    Hello, animators! Today, we're going to talk about block models. I'm sure you all know that you can import individual .json files inside of Mine-imator and it'll work just fine! However, if you wanted to use these models in a schematic, to give it additional detail or to make certain blocks a little more unique looking, you probably noticed that it doesn't really work. If you import a resource pack that contains 3D models, Mine-imator simply won't import it. But fear not, because there actually is a way to get Mine-imator to load the models you want in any schematic! And I'm gonna tell you all about it, so that you can turn this... ...into this! DISCLAIMER: The method I'm about to show you requires some messin' around with internal files, thus it's not officially supported. Always backup files before doing anything to them. Proceed at your own risk! How does it work? Ever wondered what this screen was about? When you launch Mine-imator, it will load a folder containing all kinds of Minecraft resources, so that you have everything you need to get started. Because it's an external folder, it means it can also be updated to include resources from newer versions as well. But it also means we can mess around with those resources, letting us make Mine-imator load anything we want. This folder is located at the following filepath: C:\Users\<YOURNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Mine_imator\Minecraft_unzip\1.12.2 If you take a look inside, you might think, "Hey, that looks like a resource pack!". And you'd be right! This is essentially a resource pack, with all the stuff you'd expect to find inside, along with the Mine-imator exclusive .mimodel files which are used for characters and special blocks. Let's add our own models! If you want to change the appearance of a block, all we need is to replace said block's model and/or texture inside the folder. In this tutorial, I'm going to use a custom leaf block model and textures I've created, which you can see up above. If you'd like to follow along or use that model for yourself, download it here: Click! Just unzip it in the folder of your choice, and you're good to go! It contains a .json file, which is the model, and 6 .png files, which are textures for each type of foliage. Models First, we'll replace the model. Go to... Minecraft_unzip\1.12.2\assets\minecraft\models\block This is where the block models are located. We're going to be replacing the "leaves.json" file here, but the steps are the same for other blocks. Start by renaming the original file, for example, with the BAK suffix, just so that we can keep it in case we want to restore it. Once that's done, grab the new file and simply copy it to the folder. Textures Because our model requires its own textures, we need to copy those as well. This time, go to... Minecraft_unzip\1.12.2\assets\minecraft\textures\blocks ...which is where the block textures are located. This time, we'll replace the "leaves_acacia", "leaves_big_oak", "leaves_birch", "leaves_jungle", "leaves_oak", and "leaves_spruce" PNG files. Once again, back up the files by renaming them, before copying over the new textures. If you've done it right, it should look something like this: Alright! Now that everything is done, we can launch Mine-imator, create a project, import a schematic, aaaand... ...Ta-da, our new model is displaying, awesome! At this point, you're probably saying, "Wait, is that it? Is it really that simple?" The truth is, yes it is. It's really just a matter of swapping files. However, this method is far from perfect and it can cause a few headaches if you don't do it properly. Before you go and change all your models, keep in mind the following: Caveats Be careful with the file names! The reason we actually have to replace files is that Mine-imator will only load files with those exact names. If you give it files with names it doesn't know, it will ignore them and they won't be loaded. Because of that, you have to make sure the names of your textures and models are the exact same as the original Minecraft files Mine-imator loads! This also means that if you made multiple texture files for one model, you will need to change it, and make it so that it only uses one image. For example, if my leaf block model had multiple textures for the additional leaves, it wouldn't have worked, as Mine-imator would've ignored the files. This is why I had to make the whole texture into a single image. Importing a resource pack might break everything! Because models might require additional texturing, importing resource packs that will replace the textures might cause a lot of issues. For instance, because my leaf block model requires a completely different kind of textures, you won't be able to use a resource pack if you also use the model, unless you modify the pack in the first place. Some glitches can also occur where Mine-imator doesn't import the texture with the correct resolution, which can make for really weird visual results. It's not recommended if you change resource packs a lot in your projects. Since we're changing the assets Mine-imator loads on startup, this means that every single project will show those changes. If you want to use different models in a project, or stop using them in another, you have no choice but to close the program, do the changes, and relaunch it for every single project. This can become tedious very fast. While you could think of solutions, like keeping different folders with different names and renaming them accordingly, it still requires to restart the program each time. For all those reasons, I can only recommend to follow this tutorial if you want the changes on all your projects and if you don't use alternative resource packs a lot. If that's not the case, it's better you keep custom models as an occasional thing. But if this is the case and you found this tutorial useful, let me know by voting or commenting. Have fun finding cool ideas with custom models!

    Hello Mine-imator users! Today I have some important and exciting news concerning the next update.. we've decided that since Minecraft 1.13 is taking a while to be released, we went ahead and merged 1.1.5 into 1.2. (So the next update is no longer 1.1.5 but instead 1.2.) Now, enough progress has been made on 1.2 to show off some of its many features! (Be wary that 1.2 is still in active development, however.) Glow effect for objects and bright blocks/models(Optional) Collapsable checkboxes Bloom camera effect Animatable DOF blur size Sprite particle angle settings Biome color tinting and hiding during different render modes Spinning items (Spin offset option has since been removed as you can rotate the items with keyframes.) Edit: Blocky bending for arms/legs The update's development is going rather well, however I did have to scrap specular lighting due to complications with the texturing system Mine-imator had, so I focused my efforts on the addition and improvement of other features to the update. The next update is still planned for release after Minecraft 1.13 with its accompanying mobs and blocks, so in the meantime, happy animating!

    In celebration of the release of Update Aquatic next Wednesday for Java players, I made a wallpaper consisting of my second favorite addition to the game: Dolphins. (I know there is only one in this wallpaper.) I took inspiration from the Jaws poster for this wallpaper. I don't know why, but it kinda fits for me.

Download link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vl8TAwQzh601prNsgrJYzQbUMh1NLwhg This is Baryonyx that was based on Jurassic World concept art. When you summon it, original baryonyx schematics will be loaded too. Download link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NC2CkJ4ATFb_Jc0q9WyU4CLb4rVmaS0G (All of those include many schematic files) Well, I have finished my second dinosaur pack! Did you like it?

    Hello! I kind of needed to update a lil bit my template for the new Mine-Imator version and also tweak a little bit some other stuff. I took this opportunity to add a very simple FINGERS! system into the template that takes advantage of the custom rotation point in limbs feature, added recently. I haven't seen anyone do this type of system but hey, idk. I also decided to add some minor changes to my own character so I could have a topic for people to go to if they wanted to download it. Look at him: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD ==================================================================================================================================== And well, since I changed my template, I also had to update the Alex and Steve rigs, take a look!: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THESE Template download: kthx bye

    Relaxation Render!

    Craft inator reacted to 9redwoods for a topic

    Good scythe. I have some criticism, though! The scythe should be more “Minecrafty” as in more pixelated. Maybe make it 16x16 or 20x20 pixels. The torch is giving off way too little light. Try turning up the range. The torch light should be glowing orange, not white. The lighting looks bland. Did you use a spotlight like I suggested? Try moving the light around to get the best result with shadows. The face rig is really distracting. Either take it out or make his eyes closed or something. Right now, it looks like he’s deciding what shape a cloud is. The crafting table is off centered. Make the snap size to 16 so you can snap blocks to the correct exact block you want. I suggest moving it to the open area behind the tallgrass and the flower. The wall is sinking into the ground. Try giving the camera a cinematic size, instead of being the default size. Give the camera a more cinematic camera angle, it’ll make the scene way more appealing. Try editing your photos like adding a slight glow to the torch or make leaves fall from trees, or just adjust the contrast. Other than that, I can tell you’re getting better. Remember to make the scene more cinematic and just develop an understanding of what looks good and what doesn’t. When you do that, you’ll improve greatly. Good day!
