How to import and render a Minecraft world in Cinema 4D.

Please read the description for more info.

First of all: music used in the video:
- First 30 seconds of the video: Blackmill - Evil Beauty (I have his permission to use his music in my videos, in case you were wonderin).

- Throughout the rest of the video: Steffen Shackinger - ElectriGuitaristry (Album). I was just listening to this while doing the tutorial, hopefully having this music in the video won't get me into trouble, that'd suck, I'm not making any money off this video and I'm not illegally sharing the music..

Sorry I didn't commentate the video, but I'm just a 15-year-old Dutch guy trying to help one or two people out, I really didn't feel like spending all that time commentating a video like this. It still took me about an hour and a half to capture and upload this video. Doing commentaries over and over until I would've been satisfied with the result would've taken ages.

I'll just add some annotations to clarify certain steps of the process.

RunMcObj.bat, mcobj.exe and blocks.json: http://www.mediafire.com/?c1n8b1nzu1mx1b2

The textures I used for the blocks: http://www.mediafire.com/?jsabdd6cplad0mi

McObj subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/mcobj
McObj ReadMe (for help with commands and such): https://github.com/quag/mcobj/blob/master/README.md

If you need any additional help, let me know. Please rate the video if it helped you, though, it'd be nice to actually have people watch this video, so they, too, can learn something from it and make renders like the ones I've been making for a while.

The download link isn't working :c

@TeamXtreemer Sorry. I don't have them anymore, either. You know, I'll probably make a new version of the entire process, this video is getting old and I'm just starting to get back into Cinema 4D, and Minecraft, for that matter, again, so I could use the practice. I'm not sure whether McObj is even up-to-date or anything, but I'm going to give it a shot and hopefully I'll have a new video up sometime in March. Hope you have patience until then. :)

Is it possible on Mac computers?

[MrZombieZebra]

@MrPazars It should be, I'm pretty sure at least Cinema 4D is available for Macs. Not sure what you'd use as a replacement for McObj, though, I don't think that's available for Macs.

Yes, yes. It is too much work for an average American :D Besides, I am just trying to make a minecraft animation.. Anyways, look at the comments, a MONTH ago people are complaining about no download, and you say you dont constantly update the files? I dont think ONE MONTH is constant

[MrZombieZebra]

@eric29965 I honestly don't really care whether or not you people are able to download the files. You can just copy what I'm doing in this video if you really care.

@MrZombieZebra Excuse me MrZombieZebra right after 3:06 how it all of sudden loaded up the textures on the map when you were finishing the water, what button did you exactly click? When I import the terrain.png textures, the blocks update as I am importing them onto the blocks.

[MrZombieZebra]

@eric29965 Just typing out what I did probably is way too much work for an ordinary human being, I understand; why have I ever thought people who watched this video would be capable of doing such an unbelievably hard thing? I'd better go and cry in a corner for the horrible acts I've committed by not constantly updating the files, I know.

[eric29965]

You didn't SHOW US HOW TO DO IT. You just showed yourself editing your world with the .bat stuff that we can't download because the links won't work. And since you don't have the files still, I would just remove this video because it's a waist of time just watching you install it with the files we're supposed to download. Either you should make the files again so everybody could be happy, or you keep this pointless video out here.

[MrZombieZebra]

@imrayyaya I'm sorry, I don't have the files anymore. Absolutely no idea as to why the files got removed, though, but you should be able to just copy what I typed in this video and put it in a .bat file, you'd have to rip the textures yourself though, but you can even do that in Paint and it barely takes any time at all, so that shouldn't be that much of a problem.. I hope.
