  1. Going to write down my thoughts. Even if I haven't been in these forums for such a long time, I've been thinking about how I've gotten here. I had to write an essay on how the thought of my future career has changed for the past 18 years. Believe it or not, Mine-imator had a huge impact on this. I found Mine-imator when researching Minecraft animation programs after I had been inspired by Minecraft parodies back in 2012. Fast forward 2013, & I've found MI with a quick Google search. This was at the time when it was at v0.6.2. Now it's on, what, like 1.2.0? It's been improving with every update & I'm quite proud of how far it's come. Animating in MI pushed me to be creative in a blocky world & honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. Despite the 4-year hiatus I've had from it, I've learned from a lot of you here & other communities about myself. I did want to pursue to become a 3D animator or modeler, but realized that it wasn't meant to be. I needed a career in STEM, so I thought of "What if I create the programs that make MI?" This is what got me into coding. Now, I'm a computer science major, going on to transfer out of CC into a UC to become some combination of computer science & environmental science. Would I have gotten into programming if I haven't found out about Mine-imator? Probably, but I wouldn't have gotten into it as young as I have. Perhaps I would've chosen the biology route first, & find out later it wasn't for me. Or perhaps medicine, as I desired to be a doctor when I was younger, but find out that it also wasn't my route to partake. So, this is how I'll express gratitude for MI, its developers, & the community. Thank you all for the past 7 years. Probably this won't be seen by many, but if you do see this, thank you for reading & being a part of a wonderful community. What's your story to share? (Also, mods if I posted this on the wrong category, feel free to move or delete it. There's some things that have changed around these parts haha)

      Yikes, 2-month long answer but I'm in college now haha! But otherwise, not much has changed. Glad to hear y'all are doing aight

  3. Hiya! I'm the Optimistic Cat, aka Kata. I have been using Mine-imator ever since v0.6.2 came out. Right now, I use Mine-imator solely to help people out with particles and create stills when I'm bored. I can say I've moved on from MI to Blender, but I cannot say I've moved on from this community. It's been sometimes bumpy, sometimes smooth ride with y'all, and I don't plan on stopping any time soon. If you desire to chat with me, I'm almost always active on Discord (username: @KATAstrophe#0855) or you can pm me through here (though, it'd take a while to answer). Updated: 10/06/2019
  4. Heya! I'm back with the particles. This works in MI 1.10. With the right setup and angles, they can look like this: https://gyazo.com/adcf6ea1cf14afd9ff1bec740e69d685 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c64gkJ0_VME Downloads (respectively): http://www.mediafire.com/file/722rc7krwpc8jww/Future.zip http://www.mediafire.com/file/izi2l8fcln8ctci/Forcefields.zip Hope you guys enjoy. All I ask is that to give credit when used. Thanks! Questions and concerns? Ask below.
  5. Heya! CatO here and this is another one of those..."random-particle-tests-that-were-actually-made-by-accident-when-trying-to-make-something-else" gifs. AKA test particles. For some reason, I thought of the title "Future" particles since it's almost depicted as a time-traveling scene. v gif v https://gyazo.com/adcf6ea1cf14afd9ff1bec740e69d685 Also, should I release Forcefield/"Future" particles for download? Poll rn. Forcefield: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c64gkJ0_VME
  6. Hello everyone! It's been a while and I need your opinion on a new pfp! So 1: and 2: (Will fix lighting and posing later) But basically it's either with glasses or without glasses. Thanks in advance.
  7. I know you need to speak English here. But I know how to speak Spanish a bit. I just learned this year!
  8. Sooo nice! Honestly my opinion is that it's not over edited...except the lighting. I love this so much tho
  9. Hey everyone! It's been a while. I had a ton of school projects for the last two months and one BIG project that just ended this week (phew!)! So I'm going back into my hobbies, which includes animating! So this poll is asking what kind of animation should I do? (One more thing, I might be starting to make websites for anyone in the near future so stay tuned for that!) Oh by the way, I will do the one that has the most votes by the end of tomorrow
  10. Minecraft updates log: -ADDED SPACE! Now you can explore other worlds filled with other creatures! And don't worry, if you respawn, you respawn back to Earth! -Removed Herobrine (from Earth)
  11. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIETY :DDDD

  12. More blur but it looks like a nice place to go to
