Isometric Renders
What do you guys think of the new isometric renders I did for all the normal sized block pages using Template:Block? I'm aware that they're a bit bright, but it was my first try at blender and I just wanted to see how they fit in.

I also couldn't decide if isometric or perspective rendering looked better, here's a comparison. --ultradude25 21:44, 19 October 2010 (CDT)
 * I like isometric much better than the old versions. Yes, some of them are a bit eyeburning, but thats nothing a quick image edit shouldnt be able to fix.Toadbert
 * Isometric would look a lot better imo. --DigiKep 04:07, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you going to get the rest of the pictures sometime?Toadbert:
 * As soon as I mange to model and UV map the other block sizes. It's surprisingly hard to get it to line up to Minecraft size. --ultradude25 05:24, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Personally I think having a slight perspective on the render looks better. Not as much as the original images though, they just looked distorted! DannyF1966 05:15, 21 October 2010 (CDT)
 * Alright I've redone them all with better lighting, plus I've done the field block which is the first different sized block. --ultradude25 11:50, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

"Environment" category?
This idea occurred to me after I put a lot of pages into the "Mechanics" category and in doing so, took Light out of that category (because it's not mechanical). That particular change was undone as it left the Light page uncategorised, so I suggested on the talk page for Light that we create a new category called Environment for things like Day/night, light, blocks, sun, moon, fluids, plants and so on. The suggestion wasn't picked up on over there, so I thought I'd suggest it here as well. DannyF1966 15:39, 21 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I dont see why not.Toadbert


 * That sounds better. Samka 21:03, 21 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I've created the Enviroment category page and linked some things to it, I don't want to go overboard by linking all the individual plants and blocks etc, I think just linking the relevant category pages should suffice. DannyF1966 21:14, 21 October 2010 (UTC)


 * We could add the blocks that occur naturally, actually. Toadbert
 * Phew! Done, I think! DannyF1966 21:47, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I see this being potentially being used for Biomes, as well.--GrokMonkey 17:42, 21 October 2010 (CDT)
