How to Create Perfect 3D Renders of Minecraft!

So the question today is how do you create the perfect 3d render of your minecraft creations yo guys my name is Jericho oft and welcome to another minecraft related video today we’re gonna be covering one last quick tutorial before we jump on to some other building projects today I’m gonna be

Showing you guys how you can create a 3d render of your Minecraft world all this is done thanks to a program called chunky yes download links will be available in the description below and just as a side note don’t forget that the closing date for the snowglobe

Building contest is on the 30th of November so if you guys don’t want to participate you can still find the details again in the description below so apart from that let’s jump straight into the tutorial video where I’m going to be creating a 3d render of kingdoms

Of grey mean my first ever and still ongoing minecraft project right guys so when you start the program you’re gonna have a small window called chunky launcher this is pretty basic stuff don’t worry too much about it don’t stress this is pretty pretty basic you have the version of chunky you’re gonna

Use as well as checking for updates but most importantly you need to make sure that the Minecraft directory leads to your data roaming and doc minecraft folder and you can change the directory just by clicking on this small icon apart from that you have the memory

Limit now this kind of depends on how big your render is going to be if you have a powerful PC you should do you don’t even have to worry about this just put it on max sixteen thousand three hundred and eighty three is the max amounts over here everything else you

Don’t have to worry about just click Launch right then so once you click on the launch button you’re gonna have a new window with the Minecraft world on the left and a bunch of settings on the right now by left clicking on the map you’re gonna have a selection

Highlighted in red now this is the area you wish to render you can also set left click again to deselect and you can also hold down the shift button to select a much larger area as well as holding down the shift and ctrl button to deselect a

Large area you can also zoom in and out using this scale that will give you a much better view and obviously this is a different Minecraft world to the one I wanted to render as I said I was gonna render the kingdoms of gray mean map so

What you need to do is select change world now this will give you a list of all your minecraft worlds saved in your dot minecraft folder just select the Minecraft world you wish to render and click load selected world so as you can see we have a very good bird’s-eye view

Of the entire city so you don’t necessarily have to use this tool just to create renders I sometimes jump on the program just to take a look at the Minecraft map so what you guys need to do is highlight the area of the map that you wish to render now again this is

Heavily dependent on your PC so if you wish to render just a house you should have no problems whatsoever but if you do select a massive map like this one your PC might struggle it all depends on how much your PC can handle so once you’ve selected the entire area you wish

To render all you have to do is click on the 3d render tab and select new scene now this in turn will open two more windows on the left you have a bunch of settings that you can use to adjust the render and on the bottom left of this

Window it also shows the amount of chunks that are being loaded from your selection so you kind of need to wait for that to process once it’s loaded the second window will show you a 3d basic preview of whatever it is that you selected now the controls are the same

As minecraft so you do have to use WASD to move around as well as holding down the left mouse button to change the angle of the camera now I have selected a huge huge map so it does lag quite a bit but don’t worry too much about it if

You’ve selected a smaller area it won’t lag as much now if you do want to create a high-quality render or even just a desktop background I highly recommend you change the canvas size to 1920 by 1080 which I’ve already done right guys now I’m going to walk you through the

Kind of settings I use to create my thumbnails I’m not gonna go too much into detail with all of these tabs because most of the stuff here is really not necessary and I want you guys to know the basics without confusing you the most important settings are here on

The bottom left corner by pressing on the play icon this will start the render pause we’ll obviously pause its progress and the stop icon will completely reset the render to how it appears now so as an example I’m going to press on the play icon and as you can see the image

Will start to render obviously the longer you let the image process the better the quality of that photo you can also change the target SPP which in simple terms means the higher the target SVP the longer the image will render for but either way once you’re happy with

The image you can always simply click on the save current frame icon just be sure to click on the pause icon before you actually save the current frame right then so let’s jump over to the next tab which would be lighting now this is really crucial the two most important

Tools or at least the ones are going to be using the most is this now this is going to allow you to change the sun’s altitude as well as its angle so if I were to drop down this scale to zero the sun’s altitude will pretty

Much be at sunset and as you can see it will cast a shadow across the entire valley so these settings are pretty much down to preference you’re going to have to mess around with this a bit and kind of find what works best for you now most of these settings are pretty much

Self-explanatory if we jump over to the sky and fog tab you have a bunch of settings where you can add sky transparency enabled clouds even add some fog density if you’re looking for something spooky say for the Halloween season you can even change the color of

The fog to green black blue all these settings are pretty much down to preference if we jump over to the water tab again you can change the visibility of the water change its opacity even again change the color of the water so a bunch of really useful tools the most

Important one for me though is the camera tab where there’s a useful tool called the projection modes I tend to use parallel to create my thumbnails and as you can see it completely changes the angle of the photo gives you a kind of panoramic feel to it but it’s kind of

Difficult to get the right angle you kind of have to mess about with this a lot it is kind of laggy again it depends on the size of the render but this is the same as the previous style so we can use WASD to move around as well as using

The mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out so once you guys find the right camera angle and settings to use all that’s left to do is to simply click on that lovely green play button to begin processing the image and that is pretty much how you create a 3d render of your

Minecraft creations I’d love to see how you guys get on over the weekend so feel free to send me your photo renders over my email address and as for myself I’m off for a short break add me on snapchat and I’ll catch you guys in the next one this is Jerry Croft
