Hello again! In case you haven't noticed, I don't really like the new bending feature that was introduced in 1.1.3, so to stop myself from spamming the entire forums with my complaints, I have decided to make a topic where I could place all of them and even discuss with other people about this. This topic will include personal opinion, some objective facts that I think affect this new feature in a negative way, pictures describing the problem and probably some missing tweaks that should be implemented. Mind you that I do appreciate @david's hard work and the fact that he actually implemented this system as it was suggested by many users back then, but I'm not entirely happy with the results and I would love to point out what I don't like. It does seem that I could get used to this feature with time, but I still want to express my opinion. If you feel like I should add any other complaints or you don't agree with any point I'm saying, feel free to discuss in the replies. Let's start: -It breaks the Minecraft style and feel. -It does not appeal to a significant part of the community, several people are not really happy with the results too as I've seen here in the forums and in the YouTube community. -Round bending does not exist anymore (RIP), it had a few useful uses. -The new bending has a low amount of detail. -Item sheets on the body of rigs are now slightly broken. -The texture pinching was supposed to remove the need of the bending scale feature, but it only works up to 90 degress, a higher value causes Z-Fighting. Demonstration: -Some of the poses with the new bending are already possible to some extent with the old one. Demonstration: -There is a range in which using high values on more than one bending axis starts to look unnatural, will bother you unless you want to make weird satirical poses. Demonstration: -Using 3 bendings at once causes an even bigger range of an unnatural look, but high values go to the point of completely breaking the model. Demonstration: -The Z axis of bending deflates the body model, this did not happen with the old bending. Demonstration: POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS/SUGGESTIONS: This may be more suitable to go in Mine-Imator Suggestions subforum, but I'd say that this still falls in the context of this topic and could still be discussed so I'm keeping it here. I have no idea if any of these are possible to implement nor if they are good suggestions. If you have any other ideas that you think should be added, put it in the comments. Just wanted to put my opinion here, thanks for the read. I'm all open ears to any other opinions, so don't be afraid to discuss.

A new version for Mine-imator 1.2.6 is now available! Ever wanted to become a noodle? I'm sure you have, but until the technology to melt all of your bones is invented, you get this. Images: Product Showcase: Download: http://www.mediafire.com/file/wyw2y2h9agno0r2/Flex+Steve+Models.zip Includes features like: Multiple bends in arms, legs, and body. Hat layer support. Additional Flex-Alex model. Being a living hell to re-texture. (it's probably not all that hard actually) Compatible with Mine-imator 1.1.2 and over. You don't have to give credit, but it would be appreciated.

Hey there! Thanks for the feedback, I understand the new bending might not be satisfactory for a lot of people. The new bending method is here to stay and adding the old one is not part of his plans. The new method actually deforms the mesh (whereas the old method broke the mesh in two parts and generated a new one in-between) which allows for bending on multiple axes at once, something you can't do with the previous way of generating the bending. About the odd looks of extreme bend values, there actually is a parameter to set the bending detail, however it had to be disabled because it produced very unpleasant effects when set too high: But as you pointed out, it's a bit of a non-issue as only extreme, multi-axial bending would produce the broken-looking mesh deformation. As for the major two issues, which are the pinching effect and the Z-fighting (clashing textures) glitch, I have good news for you! Both issues will be addressed in a subsequent patch. The Z-fighting was fixed. When it comes to the unpleasant look of pinching, there is actually a parameter inside model files which define the size of the effect. Having a low value, such as "1" will give a result that's mighty similar to what Mine-imator used to offer, as demonstrated in the following gif: However, it's important to note that such a value will make twisting along the Y axis look pretty terrible! You'll have to change this setting with caution! You will be able to set this new parameter in the next Modelbench update. I do not know if it will be implemented within the next batch of assets for the next Mine-imator updates, but if it isn't, it'll be an easy fix if you're certain you won't need to show any limb twisting. Hope that helps!

Hey guys, you might know about my animation project I've been working on for the past month. My other topics on Project Town Anyways I need skins for the towns people in my project If you want to be in the animation (you will be credited in the end-credits and description) then follow this example.

People in the wallpaper@Ninjabee_Redtricity @FoxtrotHeaven @YoshiHunter @MasterArcher12 @PΛULAnimatez

This was originally going to be a test status update but it looked cool to me so i added in some scenery and a few more things (like a camera) so yeah, heres the wallpaper: Edit: How's this:

The posing's great, but also *the two things alfadog criticized* and the SSAO is waaaay too high.

it should be night, DOF blur size is a little too high. Otherwise good job

Unedited Edited

I don't know. No one knows.

who the hell need these capes?! btw mineimator 1.1.+ are bad

Some of us were kind of expecting the reactions, but don't worry, we're listening!

Keep going with your anti-transgender and pro-trump statements, it will help in digging your grave to an even deeper level.

Lovely banner by OzFalcon Latest update: January 28, 2022 - Update 34 NO LONGER TAKING REQUESTS The Modelbench Armory is a collection of weapon models made for Mine-Imator users to use in animations, still renders, or anything else you can think of. Feel free to use them for whatever you please, no need to give credit although it is appreciated. Sounds are included with all gun models, although I recommend you use your own for more consistency. The Modelbench Armory is conceptually based on Überkiller's now-defunct Mine-Imator Armory. Thanks to @MYSELF3200, @CodyBI, @Slime, @Hozq, @OzFalcon, and @Duychung for their help with the Armory. Frequently asked questions: Terms of use: Some very basic tips/advice: WEAPONS Assault rifles & carbines: Battle rifles & DMRs: Single-action rifles: Anti-materiel rifles: Machine guns: Submachine guns: Handguns: Shotguns: Explosives & launchers: Melee weapons: Misc: ATTACHMENTS Every attachment has an attachment type in parentheses, and should (atleast within realistic bounds, you can do whatever you want really) only be attached to weapons with that attachment type. These are pretty much only meant for firearms, not melee weapons or anything else like that. You can find what attachment type(s) a weapon has in its info .txt file, if applicable. The "Custom" attachment type means it doesn't use any standard mounts and is generally attached to a gun permanently. Muzzle devices instead have what round they're meant for in parentheses, and should generally only be used on guns with a matching or comparable cartridge if you want to keep things realistic. Also please note that magnified sights do not include any zoom/magnification setups, and you'll have to set those up however you want to get a zoom effect. Grips & bipods: Muzzle devices: Close-range sights: Medium-long range sights: Underbarrel weapons & bayonets: Other attachments: Thanks for taking the time to look at this, I hope it's helpful.

Since I'm pretty sure many of you are yearning for it and because Modelbench doesn't support the new bending just yet, I copy-pasted some stuff inside the model file and created this abomination the pinnacle of human art for you to enjoy. Have fun! For use with Mine-imator 1.1.3 and up.

I like it!

Why did i even get a notification on this when i did not ever go to this page?

Happy birthday! I'd also like to just thank you for all the great M-I updates and whatnot you have created, it really means a lot to me that someone cares enough about M-I to actually take over updates! I can't even imagine how hard it might be.

ben swolo? (dead star wars meme)

Please help me.

is gey

I made this trash about 3 weeks ago and I forgot to upload this to mediafire and forum and im uploading this now pls enjoy download +No problem on adjusting size of this Yup, It means you can attatch this on every gun rigs, schemetics, and models

how is it a template?

I got this to work in 1.1.3 now. It is no longer (completely) broken.

Okay, thanks for the tips! Thankyou!

I don't like new bends same. Mostly because of texture blinkin And also because of THAT. Aw, what is that thing i really need an option to disable it.

Last time I checked, having a heated political debate on a forum dedicated to Minecraft-based animation software wasn't exactly the most sound of ideas, whether or not the topic is a test model inspired by the current President of the United States, as nothing gets accomplished and it just ends up becoming a scheiße-flinging contest that someone like myself is then forced to clean up. If you're here to try picking fights on a site where the majority of the population are literal, actual children [it obviously seems that way considering your attitude and how you leave your political views right there on your profile, making sure to leave little patronizing statements after each one just to piss people off] because of whatever view towards politics they have, if any at all [as there are often pretty young kids on this site], just me a favor and perhaps find somewhere else to go that's actually oriented towards having political arguments. Debate.org, r/TheDonald, something. If this gets more out of hand than it already has been, I'm locking the topic. Savvy? Also, *.300 [7.62x35mm] AAC Blackout c: Just call it an M4 Carbine. As that is what that caliber is designed for.

yeh... your right... i have no argument...

Too lazy to do the camera trick?

Oh dear, didn't notice that! Thanks

That means... Nothing Also, ahem... Sorry to burst your bubble bud, but we did say skins. Soooooooooo I'm gonna quote YOU now

Mine-imator CB users

Somehow the 2nd pic is worse than the first. I guess thats just to be expected for a sequel

Hello! In this topic,i will show you how to make physics-like animating. (Note: This will expand your Mine Imator skills largely!) Ball physics This will be your final product: It's pretty simple. First,create a ball. Then, select it and make a folder. That will help you ALOT. Like, a BIG lot that it is jaw-dropping! Make 2 position keyframes for the ball. Keep it on the ground. Then,move the folder up and down. (Note,don't do the same as in the picture,make it a bit more fast. Now, use transitions. This will make it look like actual physics simulated in Blender. (the transitions for the 2 first keyframes of the folder) Boom! Done. But it needs to roll a bit.... Let's fix that. Move the ball a bit more and change it's 2nd keyframe's transition to Quadratic (ease out). Yeah! That's it! You can even add a character kicking the ball. Cube Physics (Read ball physics first) Do just like the ball,but center the rotation point (Cube properties - Custom rotation point - Y: 0) and turn it's X or Z to 360 or -360! And by the way,don't use the rolling thing. Thanks for checking this guide! Comment below what tutorial you want me to do next!

This is a teaser to a project I'm making using my own scenery and rigs. It doesn't have a story line, it's more of an artistic animation.

All credit in the ending I will put ep2 here if anyone cares...

Count me in!
