Popular Post david 8.4k Posted December 31, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hi folks. In these final hours of 2015, I'd like to start off this topic with a personal and sincere THANK YOU to everyone who has given generous donations the last couple of months via the upgrade page. The amount of support you guys have shown is unbelievable, and will definitely keep the site and forums alive and well for a long time to come! This project, from its beginnings in 2012 up to today has been a total roller coaster. I'd like to give another THANK YOU to everyone who has been patient with me all these years, testing out the program, reporting bugs and above all, making awesome content. I've seen some crazy stuff that often greatly exceeded my expectations of what was possible with this (seemingly simple) tool. This community has seen multiple buggy demos, exciting teasers of new features and several silent hiatuses, but you have always been supportive and encouraging, which I believe is the key reason behind where the program is today. You have given me an unique opportunity to sharpen my programming skills and be able to finally release a semi-professional product, all by myself. Without your feedback, I wouldn't have the motivation to push my limits, and we'd all be stuck with version 0.1. With that being said, I can currently say that I'm satisfied where Mine-imator is today, feature-wise. Most of the stuff I set out to add into the program has been done, and adding even more would (at least in my opinion) be overkill for a novice-friendly animation studio based on a game made entirely out of cubes. "But what's with the title?", you ask? "The end? Does this mean no more Mine-imator? What about my epic animation plans? " Dry up those tears, reader! Mine-imator won't be going anywhere anytime soon! As long as I have a way of hosting a download link and nobody from Microsoft threatening to sue me for creating this, anyone can download Mine-imator freely and create awesome stuff. What I mean is that it is time for me to move on to other things. Developing a 3D animation studio in GameMaker has become a pain, and I feel that I've already accomplished what I set out to do with this particular project. What will I be making after this? I'm not entirely sure myself. I have a couple of bizarre video ideas that I'm tinkering with (nothing Minecraft related), but it will be a while until I have something worth showing. Regardless of what I decide to create, whether it be animations, games or more helpful tools like Mine-imator, you will be able to find it on Stuff by David and via my YouTube channel. That is all for now. Let's hope for an awesome 2016, and keep on Mine-imating! Mr. Darl, Archon, Nedia and 73 others 76 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasteredRedstone 20 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I remember using Mine-Imator for fun in my spare time years ago. I remember taking a break from Mine-Imator up until a couple weeks or so ago. Now I can say I have seen it grow and am happy to see you declare it satisfactory, as all devs want to do someday with their programs. Thank you for developing Mine-Imator David. Without it, I would have never thought about picking up on animation. david 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upgraded Moon 1.3k Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hi David. So, I've been using mine-imator since 2012, and started from .5 I think. This has been such an awesome experience for me, and I just want to thank you for giving me this opportunity. I've met so many friends and did so many things here, and I will continue to do things here. I just wanted to say thanks Nimi 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocelot 2.6k Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Maybe the updates will be be gone, but hey! Pong is still a fun game, right? I don't think this community is going anywhere, considering how little of us actually animate Thank you so much for creating this program. Though I may never have succeeded in using it, I've met great friends that have helped me through really hard times on this forum, and I'm so happy that I came (The fact that the announcement for this topic looked like this: !?? rather than this: ?! annoys me more than it should. ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emaniplex 6.3k Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) That's great, David. We'll stand right behind you with whatever you want to tackle next. ...

KicksBrickster 4.3k Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Mine-Imator has come a long way. Especially when you look back at the older versions (I really started on 0.7), and see what people can make today, it's become quite an amazing little program. Hopefully you don't stop updating right away. I can still see one or two features that we probably could use, though I really don't know if IK bends are possible in Gamemaker, and cloth physics would just be icing on the cake at this point. Good work mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane 2.8k Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 David, i joined back in 2013, and the truth is that YOU are the reason why i got a successful youtube channel. if you haven't released mineimator i wouldn't have been who i am today, mine-imator changed my way of thinking (at least in animations) and i'm really happy to see what has become from that 0.6.2 beta version i've been using. also, you said you'll make a program like mine-imator, but not minecraft related. will you do it? willingsas and TheGoku7729 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooshim 2k Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 It is quite sad to see the end to such a good program! Something so simple and easy to use, and can create such amazing models (not only Minecraft) when thought and effort is put into it - It truly is spectacular I can say that I am very thankful for being able to ride along-side the production of Mine-Imator, and watch it progress since the early days, and that I really appreciate the hours of work Mine-Imator has saved me, helping me grow my YouTube channel to this day and forward I'll definitely miss the exciting updates, and Christmas-like feelings of opening a new update - But I'm pleased to see that you're going on to do more, greater things! david 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lohkdesgds 0 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 You should try expanding this Mine-Imator thing to an Everything-imator. Maybe you can put other games in it and make "better graphics" (it's already very good!) and make a bigger animation software, like the others we know (Cinema4D, Blender, Maya). I like Mine-Imator a lot, to me it is like 98% of what I want ;P Hmm one thing I was thinking, is there any way to render in 360º? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexTSC 765 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Ok, David, see you with new staff and Mineimator DLCs TheGoku7729, Keep on Chucking and _Direkt 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOMmaker 1.6k Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Kudos to you, mate! Job well done! And the best of luck to you in your future endeavors! It's nice to think that I was able to take part in this, and by extension, in the lives of many people that otherwise would have been utterly unknown to me.
