> MY JOB IS BASICALLY TO GET AN ABSTRACT IDEA AND IMAGINE HOW IT WOULD FIT INTO THE MINECRAFT UNIVERSE AND THEN START SKETCHING IT. ONCE A SKETCH IS FINISHED, I SEND EVERYTHING TO THE 3-D ARTIST THAT IS GOING TO MODEL IT AND ANIMATE IT TO MAKE IT ALIVE. > MY JOB IS TO BRING SKETCHES TO LIFE AND MAKE THEM MOVE IN 3-D SPACE. TO WORK WITH A GAME THAT HAS SUCH A SPECIAL LOOK, IT’S AMAZING. IT’S A CHALLENGE. IT’S FUN. IT’S SOMETIMES FRUSTRATING, BUT IT’S VERY REWARDING. I LOVE IT. > I’M THE THE PIXELER OF THE BLOCKS. USUALLY WHEN I CREATE A BLOCK TEXTURE FOR A NEW BLOCK TYPE, IT’S GOING TO BE A LOT. I’M GOING TO MAKE 50 ITERATIONS OF ONE BLOCK BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE IT RIGHT. EVERY BLOCK IS LIKE A BUILDING BLOCK FOR PEOPLE’S IMAGINATION. I TRY TO PUT A LOT OF LOVE IN EACH BLOCK TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE CAN CREATE WHAT THEY WANT. > I THINK MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE MINECRAFT LOOK IS THAT IT’S VERY UNEXPECTED, VERY UNCONVENTIONAL, AND THAT’S WHERE THE SPECIAL COMES FROM. > MINECRAFT IN TERMS OF GAME ART IS SPECIAL BECAUSE IT HAS SUCH A UNIQUE LOOK AND IT’S VERY RESTRICTED, AND HAS TO BE 3-D PIXEL ART. WE CAN ONLY WORK WITHIN THOSE BOUNDARIES. WE HAVE TO THINK INSIDE THE BOX, BUT ALSO OUTSIDE THE BOX. I’VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS EXCITING NEW MOB. THIS NEW MOB WILL BE THE CUTEST PREDATOR EVER EXISTED IN MINECRAFT. > THIS UPDATE IS INCREDIBLE, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG, AND WE’RE FINALLY GOING TO DO IT. > I HOPE THAT THE COMMUNITY IS REALLY HAPPY ABOUT IT. I HOPE THEY HAVE A LOT OF NEW STUFF TO PLAY WITH, AND I HOPE THAT THEY ARE EXCITED TO SEE SOME CONCEPTS AS WELL. [MUSIC] Video Information
