 `bevy_vox_scene` is forked from the excellent [`bevy_vox_mesh` crate](https://crates.io/crates/bevy_vox_mesh).

+- To modify entities within a scene hierarchy using scene hooks, see the [`modify-scene` example](/examples/modify-scene.rs).
 - If you want glowing emissive voxels, add an HDR and bloom-enabled camera. See the [`emissive-model` example](/examples/emissive-model.rs).
 - Enabling Screen-Space Ambient Occlusion can give your voxel scenes more pop. See the [`ssao-model` example](/examples/ssao-model.rs).
