-materialized and centered at world origin. Perfect for swords, pickaxes, potions.
- → Browse any PNG from disk
- → Define pixel size and extrude depth
- → Optional N-gon cleanup toggle
Ship-ready meshes.
Right out of the box.
Pixel-art sprite → voxel slice, with preserved colors on every face.
Raw PNG → centered voxel model via Item Extrude, ready to light.
From PNG to final mesh in
under 30 seconds.
- 01
Open the plugin from the Extensions menu
Pick Texture Extrude (for textured planes) or Item Extrude (for raw PNGs).
- 02
Set your grid, depth, and culling thresholds
Or leave the defaults on — they're tuned for standard pixel-art ratios.
- 03
Hit Apply, then Weld & Clean
Two clicks. You get a voxel mesh with perfect UVs, ready to render or export.

Frequently asked.
Which Cinema 4D versions are supported?▾
PolyBit 404 runs on Cinema 4D R23 and newer (including S24, S26, 2023, 2024, 2025). Both Windows and macOS.
How is this different from C4D's native Extrude?▾
Native Extrude stretches UVs across the new side walls, causing color bleed between pixels. PolyBit's engine slices per-pixel and pins each voxel to its exact UV center — no bleeding, ever.
Does it work with Minecraft skins and textures?▾
Yes — that's one of its main use cases. Drop a 64×64 skin or a 16×16 item texture and it builds the voxel mesh with clean alpha culling automatically.
Can I use it for commercial work?▾
Yes. The license covers personal and commercial use. What's not allowed is redistributing or reselling the plugin itself.
Do I get future updates for free?▾
Yes — one payment includes lifetime updates for PolyBit 404, including compatibility with new Cinema 4D releases.
What if it doesn't work on my machine?▾
Reach out directly to the developer (Pedro Ribeiro / Pepeu 404) within 7 days and you'll get a full refund — no questions asked.
Do I need to know Python or scripting?▾
No. PolyBit 404 is a GUI plugin. Install it, open the panel from the Extensions menu, click the buttons. That's it.
How do I install it?▾
Unzip the folder, drop it inside your Cinema 4D plugins directory, restart C4D. The plugin shows up under Extensions. Full tutorial included in the download.
