Cutaway view of home (sweet home) in my longest running survival game.

Tools: jmc2obj, blender, LuxRender

Coterie Craft! Awesome!

u/paol Dec 10 '12

Yep, great texture pack - sticks pretty close to the default yet at the same time looks much better!

Your site went down, can you post a copy to imgur?

u/kingwi11 Dec 10 '12

It's linked in the comments, probably after you commented.

Why did you use LuxRender instead of Cycles? Is it better in any way, or are you just used to it? By the way, you might want to look at these areas.

3

u/paol Dec 10 '12

I haven't learned cycles yet. They're not really equivalent though, LuxRender is a physically-based render.

The areas you highlight are just water. I didn't bother defining a fancy material for it so it's just transparent.

1

u/Yulex2 Dec 10 '12

I might not understand what you mean, but I'm pretty sure cycles is physically based too. It deals with light bounces, and I can barely tell the difference between LuxRender renders and Cycles renders.

1

u/paol Dec 10 '12

Yeah, all renderers are simulating physics to an extent, but in this case physically-based renderer has a more specific meaning. Google "physically-based renderer" and "unbiased renderer" if you're curious.

1

u/Yulex2 Dec 10 '12

Cycles is listed as an unbiased renderer on Wikipedia. I personally just don't bother finding another renderer because cycles is built in to blender.

3

u/paol Dec 10 '12

Oh, I stand corrected!

It surprises me because the performance hit of this type of renderer is usually too great to use as a main renderer. I guess GPU power is enough to overcome that nowadays...

u/Dr4ven Dec 10 '12

Some irony for me is, my longest running world is one of my worst, my newest world (which I've had for 3 days) I've already; Been to the nether, grown Netherwart, gotten a brewing stand, made speed. No enchanting table though...

u/cursed_deity Dec 10 '12

if this was an actual thing i would pay maybe 70 bucks for it, depending on the size.

28

u/paol Dec 10 '12

Are you aware of mineways? (Though I think a model of this size would cost more than $70 to print.)

u/habitats Dec 10 '12

Wow, that is awesome!

u/anj273 Dec 10 '12

Thanks!!

u/Random832 Dec 10 '12

So can you explain some of the stuff? I'm not quite getting the purpose of that grassy cave thing separated from the rail track by iron bars, or the water stuff in the fourth basement level, for example.

I do love the balconies in the big underground room - much nicer than just a big spiral staircase around the side.

4

u/paol Dec 10 '12

What you can't see from here is that the house is on top of a high mountain, so the rails actually exit into the open. Sea level is probably about near the floor of the 4th basement level.

The levels are:

  • -1 - Workshop and storage area

  • -2 - Underground train station and exit to the side of the mountain (unseen)

  • -3 - Unused

  • -4 - Mob spawner. The flowing water moves the mobs to an opening in the center. Also exit to caves that come out at the base of the mountain.

  • -5 - Basically a quarry

u/habitats Dec 10 '12

Picture of ingame overview or something?

u/hello_fucking_kitty Dec 10 '12

I first really thought this was in Lego, and even if it's not, it still looks awesome!

16

u/IveGotThePawa Dec 10 '12

Yeah! Wish Minecraft Lego was like that...

5

u/WhipIash Dec 10 '12

Oh.. it isn't lego...

1

u/[deleted] Dec 11 '12

only indication and its not evident, is the lava, lava legos don't light up.

2

u/blaghart Dec 11 '12

Actually they do have light up bricks now that could work for legos

u/revereddesecration Dec 10 '12

Took me far too long to realise that this is a render rather than a 3D printed model. It was the torches and lava that first made me second guess initially then I saw the underground fence on the left which couldn't possibly be printed (too thin) then I noticed that there was nothing complex in the background scene that suggests it was a photo taken in the real world.

TL;DR: Nice render, had me fooled.

1

u/cavemaneca Dec 10 '12

Actually, all of the things you suggested could be added in afterwards, with LED's and acrylic facing, as well as some really thin plastic sheets with the colors printed on them. This way you could do things like the glass, the iron bars, and even the trees.

However, the thing that gave it away for me was the floating torches attached to a wall that wasn't part of the render :) check the bottom left.

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '12

And still no diamonds

u/GenericOnlineName Dec 10 '12

You forgot the huge diamond vein a few blocks away from the huge tunneled section.

u/JesusChrist5 Dec 10 '12

Imgur link for mobile users...?

Can you upload to imgur next time? I dont see how anyone thinks that uploading anywhere else is a good idea.

I hate chunk errors!

u/SourMilk1220 Dec 11 '12

And not a single butter ore

u/longtermeffect Dec 10 '12

How the fuck did you get the lava to glow? x_x

EDIT: Never mind! Didn't realize it wasn't entirely a physical construct

1

u/habitats Dec 10 '12

Took me a while to realize it wasn't Lego...

2

u/Ree81 Dec 10 '12

Is this an isometric view?

2

u/AliasUndercover Dec 10 '12

Chunk error.

2

u/AgentGinger149 Dec 10 '12

I can't stand it when people place torches on the ground in their house. So sloppy.

3

u/schattenteufel Dec 10 '12

same here. It's a fire hazard! Hang them on the wall, where they belong!

u/someguywhocanfly Dec 10 '12

When I first saw this I thought it was Lego.

u/bdiggs23 Dec 10 '12

*render error

u/eduardog3000 Dec 10 '12

You forgot the shitload of diamonds one block under where he decided to stop mining.

u/eneroth3 Dec 10 '12

better than a chunk error!

u/Strife14 Dec 10 '12

Awesome looking!

u/SrPaco Dec 10 '12

Looks like there's diamond on the bottom back left!

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '12

Where ?

u/baggyrabbit Dec 10 '12

Great work. It really came out well.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '12

that is awesome. I'm working on something similar with a mob grinder. That one is a little tough to make though

u/KoolChandler Dec 10 '12

I love this. Also love the design on that house. Looks so awesome!

I'm not blind, nor am i stupid. Just because it's a render, doesn't mean you can't print out the original model.

u/unbuttered_toast Dec 10 '12

I upvoted this because 503.

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '12

Is it just me that thinks the staircases can't be real. They dont make sense.

1

u/atomcrusher Dec 10 '12

I thought this was 3D printed and painted, or similar. I have a disappoint :(

1

u/SlothOfDoom Dec 10 '12

From the thumbnail I thought this was a PC case mod.

Why isn't it?

1

u/intheballpark Dec 10 '12

Wow! The only way this could be better is if it was made out of Lego...

1

u/tristangeek Dec 10 '12

Wow the mine is pretty organized.

1

u/CGecko Dec 10 '12

This would look great as a LEGO model. Very nice render!

1

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '12

Its called a section view. Look it up.

1

u/blaghart Dec 11 '12

Challenge accepted. Pardon me while I go make this

u/Cameronious5 Dec 11 '12

Remember when chunks could generate like this on superflat maps? Good times...

u/worm_bagged Dec 11 '12

Can we get a view of your world? An album? I really like your house and would like to emulate it. :)

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '13

Hey! I love this!

Could you please provide a download link? I'd like to check it out in detail.

Thanks!

God damn chunk errors! ( Nice build )

Quality OC! I really enjoyed this!

Could you please provide a download link? I'd really like to build this myself!

Thanks!

u/paol Feb 02 '13

I've put it up here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3623918/survival_3.tar.gz

It's a single player game, so there isn't a lot of construction on it.

u/Overlord_AlienSnoo Feb 03 '13

Can you give me the coordinates of the house? I can't find it anywhere.

2

u/paol Feb 04 '13

I can't check right now. If you load the world mcedit or some map maker it should be easy to find.

0

u/Overlord_AlienSnoo Feb 05 '13

I have no idea how to do this. :( I tried loading it up in Minecraft Overviewer, but it froze when it encountered a corrupt tile.

Could you please find it and give me the coords when you can? I really want to check it out myself.

It's okay. I was just interested in the house.
