Minecraft Civilization thumbnails
Civilization videos are about scale: hundreds of players, a city, a war. The thumbnail needs a crowd, and a crowd is exactly what is hardest to make by hand.

What makes a good Minecraft civilization thumbnail
- 1
Use a real crowd
MCRender's army tool fills the frame with posed players in formation, so the scale is real instead of five copies pasted around.
- 2
Put a leader in front
One large character ahead of the crowd gives the viewer someone to follow.
- 3
Show the city
A skyline of the civilization's builds behind the crowd turns a group shot into a story.
