So where do you guys get your ideas?

[Mr_Grinch14]

I've been pretty brain dead when it comes to blockland. I have no idea what to build. And when i do build i hate it and kill it.

So what resources do you use? How do you sort out what you want to do?

This could easily turn into a resource center, so if you have websites or something post them.

We use something called imagination and creativity. If you are 40 years old and can't think of anything to build, NO DUH.

Look around the internet for images and stuff, then try and get ideas from them (Like get some ideas from some Byzantine building or the Empire State Building)

OMG thats so gross why would you say something like that. please dont say stuff like that on these forums it grosses people out. and badspot bans people for posting gross stuff so you should be more careful about what you say.

[Mr_Grinch14]

Thats not what i was saying, Gen. nick.

Say you wanted to build in a style you saw randomly. Hungarian. i don't know. Now how are you supposed to know what that looks like? Where would you go to figure that out?

Hey Mr. T(rueno) I use Google, but you know that. I think of something I might want to build. It could be, forget it you can never build that. But then I see something on that build i want. I circle it, then move on to something else that i would like to see, can't build that either but hey, i like those windows. I just take snippits from different pictures then add a pinch of Diosadentro magic and out pops something cool.

Steps:
1. Open google
2. search for crap
3. add trueno magic
4. mix together
5. balance the electrons in the half rexon reactions to find how much power you should put through the reaction to get your product.
6. Then use ICE charts to find the exact value of your H. This way you can be all piroy and be cool with Science.

Opps, steps 5 and 6 seem to have come from my notes... O.o

There's a difference between replicating, and creating. I expect everybody in their Blockland lives does a fair amount of both. Although I think the majority just create from scratch with imagination.

Personally, If I join a server, I'd see what everyone else is building, and then start work on my own while trying to better everyone elses designs. Not saying I always do, but at least it fits in well. When I'm on my own server I'll often create what I've been thinking about recently. I may have seen something on these forums, seen something on TV, or may even create an object in a large scale. The possibilities ARE endless, you just need to broaden your mind. Being unable to think of an idea with millions of options to you is a bad sign, and if you dont like what you build, then go ahead, replicate. Once you have copied enough things, you should have a good grasp of what techniques and styles you like, and will build quicker, and at a higher quality.

If you want to follow the last method, google "historic buildings" or be more specific and type things like "greek temples". "egyptian sculpture" and so on.

Best thing to remember is, nothing you create should be awesome in your eyes, but other people may love it. Trick is to be modest, but always seek to improve, and just don't stop building. Ideas will come, possibly while you're building something else!

Blockbusters usually have some epic buildings. I usually build them :D

[valtherian]

i use my creativity, but if thats not working for ya and you have builders block (lawlz)
go get some legos and steal there instructions.

I generally open up all instant messaging applications, find Blockland-related contacts, ask "wat2maek", and await the first decent response.

Don't forget to Titrate just to be sure.

Already did, how do you think i was able to do an ICE chart :D

But thanks guys, i just get mad at build fast. I just think.. not good enough. or i have an idea and only half of it works out. And figuring out the other half isnt fun.

[Bisjac]

im always google'lin up pictures.

styles of windows and wall structures. floor plans, roof designs, good tile floor design, flora inspiration.

but those are just to get unique techniques used on my builds. for the basic idea even you can think of. just have to add a touch not seen so much by other blockland builders.
you have to be able to impress yourself by your own work for it to be "good" and dont compare your builds to others so much, it messes up your style.
