More than you wanted to know, but I thought I'd pass on some of the OCD feel of the project - it's like Minecraft squared. So I pulled the plug today - I could easily put in a few more months, but wanted to get this thing out NOW. And oh I should add billboards like Minecraft does for flowers, grass, sugar cane, etc. 3D prints, renderings, and tutorials made using Mineways, an open source program for exporting models from Minecraft. 536 polygons: Download Weapon Case : Tags: dae arts and high case from entertainment map normal thibaut gaetan weapon render poly digital. And the redstone wires should detect each other and connect properly. If on the Mac, download Mineways 9.00 on Wineskin (308 Mb), which runs on Big Sur (thanks, Hypersunpro). 23,884 polygons: Download Cannon Weapon Set : Tags: set normalmap cannon specularmap diffusemap weapon lowpoly sci-fi.
But then I needed to write a system to apply railways to the blocks. That led to me wanting to then read in the terrain.png file and apply real textures. So while waiting for delivery, I of course had to write a VRML color exporter that wrote to a PNG texture.

I am still waiting to see one of the full texture models and how it comes out there's one on a friend's front porch right now, waiting for him to return from the holidays.

Until I saw those models "in the flesh", plus the two models friend received, I really wasn't sure if the models I was producing would arrive intact or in flinders. At that point I made the two teapots shown at the bottom of the Mineways page, which I (finally) received three days ago. By December 4th I could export solid-color models, or color by going through MeshLab (Shapeways can import OBJ files, but not OBJ files with color - gah). You will download pattern models in all formats for 3D modeling: 3dsMax +. I'm very interested in this project as a way to use my 3D printer to make models I make in the game.īelieve me, I was trying, being antisocial at Thanksgiving while hacking out a working version. milkshape 3d, Modo, Cinema 4D, Zanoza Modeller, SP LIRA, Mineways, etc. Those cost more than a nice car and the material is pricey too.
Shapeways uses Zcorp color printers that are more like inkjet printers and print color bonding solution on a fine powder layer by layer to make up an object. c4d format) for the players/characters and mobs, for the maps you need to use Mineways to export it for rendering. It uses a printing technology called Fused Deposition Modelling, basically layers a thin noodle of melted plastic very tightly to create solid objects, generally in only one color plastic. Download your own rigs from Minecraft Forums (that are in. The plastic is about $20/pound, which creating hollow object you can use for a lot of little plastic models.

The software ReplicatorG take care of a lot of the processing of the 3D file and translates it to code for the machine. You do have to learn a little about the process, specifically getting the plastic extruder temp and speed right so you don't have blobbed pieces. I have a Makerbot Cupcake 3D printer, it cost me about $800 for the kit and really didn't take that long to assemble.
