Original Description:
I’ve been meaning to experiment with Mineways for ages, so here’s my current, ever-evolving base! I blueprinted the lighthouse in Blender as well. I’m kinda hopeless when it comes to planning things directly in Minecraft, hah. Architecture isn’t my strong suit.
This was a great project to break out of my comfort zone. I’ve never worked on lighting interiors and such like this before, and I’m so used to working with <2 meter tall models that this ~160 x 140 x 82 meter monstrosity was an experience to navigate.
I had to physically restrain myself from sticking a lamp to every single torch, lantern, and emissive block to light things accurately, but you see… Blender doesn’t take kindly to having thousands of lamps in a scene, and reality started to break down like ¼th of the way into it. So lots of simplified lighting and other cheats were used.
Lastly, I’m super proud of how that night sky came out :D
