I ended up making two macros - one to orbit, which I bound to (f1) and one to pan which I bound to (f2) - panning was accomplished by adding a "press spacebar" command before the mouse click in QuicKeys You can use these macros to orbit in any direction or pan up/down/left/right. Bring up MagicaVoxel and press your f1 key - the view should move just slightly. This setup is dependent on your MagicaVoxel window position, so I maximized my MagicaVoxel app to give me the most working room. Obviously you'll need to adjust the starting and ending coordinates from my example depending on your monitor size - I'd suggest using the "Set Location" button for the Click Location, then copying and adjusting by 1px for the Release Location. I opted for the simplest setup I could - my macro would run when the "f1" key was pressed and would drag the mouse from a point on my monitor to 1 pixel to the left. With QuickKeys downloaded and installed, I needed to create a few macros to move the MagicaVoxel camera around. As a sidenote, I generally hate using third party programs like this, especially for one-off processes, so if anyone has a better way to script mouse movements, I'd love to hear about it - hit me up on twitter. Its available here, or you can just do what I did and google "osx automate mouse" and follow stackoverflow to the program.

The program has a 30-day free trial, and I've been pleased with it so far. The workaround that I found was to bring in another app, one with a little better keyboard/mouse scripting - QuicKeys. The problem, I quickly discovered was that Applescript seems to have a bug where it sends a "A" keystroke if you try to send a key down command - no matter what input I sent to MagicaVoxel, the camera would only pan left as though the "A" key was pressed. I tried for quite some time to do this using the built in WSAD camera controls, sending keystrokes to MagicaVoxel using AppleScript.
To begin, I needed a way to have the MagicaVoxel camera move between renders. I'm working on improving it, but please take note that this workflow is a work in progress. Disclaimer: I'm using OSX El Capitan, MagicaVoxel 0.97, and a program called "QuicKeys" v 4.0.7 to create the animations - your milage may vary with different versions.ĭisclaimer 2: This method is janky as hell.
