Popular Post david 8.4k Posted August 28, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Good day folks. It's time for another exciting dev update, to show that I haven't been lazing all summer (don't trust the dev blog on the download page!). Yes, I am still working on Mine-imator, and yes, it is still made primarily using GameMaker. Here are some of the features I have been working on this summer and that you can expect in the final, legendary 1.0.0. Rendering features One of the new rendering features is AO (Ambient Occlusion), which gives a nice effect around edges, similar to in Minecraft. Below you can see a comparison between AO enabled and AO disabled: AO disabled AO enabled (open the images in separate tabs and shift between them, you will definitely see the difference) If you look carefully you may be able to spot another new feature. Additionally, the settings tab will allow you to disable any effects you don't want (if you don't like AO, depth of field, anti aliasing, shadows...) Audio timeline We can finally add sounds to our animations! Just open a sound file and use it as many times as you'd like throughout your movie. You may use this for both music and sound effects, since several overlapping audio tracks can be added and edited as regular timelines. You may also adjust the volume/start/end time of your sounds. Currently supported formats are .mp3, .wav, .ogg, .flac, .wma and .m4a. Improved exporting With the new audio feature the rendering process will need to be completely redone, and your future animations will be exported as .mpg (with the audio tracks included) rather than .avi. This means you won't have to pick a codec and fiddle with quality settings. .mpg files are supported by most players, video editors and most importantly, Youtube, so don't worry about that! Those are just some of the new things in 1.0.0. Sadly I can't reveal an estimated time of arrival, since getting all of this to work smoothly requires an extraordinary amount of work. Let's just say that it will definitely be worth the wait! SDWAN, KicksBrickster, Shah and 108 others 111 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allemn 2.6k Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 I think you're fine. I want AO for my future animations to improve the quality but, if you disable the cast shadows of a selected object, it will still have that AO shadow drop.
