Hey guys i have been playing with the color tools in the minimator UI settings and came up with a neat color scheme similar to that of programs in the Sdobe Creative Suite. If you are a fan of the adobe after effects/ premier pro color schemes like I am you may want to try this on for size.

i think the glorious david might be working on a character creation tool for mineimator. its been mentioned in the faq "Q: Will this be the last update?
A: After 1.0.0, additional things like the mob builder, built-in facial animations, sound support and Mac support will be added into future updates."

the only free video editing programs out now are either crap or limmited versions of payed products. you could get a program called lightworks which is a free proffessional video editing program. how ever it is very advanced and requiers a pretty decent computer to run. while sony vegas ""PRO"" may be difficult to get because of its high price tag. there are some cheaper versions that won't cost an arm and a leg to get. one of these programs are "sony movie studio platinum" which is the next best thing to sony vegas pro. there are a few bells and whistles in vegas pro that vegas platinum doesn't have. but most of what you need is there. it has color correction tools. video effects, newbluefx plugin support and it has an easy learning curve. i have used vegas platinum for all the videos on my channel and the channels before it. so if you want a proper video editing program your best bet is to shell out some money for it. my personal recommendation is movie studio platinum.

This is a small test to see what mineimator can do. I did some camera movement demonstrations and messed with color correction to get this warm late noon color effect. Hope you guys like it.

I know you guys can't wait to get your hands on the next full update (neither can I!), but sadly you won't be getting it this year.
This has turned out to be a bigger project than imagined before.
For starters, this will pretty much be a completely rewrite of the program. In order for new exciting stuff like shaders, particles and customizable interface to work, pretty much all the code (~20000 lines and counting) must be redone, more or less. Also remember that this is all done by one guy, who has to balance the work with school.
 
Due to the scale of the update, I have decided to not call it 0.7, but 1.0.0. That's right, Mine-imator will be leaving Beta soon.
 
So what can you expect in the full version of Mine-imator? I'm aiming to make the program on par with some of the professional animating tools out there. To do this, the flexibility of the program and visual quality of animations must improve. To accomplish this, I upgraded the project to GM:Studio for improved graphics, and purchased the YoYoCompiler which converts the program to C++, for much more efficient CPU tasks (more info here).
 
This should make .schematic fans happy, since it allows much more blocks with faster loading times and rendering speed (framerate). The current Mine-imator version is embarrassingly slow at rendering blocks, and even a schematic as small as 100x100 blocks causes lag and decreases usability.
 
Here are my tests with the new GM:Studio+YYC, compared to the old Mine-imator 0.6.2/0.7 Demo for various schematic sizes:
 
100x100x32 (320000 blocks)
Old: Loading time: 45 seconds, Framerate: 95%
New: Loading time: 2 seconds, Framerate: 100%
 

 
200x200x40 (1600000 blocks)
Old: Loading time: 3 minutes, Framerate: 36%
New: Loading time: 6 seconds, Framerate: 100%
 

 
400x400x40 (6400000 blocks)
Old: -crashed-
New: Loading time: 17 seconds, Framerate: 96%-100%
 


 
500x500x25 (6250000 blocks)
Old: -crashed-
New: Loading time: 15 seconds, Framerate: 90%
 
500x500x50 (12500000 blocks)
Old: -crashed-
New: Loading time: 21 seconds, Framerate: 83%
 


 
Happy new 2014 everyone!

Hello,
I made an another image in paint.NET for the community and David.
This picture is with the Mine-Imator Model Creator from the future (unofficial).
Now david , you can make a idea about the design of the official model creator.
Please click on the photo for full size to can understand the words.

here is the first episode of my new series (the corruption)
this is the only episode posting on these forums because i feel it would get annoying if i made a forum post for every episode i made so if you want to see any of my future videos please subscribe it helps me out a lot
 
i will be needing voice actors soon so if you are interested please read below the video
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3If1ylkURw0&feature=youtu.be
 
here are the parts available for my series 
 
-Yaus: an arrogant noob who feels that he needs to impress everyone. (normally fails)
 
 -seth: an average miner that takes things a lot more seriously  then Yaus  
 
if you are interested in voice acting for my video series, then please send me a mediafire link to an mp3 of your desired character saying the sentence below and repeating it once for each of the fallowing emotions
 
normal
 
happy
 
scared
 
maniacal  
 
sad
 
 
please say this sentence once for every emotion 
 
"this pork chop seems to have expired. this means that the world is going to end for sure! but there is hope i have steak ."

now before i start i just want to say i already know about user made facial rigs,  but i do have a few problems with them.
 
 
1 too many parts to scroll through in the project library 
 
2 you cant really duplicate the rig since its a mine imator project file (unless your willing to duplicated every little part of the face) making it impossible to have multiple characters with a facial rig with in the same animation.project.
 
so it would be vary helpful if there was a special face rig for every character/mob
another thing that would be pretty cool is maybe a lip syncing tool within mine-imator. (for those who don't know what lip syncing is, it is where people fit the lip movement of an animated face with words to make it look like someone is talking.)
 
the glorious david  if you are reading this please take these features into consideration

this is a new series i am planning for my YouTube channel 
 
herobrine has become powerful enough to take players down... PERMANENTLY !
 
he wants to take over minecraft and destroy every miner possible. 
notch tried to stop this by locking herobrine in a nether prototype that was in an unreleased version of minecraft beta...
minecarft beta 1.6.6.6. yet some how some noob stumbles across the the patch on the web and installs it. he enjoys the world and tries to make a nether portal. when he enters  he spawns in a poorly generated fortress that is surrounded by nothing but endless lava. no nether rack. no mobs. just the minor, the fortress... and... and a crumbling a statue shaped like a minecraft character? 
 
PLEASE READ BELOW THE VIDEO
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=felKfE-joV8&feature=youtu.be
 
i will be looking for dedicated voice actors who are willing to be in the first ten episodes but can continue the series if they choose to so far i only need three characters. one of them being herobrine. the other two are the main characters one being a noob. his name is Yaus. the other character is named Seth and he is more serious about minecraft. where yaus is sort uf goofy and what thinks he knows more about minecraft then he does so he is always trying to impress people

As you may have noticed, there have not been much action in the development blog during the last two months.
This is mainly because I have been busy with other projects and schoolwork. One of these projects has been a Minecraft themed Team Fortress 2 map.
 

To play, click here and press "Play now!" The server cycles between this and two other maps.
 
I have however managed to complete the Import from world option that will feature in the upcoming 0.7 version of Mine-imator. Other features you can expect are:
Support for the new texture format and animated textures Particle effects (basically animated GIFs that can follow a certain movement pattern) Improved instances system with folders+expandable/collapsable items Separate timelines for body parts The Ender Dragon and Blaze mobs Also, I will try to port the program to the updated GM:Studio engine, which will allow for better performance with larger schematics and eventually updated 3D graphics.
 
The world importer can be downloaded here: http://www.stuffbydavid.com/downloads/Schematic exporter.zip
This program will in the future be embedded into Mine-imator and accessed with a simple click, the selected region will then automatically be imported into your animation.
 


Please report any issues/bugs if you find any. There's currently some problems with exporting areas with a width/length of 1. I'm looking into that.

had some i ideas for better animation quality. 
 
1 being able to adjust the speed of an animation for individual object instead of the whole animation ( key framing would be cool too for this part too)
 
2 being able to bend elbow an knee joints in the scene of an animation instead of the character settings (along with amputate-able elbows and knees)
 
3 having a version of every character/mob with an animate-able face (along with the normal characters)  
 
4 smoother movement in an animation
 
5 flexible torsos 
 
6  joint bends that don't look blocky ( this would only be necessary if flexible elbows, knees, and torsos where implemented  
 
 
 

'My father always knew what was best, and he always took care of me. Not a moment did he ever leave me behind. When he died I couldn't bear to lose him, I didn't know what to do else. He always kept me alive in this god forsaken land, and without his guidance I wouldn't survive.'
 
Well, here's my first creation. Really proud of this one as it took me a helluva long time to make this. It's very emotional as well, the darkest I've gone for such things.
 

 
If you like, leave a . It really helps me out and shows what you guys want more of.
