How often do I get to drive a truck into the office?
Outside ofTeardown, most of us will never know the thrill of bombing industrial lots or driving a dump-truck into a billionaire’s mansion. But while I won’t be taking a sledgehammer to my office anytime soon, I can rest easy in the knowledge that I may soon be breaking it down on my desktop - with one programmer showing off a delightfully destructive montage of real-world wreckage inside Tuxedo Labs' digital smashing yards.

That voxellated look also helps mask a lot of the “goopiness” that comes with 3D satellite scans, though resolution tends to fall off the closer you get to any given object. You still need to get your hands dirty once the scan reaches MagicaVoxel, mind - colours need to be assigned from Teardown’s various palettes (controlling what acts like wood, metal, etc), while maps also require an unbreakable bottom layer. I figure there’s a whole load of smaller tweaks to really bring a space together, too.
As a shortcut to letting us plough through old apartments, however, it feels like Mode_vis has opened a very dangerous door indeed. We’ll hopefully see what’s on the other side of it sometime next week.
