  1. my crappy old glock isn't even recognizable here lol, crediting me for it almost feels overkill (very nice job sir)
  2. I've been completely absent from here for quite some time now, but I just went on some sort of Mine-Imator nostalgia... thing.  Dunno what to call it, not quite big or varied enough to call it a binge.     But yeah.   Just remembered this place and how much of a weirdly massive part of my life it once was.     It's a little sad seeing this once-lively community feeling kinda barren and disconnected, but it was bound to happen one day or another, and IPBoard forums are weeeellll past their peak in popularity.   Maybe the Discord is still alive and well, but I wanted nothing to do with that after the first time I joined.
    I do sorta wish I had done more with MI while I still used it, but my long-running productivity issues never really let me make the huge, epic, story based animations I dreamt up.   Oh well, it is what it is I guess.    Still pretty proud of the Armory at least.
    Not sure what I'm achieving by saying any of this, but I figured I might as well say *something* while I stop by.    Hope y'all are doing well!

  3. Thanks for the kind words! The Vector was one of the really early Armory guns and I never really got around to updating it because I hated making it in the first place. I kinda want to go back and remaster the jankiest weapons sometime soon, and that'll definitely be one of them.

    Tommy Gun

    holy crap this is pretty much mine-imator gun perfection accurate to the real gun as much as it needs to be but also truly faithful to the minecraft art style
  5. I meant to add it, but I didn't have the time. I'll try and get it done somewhere down the line when I find myself in the mood for working on the Armory again.
  6. UPDATE 34 - The Farewell-ish Update/The WWII Update Additions/changelog: As for the future of the Armory: Although this update's kinda meant as a way to close the Armory off, I do still enjoy working on it. I'll likely keep updating the Armory periodically for atleast another year, it just won't be very frequently as I've got a load of other stuff I want to do. Don't expect anything, but don't expect nothing. Requests for the most part are closed and won't be re-opened, but if there's a specific weapon you want for a project I'll gladly make it for you right away - just shoot me a PM here or on Discord and I'll get it to you as quickly as I can, and it'll wind up on the Armory publicly shortly after. Lastly, I just want to say thank you to everyone who's been involved with or used models from the Armory, I'm really amazed at how far this thing's managed to go thanks to y'all. Oh, also a couple things about this update: 1. I'm gonna try and make animations for a bunch of the guns here because currently very few have 'em, I will also try and do the same for some existing ones. 2. If you run into any issues with anything here, please let me know and I'll try to fix them as soon as I can. (may take a while anyways)
  7. The muzzle flashes there are pretty simple particles really. Turn off Spawn Constantly, use a small set of sprites out of the basic smoke particle, make 'em a randomized white-yellow-orange color, and make the animation stupid fast so they only show up for a frame or two. Then just tweak everything else until you've got a look you like. I'd personally recommend using a lot of randomization on the size and rotation of them.
  8. Tomorrow probably. Gonna be a pretty big one, but also the last planned one.
  9. that's it lads, pack your bags, we're leaving mine-imator has peaked, there's nowhere to go but down from here
  10. Somewhere in January. I would've picked a specific date but I don't yet know what days I work in January so I'm not sure when would be a good time to wrap up and post the update. (usually it takes STUPID long to just post the finished updates for whatever reason, like a few hours)
  11. ayy that's pretty smooth, good work lighting is basically nonexistent but it seems to be a random short animation so that's not really an issue
  12. It's a little tough to say this, but here goes: Over the past couple weeks, as I said I would, I've tried to get back into working on the Armory - but it's been going nowhere. I've given it some thought and have come to the realization that I can't really continue this project as a consistent/major thing much longer, for several reasons such as diversifying interests, having a job now, general personal stuff, the fact that most of my friends on this site have mostly or completely moved on, and admittedly just losing some interest in the Armory itself. So, as much as I'd like to keep this going forever, I simply no longer have the time to do this consistently without making myself miserable. Now, I'm not going to just leave it at that and let it die just like that. That'd be lame. So I'm ditching the plans I had for a return update on the 28th of this month, and instead I'm going to get together all the unreleased stuff I've got laying around (mostly ww2 update stuff), remake the lowest quality weapons in the Armory, get the attachments in a better/more versatile state, and try to knock out a few requests and essential/iconic weapons, and put it all in one big 'ol update sometime in January to give the Armory a satisfying end and leave it in a state where there isn't anything I'm dissatisfied with. I should note however, that this doesn't mean I will completely stop working on the Armory after that. I've got some neat update ideas laying around and there's still an obscene amount of requests that I'd still rather get through if I can. So chances are I'll set aside a couple weeks every now and then throughout 2022 and randomly release some weapons and stuff, it just won't be frequent or consistent. Also it's probably obvious but I'm closing off requests for good now, although if someone urgently needs a specific gun for a project of theirs I'd be more than happy to set aside a little time to make it for them. I want to end this post by just saying thank you so goddamn much to the people who helped out by making animations and weapons for this, made requests, made the original idea that I blantantly stole, and perhaps most of all those who used stuff from the Armory in their animations. (except in monster school anims smh my head) You guys made this project both possible and worthwhile, and this has really been one of the best parts of my life thus far.
  13. Hi, so, uhh, this is pretty embarassing. I meant for this to just be a little break and then I'd come back with the WWII update, but instead I got sidetracked and made next to no progress. I've come to realize that the WWII update is far too cumbersome of a project for me to just focus on solely (especially as my interests have branched out a lot over the past year so I've just got less time to dedicate to it), so I'm going to just keep it on the backburner and it'll come out whenever it's done. In the meantime, I'm going to try and get back to regular bi-weekly updates. It may take a couple weeks for me to get back into it as I'll likely need to reorient myself with regularly making gun models and stuff, but I SWEAR it won't take so absurdly long. So, yeah, sorry if you were really looking forward to that or still need your requests done. : / It'll be done eventually, even if it's the last goddamn thing I do.
  14. True. I've ended up (of course ._.) taking a much larger break than I meant to as I've been distracted with other, completely unrelated projects. The good news is that I'm conveniently done with all that as of today and I'm going to get back to work on the Armory very soon. Regular updates are still probably a while away as I'm probably going to try and finally wrap up the WWII update, which is still nowhere near as close to done as it should be.
