Just to be clear, that isn't a minecraft screenshot. They built it in Minecraft, exported it, then rendered it in another program with (better) lighting.

Impressive nonetheless.

We need some guy to go make renders of all the big cities of the Survival Server. That would be awesome.

looks a lot like minas tirith to me, still +internets for the effort

I would assume it's inspired by it, being its called "Minas Laroch"

Still impressive.

So it reads from the map and not the actual game. I don't like the way torches show up.

You're a genius! I happen to use blender, and would happily look into this!

Well. I tried this with a big portion of Haven - and learned a valuable lesson about breaking up projects into smaller pieces

You should do the Caprica Town Centre and the "Former Nether Portal Building"!

This one image took 5 minutes to render. So, no animations are expected. Sorry.

That's awesome, Theo! It's nice to see Haven so crisply rendered like that.

You guys haven't even seen the best Minecraft-related-Reddit-awesomeness.

Will here made the front page of /r/minecraft with Pokemon sexytimes.

So yeah.

I'm experimenting with another importer. The annoying thing about these is the redundant polygons generated. For example: which of these do you think would be faster to load, in terms of number of vertices and lines?

Now consider the size of, say, Haven. The number of vertices, lines, and faces. If I can simplify the mesh, I'll be able to render much, much, much faster.

Yes.

Nice, thanks for posting! That's a much better advertisement for the tool than the original post, it looks a lot nicer!

I counter your quesiton with another, rhetorical question: which of these would be easier to generate if you were writing the tool to convert from a Minecraft map file
