Author Topic: Preparation for Eksi's post-shaders Blockland trailer - Suggest showcases  (Read 19670 times)

It can be accurately assumed that one of the first things out of me after the imminent shadows/shaders update will be an updated trailer. I want to be prepared for that, and to be more prepared than I was to make my first one, which was actually rather rushed.

For this, I would like to show a variety of themes, giving the viewer an idea of the span of potential Blockland provides. Like before, there will be a number of more scenic, pretty builds and various forms of action shots. Unlike before, for example, I will make sure there aren't six shots of planes back to back and only one that barely suggests it involves a zombie mod. And, obviously, it should all be the more impressive with the involvement of shadows and shaders.

The purpose of this thread is to gather and keep note of themes and builds that ought to be shown, making sure not too much or too little is shown in a range of some of the notable creations that help shape the Blockland experience.

I need you, the reader, to suggest ideas or themes, nominate builds/add-ons/servers, and give some feedback on the previous trailer.

Links, not pictures are preferred.


Builds I would surely like to use:
Bushido and Eksi's Collab City
Conan's Althur - Terrain Build
Klendathu Drop (ZAPT)
Pyramid getting cannoned
King Leo's Cathedral
Badspot's Block Party 01
EndGame's cavetastic TDM
Choneis' Mythology Build
TheArmyGuy's Construction Fight

Possible nominations:
King Leo's landmarks
Wehrmacht's Operation Metro or misc. builds
Skill4Life's cs_office
Modman's terrain build
Prison Escape V3
Mega-Bear and Extrude's Battersea Power Station
JakeBlade and Mr.LoL's house
Diggy's Metropolis RP
Mr. Nobody's Ballroom
Solid's junktown

Themes to include:
Clarify modding community influence
Landscapes
Raceway
Airport
Dogfight
Horror-style
Dodgeball
Knife TDM
Zombies

Suggest as many as you can think of

A dark menacing alleyway.

oh hey, it never occurred to me that your trailer would become out of date. Nice thinking.

Not to sound like a fanboy but I defs think Bushi and your's city build would be a good candidate for video material.

Have some shots of my tutorial build?

i can let you get some pictures/shots of my operation metro map
which has suddenly inspired me to work on that

and i also have a bunch of random misc modern builds / oil rig

Maybe a raceway scene perhaps?

This makes me feel like making the ground/brick terrain for my construction site

Also you should totally include a 32x plate house with badly placed windows as walls.

Maybe a raceway scene perhaps?

I made a raceway once, though it might be a bit narrow.

klendathu drop (zapt map), while there's combat going on. I'm sure we can hook you up with that

did i just build an entire city for nothing

I wish I had cool builds to showcase for you. 

You should ask spade and those guys, they usally have some cool build going on.

make sure to put in plenty of brick terrain

Also be sure to put in brick trees.

Major edit:  Connected to the hosting tower, got two good screenshot's of prison escape v3, that me, nooblet 2.0 and swat725 built so far.  I think personally it'd be a good slate map build to showcase for eksi's trailer.
