    ( Warning: Contains Blood ) Currently working on a digital painting with my boy Fosni using a new painting method to help me get out of line-art. Thoughts?

    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.

    Expect the next Mine-imator update this Friday (the 13th), including some bugfixes and the new bending mechanics for body parts! Modelbench will also be updated on this day, allowing you to create new models that bend in all possible directions. Get hyped!

    So I designed a junkyard robot or something and I thought the outcome was pretty alright. This final outcome wasn't exactly what I was going for. I'm learning a bit of digital painting from a video tutorial that I bought the other day and well I'm stuck with having lines in my art until I can find an easy way to remove the lines because it looks like this with the lines removed. I pretty much just wanted to share my first artwork with the public using this new method. Off topic: I just now saw that you can only like/dislike so much a day now, that sucks.

    I haven't uploaded anything here in a while. So I guess I'll share some more drawings and doodles I did. I'm really just drawing any character or ideas that pop into my head lately. It gives me a chance to expand my range of art I guess on what I can and can't draw. I do have an animation planned in the making if anyone is wondering.

    I decided to make a render/edit of a samurai dude that @LIsPixel re-created for me a while back in Cinema 4D. I saw his recent topic and that gave me the idea to make a wallpaper for this character I have. Plus I haven't really had the time to do things I wanted to lately. I used Cinema 4D to render the image, by the way. I really like how this one came out, but that's just me, what do you think of when you look at this guy?

    Figured I'd show you some drawings and doodles of mine I do on my free time The photo collage you see below is a mass of drawings and doodles on sticky notes I find at my workplace. This one's animated This one was just finished today 07/27/17 And you guys probably have already seen this one, but I'll drop it in here to fit with the rest.

    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!

    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!

    I saw this cool technique for making animated fire online, so I wanted to try it out in Mine-Imator.

    So... I tried my hand at making Mine-Imator look decent without any editing at all for once. All the images you see were done in vanilla Mine-Imator. Shocker

    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/

    The Forum software just updated and things look a little different, but should work about the same with a few extra quirks and features. Can you find them?

    For one glorious moment, I am the most popular contributor of the year. ... I've said before how much I appreciate all of you here, but being completely honest I see the bulk of you as my own family. I've never really belonged anywhere, and the fact that we can all come here and share our life's work, band together online, tell each other jokes or spread some Μemes is wonderful. I wouldn't give up the experiences we've shared together for the world, and their impact on me will surely follow me to the grave. I guess what I'm trying to say is... thank you, all of you, for giving this dweeb a place where he fits in.
