I came 1st! Surprised but very happy.

Thanks to Aderlyon Build Team for organising the Buccaneer Bay build contest. See my map below, only if you really want to!

My new project.

A New Year, New Computer and Better Cinematics!

Hi one and all :D

This year I've decided to return to school and study a Bachelor in Animation. And to do that, I would need a pretty decent computer rig to run the software. The upside is that now I can enjoy Minecraft in a whole new way :)

So, I researched for about 3 months; what components would be best and of course....how do you actually build a computer?? Trust me when I say...there is not a Reddit forum, Tech Blog or a YT tutorial/opinion piece I have not seen, read or downloaded. I have literally lived and slept computer building... I even had a dream about thermal paste getting in my CPU. And..No, that was not meant to sound dirty...

Many of my friends and family were worried about my mission. They were of the stern belief that I should just walk into a computer store and buy a computer. Nope...I wanted a custom Rig and wasn't gonna buy a pre-loaded, over bloated, expensive box; full of stuff that would just drain my CPU. I wanted to know what goes on under the hood....I equated it to building your own custom car or Bike!

A long story short...and many many hours of YouTube tutorials later - I have built a new computer from scratch (from the Motherboard to an AIO Cooling system), and it runs like a dream. Although...anything would be better than my dreams recently - uurrrhh-thermal-paste

Why is this important? Well, as many of you would know....I make large maps. Not just large in scale, but full of custom content. To film these maps at full chunk render - was causing my old CPU to choke and lag; making maps unenjoyable to work on. It became near impossible to capture for videos.

I'll be the first to say, that one of my most disappointing cinemtatics was my submission for Tuscany. Beautiful map - shockingly bad cinematic :(

So one of the first things I did with my new GPU & CPU, was to test it out on one of my most demanding maps.... Taking on Tuscany (yeah...that title really took on a new meaning)

I'm not really into rehashing old work. But to finally have a decent cinematic for one of my favourite maps is really very satisfying....

hope you enjoy.....
