One of my co-workers (who is also addicted to Minecraft) pointed me to the following program:

It converts your Minecraft worlds to a OBJ file that you can then import into Blender and other programs that support the file format. So I did that and was able to render my Minecraft world in Octane. Way too much fun! :lol: Here are some images:

wow those are absolutely beautiful - could there be an even lower level way of doing it? - since Minecraft uses voxels and Octane seems to convert to voxels before import?

:D

Thanks, it is a lot of fun. :) Not too sure about the voxels, don't know enough about them.

do you have any renders at 1920x1200 (or above) - I'd love to use some of those as wallpapers :)

Woooow! Really awesome!
I was thinking about making some kind of an MC animation and this should be very helpful for me. Unfortunately, I'm not really sure how to get this working, I get an application, but when do I have to run it? Can't find any info on the website on how to use the program or am I just blind!?

It's a command line program, because you are running Window, you will need to run the program in a DOS or CMD window. On the web site under the "Usage" heading are the parameters for the command. I just placed the program in the same directory where Minecraft is installed and ran it there.

Hope this helps, :)

hmm whenever I start the mcobj.exe it opens the dos window for just a brink and then it closes it, I can't even read what it is saying in the dos window but I believe they are the commands written on the webpage. I've tried running the program at %AppData%\.minecraft\saves\World1 or just %AppData%\.minecraft\ but no luck.
E: I can't really understand what it means, should I type something into the CMD launched from start menu?
On windows:
mcobj -cpu 4 -s 20 -o world1.obj %AppData%\.minecraft\saves\World1
