Minecraft | Giant Landmass | Bird's-Eye View

Published:
16.6K Views

Description

Is it really a bird's-eye view, or is it more like a plane's-eye view?


I've found three structures on this section of map. All are contained in this image. Can you find: two Testificate Villages and one Desert Temple?


I wanted to make an image of a huge landmass once I had gotten my rendering program working properly again. I found this nice hunk of land and proceeded to mess around the way I normally do. It took about 15 to 25 minutes for me to figure out what this image needed. I decided I wanted to show this huge mass of land at a late sunset.
    The sun color is slightly orange and the sun is very low -- casting long shadows. I made the water clear so that the shadows cast by underwater hills would also be visible.
All in all, I think this image turned out well. It took a long time to render, as many of my renders do, because I do not sacrifice quality for speed -- if something is worth my time to start with, it's worth doing it right.

I hope you enjoyed this peculiar look at Minecraft. It's not every day you get to see this much of Minecraft in one image.

My work is downloadable! I do not wish to keep Minecraft to myself; I want to share it as much as I can.

However, should you make any of, or anything from any of my images public, you must credit my work and the work of the builders (if there were any) by linking to the image's page or my deviantART page from wherever you make our work public. Thank you!

This picture may be a large one, but it captures so much beauty in one shot. The green and yellow and white in the middle of just one giant blue ocean looks amazing. I love how every one in a while you can see a patch of lava or a mushroom of some sort to add another small touch of color. Such little details come together and create one amazing land of beauty. I'll probably try to go and find the villages and temples later. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=":D (Big Grin)"/> Overall, you did a wonderful job of capturing so much beauty in one place. I can only imagine how long it took to get just the right picture, but I look forward to your next piece. :3
