I wrote a poem:

-eh hemm-

Oh Blockland, with your skys a-blue
and your bricks galore

250k bricks is not enough-
we want more

so break out your Macintosh,
your Dell Inspiron too,

for badspot and kompressor,
"You've got some codin' to do!"

*clap clap clap*

lots of practice, copy others techniques and styles until you find your own.

edit: for example, my technique is not a lot of detail because lighting, emmiters and ambient sounds gets the job done for me.

A simple spaceship sort of like this:

That moves smoothly and slowly around like this:

Having darker lines will give more reasons to add per pixel lighting to replace our currently crappy vertex lighting in the next update. Dark lines on bricks and tile prints by default and better lighting will allow people to make better horror builds etc. These shadows are going to help a lot too. I can allready imagine myself making dark caves with it.
EDIT:

It's funny because this is 100% true. If a build doesn't have lights, and you load it in a map like Destruct, it's very hard to find that build.

It is your choice to download these dark maps, because there are currently no maps that are in complete darkness (the darkest being bedroom dark and kitchen dark, which will be removed in the next update). Besides, we have a good selection of lights that we can use, including the many useful light add-ons.

Pretty castle.

To be honest, I'm not really fond of the picture because of the white lines that just stick out. Black lines are really helpful for dark builds and make bricks look smoother. And since we are getting shadows and shaders, i really think we should change to darker brick textures such as Mantys, his are my favourite.
