A very large project is currently being build by me - in singleplayer.
This means I will not have access to voxelsniper. However, I can use McEdit for that as well as worldpainter and worldedit.
So what is it? Well... I haven't decided what EXACTLY its gonna be but when you see the first screenshots of it - You should get the overall theme of it pretty easily.

I am trying to make a thread where I can get lots - I mean LOTS of input for the build and that is also why I decided to handle the construction this way :
Every time I make major changes to the build, I will make a quick chunky render of it and post it with some comments.

TL;DR - This is a build log of my upcoming project!

The finished build will be posted on my PMC profile

Please feel free to comment on this.
Suggestions, Opinions and whatnot are greatly appreciated <3

So I start this topic a bit too late which is why there are 4 logs already. Stay tuned for more!

CURRENT BUILD PROGRESS AND PICTURES BELOW

(right click and click "view image" to view the pictures in the original resolution)














The list above will be edited and updated every time I post an update in this thread. That way you can not only keep track of where the build is at the moment in terms of progress, but also when and who commented on what stage of the build - possibly taking influence on the next update.

I hope you like it and appreciate every kind of feedback!

The placement of the wings and the shields covering the spot they took before is NOT FINAL

Yes, the build is still alive and in production!

Just a little overview of why there hasn't been any news lately

- my granddad got home from the hospital (lung cancer...) and it's quite difficult to take care of him and manage the rest of our every day life at the same time, no time for minecraft

- school... lots and lots of school

- other interests and activities I got involved with that took some free time


So, what has changed on the build itself since then?

There are no big renders yet to show you, but here is a small change-log

- Played around with the placement of the wings

- Added 2 LARGE rail gun installations underneath the red side wings

- Replaced the two rocket pods with one cannon and a bunker for the fire control system

- Added some more supports here and there to make the ship thicker

- pipes!!!

Day 12!


The large radar dishes made the build look a bit like Mickey Mouse ... so they had to go.

While figuring out the design and the placement of the main shield generator core, I made changes to the belly.

Currently, I am building the shield generator system that keeps the ship alive in case something shoots at it

that is "just" a quick chunky render on a greenscreen. I placed the cut-out picture of the ship from the greenscreen on a 1080p picture of storm clouds, photoshopped some clouds behind the picture and some in front, added noise which i distorted with motion blur to create the rain effect and played around with the contrast

Damn that thing is getting awfully detailed & massive.
I look forward towards the release of it. Subscribed for it, although I am pretty sure I will see it back on the pop-reel.

Haha, thank you!
Yeah, I hope it gets to the pop-reel.
I wouldn't call it detailed yet. the building process is focused on the rough features now. (Superstructures, large cannons, wings, pipes) the details are build on another map - a flatmap - and are going to be spread all over the place.

Antennas, smaller weapons, radar arrays, small pipes (1 block wide), interior, valves, gears, sensor arrays, walkways, ladders, vents, doors and whatnot are yet to come - that is what i would refer to as "detail"

Most of the time has gone into the flatmap for details and features that are going to be spammed all over the place when the large stuff is done
For now, the part behind the bridge is being redesigned.

After some time:

Day7!


The fire from the engines is made out of glowstone and red,orange and yellow colored glass blocks and panes. The radar dishes are made by creating a sphere of material and another hollow sphere of air cutting through it
