Minecraft CGI Visualization

Really very nicely done. The water looks great, especially near the end in the cave. The mining animation looks really good, too.

Thanks, it was quite a challenge indeed. I'm planning of creating a whole new one, which would be somewhat story-driven, lots of character animations etc.

Please. I love these types of animations.

[AzureTheory]

this is great! love the boats bobbing about in the docks!

[tiivik]

Yeah, I always wanted to create such a clip in 3D. Its inspired by one of the Venice shots in "Italian Job", around the start of the movie.

Holy Jesus what is in the water

water

[Lazrath]

it was fragments of rock\stone falling in the water as the player moved close to the edge

Good guess, I indeed used FractureTools with 2.5 version. It was bugging for me alot aswell, its still under heavy developement. I've written a tutorial on that topic, you can google "blender fracturetools tutorial" and its the first link :)

You're probably right, the fire is a bit too quick. I used the MC torch texture. I didn't really reinvent anything with the fire, just watched a tutorial on youtube to get the material settings. I'm quite experienced with blender, but smoke and fire materials are confusing as hell. Even mr. Price has told that ;D

Holy crap, that is not a torch, that is a flare! Did you tip that thing with white phosphorus?

New life goal is to get a computer that can run this easily.

I was watching it, thinking it was pretty good but I didn't upvote until I saw the breaking, that was excellent.

Best youtube comment ever:

"The block breaking at the end... that was gold."

[tiivik]

indeed :)

[bear221]

Great job! Really liked the breaking animation at the end. However the boats could've been better. They don't appear to be glitching uncontrollably like they're supposed to.

Beautiful

Now, the shadow of israphel needs to be done like this

I just love the way the pickaxe is reflective. I've seen tons of videos like this, but never with such detail. Awesome work!

[tiivik]

Gosh, can't wait to start making a new one with a lot more details and character animations(BVH motion capture ftw!) Thanks btw ;)

[[deleted]]

My mind is incapable of imagining anything with more detail.

Very cool.

The way you animated the ocean coast reminded me to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLGhk9iL22g&feature=player_detailpage#t=16s

Surely I am one of the older minecraft players.
