hello  
since i read the book before the update i went straight to the chapter i was interested in  
this was Mr. Pig, wel, to the chapter of making the voxel art  
but after downloading MagicaVoxel and opening it i only get a black screen  
im running MacOX Sierra (the latest version)  
clicking open and selecting a already made example Voxel isn’t working either  
i can try downloading it on windows 10 to, but thats not very handy for me since its on a different computer

This is addressed on the website under the FAQ (Frequently Asked Question)  
[http://voxel.codeplex.com](http://voxel.codeplex.com)

if you get black screen on MacOS, try this:  
extract the whole folder (go to the “MagicaVoxel” applications folder)  
move “MagicaVoxel-mac.app” outside the folder  
move “MagicaVoxel-mac.app” back to the folder again
