Minecraft

Latest comment: 11 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I believe that Minecraft is a dominant platform for videogame based cinematography. Arguably it is the most popular platform for videogame based movie making, at the moment. I find if very strange there is no mention of the game in this article. 2601:500:8782:80B0:E145:C214:1F1:1DB8 (talk) 04:03, 3 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

I added some basics, it would be great if there is an expansion on this topic Zwozitronen (talk) 14:09, 30 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

is Flow a machinima film?

Latest comment: 11 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I think that Flow is a machinima film because it was made with EVEE in Blender. And EVE is technically a game engine.

Could I add this film in this article?

Hari Seldon (talk) 11:22, 16 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

Flow is not really a machinima film because it uses conventional frame-by-frame animating technique within a 3D modelling software. https://borrowingtape.com/interviews/flow-interview-with-film-director-co-writer-gints-zilbalodis Zwozitronen (talk) 13:57, 30 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
