    Alright, I think it's best to just put all my thoughts in one place to make things clearer. I didn't really expect that revealing the new icon in a joke post would cause such a reaction. I initially dismissed it because, to be honest, the icon is a low priority for me, as there's a lot of stuff that still needs to be worked on to get the upcoming update ready, which is also why I wasn't very open to feedback, as I would much prefer to focus on getting feedback about the UI. I realize that was the wrong approach to the issue, hence why I'm writing this. Another reason is that the branding is a little different to how I planned it going forward. While currently, the icon and logo are sort of stuck together, I decided to separate it all out into three distinct bits: logo, icon, and mascots. I don't plan on changing that, they will remain separate. What is going to change is the icon itself. A recurring bit of criticism about the logo is that it doesn't feel related to Minecraft anymore. When I designed it, I just focused on making it readable. I tried to make it belong with the rest of the branding using evocative colors and shapes, but in the end, it appears that it lost too much character and ended up less appealing. As we speak, I'm currently working on a first iteration for a new design, which will hopefully tie-in with the program and the game it's based on: This new design is rather popular with the Mine-imator staff, and I hope it will be for the rest of you too. If there are any ideas or improvements you'd like to share, feel free to. Lastly, I'd like to apologize for my unprofessional and rude attitude. The rocky launch of Modelbench made it clear that transparency was important when it came to wanting to change how people use your program, but I hadn't realized that the icon would've been part of that too. I'll be sure to learn from that mistake and I hope we can move forward and work together in this next big step in the history of Mine-imator. Take care, y'all.

    Shoutout to @Voxy for putting up with my constant requests for vague close-up shots of all the new UIs we've worked on through the years. ? Mine-imator Community Edition 1.1.0 (Cancelled, revealed in 2016) Modelbench Beta (2018) Modelbench 1.0.0 (2020) Mine-imator 2.0.0 (2022) Really happy to see this 6-year long journey of a new UI coming to Mine-imator come full-circle in 2.0. I had my doubts when I first became a developer in 2017, but I'm glad we were persistent.

    Hey all! Yesterday, I wrote an announcement regarding the surprise reveal of what was then going to be the new icon for Mine-imator going forward, and how the negative reception of it made me reconsider this design choice. I took this opportunity to show you a different take on the icon, and judging by the overwhelmingly positive reactions, I think it's fair to say that we've got a winner on our hands! After a few minor tweaks and touch ups, I believe it's ready, waiting to be used once Mine-imator 1.3 launches. But wait, what about Modelbench? Well, obviously I couldn't leave its icon untouched! After all, the goal of the rebrand is to unify both apps into one identity, so it's only natural to give it a fancy new icon as well! There was one challenge to overcome. What could we put in that colorful hexagon? Putting a bunch of cubes seemed like an obvious answer, but it just didn't look quite right... The Mine-imator icon had a 3D, Minecraft styled item inside that hexagon, so... Modelbench would have to follow that template, or else it just wouldn't work. But what kind of item should it be? What object is best suited to illustrate the modeling process? What about a hammer? This was an idea from Nimi, that he had while we brainstormed. It could work, you can build stuff with one of those. The question was now, "what should it look like?". His proposal was a blacksmith's hammer, but I felt like it didn't fit the program's name too well. After all, it's called Modelbench, not Modelforge... (that would've been a neat name, though!) So, in the end, we settled on the good old claw hammer. And after a bit of quick rigging and tracing... Here they are! The Mine-imator family now has its own set of icons! I hope you'll like it just as much as the one I've shown yesterday, and once again, please share any feedback you might have! See you around!

    It'll still be a while till the next dev update, but after releasing a new alpha containing the new UI in Mine-imator for the beta testers and getting some feedback, I've decided to cancel the 1.3 update and release a 2.0 update next year. Make of this what you will.

    As announced by David, IPBoard, the software used to run the forums, has been updated to the latest version. Unfortunately, changes to the theming framework broke the Mine-imator Forums theme that has been with us for almost 6 years now, so I had to put something together to keep a bit of that spirit intact. However, please keep in mind that this theme is temporary. Some of you might already know that I've been working on a brand new design as part of the big rebrand/UI overhaul that's currently under progress. I've shared a few bits here and there, but I'll be making a proper announcement detailing all the changes once that's ready. If anything broke during the transition process, do let me know!

    Made a short clip for the monthly AnimChallenge on Facebook: The theme was "Cat's hidden talent". This could be a fun challenge to join if you're interested, any animation medium is allowed (that includes Mine-imator ): https://www.facebook.com/groups/AnimChallenge/

    I won FIRST place in the Desmos Global Math Art Contest! @david, I am dedicating this victory to you. You MADE my love for 3D graphics; I'm only realizing this now. I used to think that Minecraft was the reason for Mine-imator's success. But now it has dawned on me, the INGENUITY of the program is what made it great. You broke the limits of computer graphics back then, and I intend to follow you in your footsteps by reinventing 3D myself! I hope life is treating you well and stay safe! - Ezra Oppenheimer

    Next Engine Of MI When I became A Next Developer. Obviously If I pro enough at coding, etc. But If I get to that point, I will have a big project that is Remake Mine-Imator In Unity Engine. But I don't know this is happening or not. This is just a concept that I make/Design for Mine-Imator 2.0. Whether In Gamemaker Studio 4,Or Unity so here it is: So This is the farther Version, But This is predictions. I love predictions and I have little bit skills on prediction depends on the information I got.

    Woah, what? 1,000 Rep?! But... how? ;o; I ought to make a celebratory render. Even though my rendering skills have become a bit rusty after nearly a whole year of zero rendering motivation, so it'll likely take me a while... lol Thank you so much for all of the support you've given me throughout the past two years I've spent on here. It really means a lot to me.

    I saw Ethaniel at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
