I've been touching up a virtual city I've build to go with my novel. I've decided to build the exact business center of Chicago, Chicago Loop, where the beginning of my novel takes place. I've built it in 3D modeling application, and then transferred all into Minecraft. For those who don't know what Minecraft is, it is like Lego on steroids, and more than 30 million people all around the world play with it.
I did a write up on it on my novel's web page, so if you like to see the pictures, and a little flythrough movie, it is all here (

I'm not sure if this is going to help my novel in any way, but it was really interesting, and incredibly time consuming, building this.
