Good evening, citizens of the Mine-imator forums.
This is a quick update to confirm the fact that I am still very much alive (that some of you that I've chatted with on Discord should know already).
2016 was an unusually eventful and chaotic year on our floating ball of rock, both on the political fronts and in technology and entertainment, and my own life has not been an exception. For those interested (and to explain the lack of Mine-imator updates), here are some of the things I've been busy with the last year:
Finished university
After 3 long years it turns out I am one of the lucky few who survived university with a freshly baked Bachelor's degree in Computer Science in hand. For my thesis work, I cobbled together a CPU/GPU real-time ray tracing engine and wrote a 40+ page paper about it.
  Illustrated some books
Late last year I was approached to help out with a series of graphic novels made using Mine-imator. After finishing a total of four books (~200 pages each and with some help from @Frossa) I have had an unique opportunity to try out illustrating comics, which I dreamed of as a young lad, all thanks to Mine-imator and its popularity. You can find these books on Amazon (two released so far): 1, 2, 3, 4. If you're into wacky Minecraft adventures they might be worth checking out (don't forget to leave a nice review ).
  Got a cool job
Largely thanks to my degree (and to some extent my extensive online portfolio) I quickly got the opportunity to work as an IT consultant. This includes travelling the country and doing programming for various agencies and companies, while at the same time getting educated further in software development. With all expenses paid, this is a pretty good deal, eh? 
  New projects
Since I now have a full-time job to attend to, I'll have significantly less time for personal projects compared to when I was studying. This however is not going to stop me from making awesome and overly ambitious stuff, one of these being the fabled successor of Mine-imator. I can't tell you much more (because frankly, there's not much to show or tell as of yet ), but it will definitely not be limited to Minecraft or (most importantly) made in GameMaker. Whenever this is ready for beta-testing, I will make a proper announcement, so don't worry!
As for Mine-imator, the current incarnation will most likely be the final official version (as explained in the previous update topic), due to my desire to work on new projects and limited time. If you want additional features, I'd advise you to check out the Community Edition mod. With some consulting help from me and @Emunator, @Nimi has managed to create a darn good substitute of what Mine-imator would've been had I continued to work on it this year.
 
That's about it, let's hope for an even crazier (or not) 2017!
Happy animating!

So I stumbled across this epic song and I wanted to make something related to it. So I made some Templars.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I'll release the Templar rig either later today or tomorrow.

I haven't touched Mine-Imator in a while for wallpaper making, but I did make this in Cinema 4D. I'm still learning exterior lighting for scenes though.
 
Anyways, I felt like trying Mine-Imator again since it's been some time...
This was made to bypass time and attempt at being productive other than trying to reach 400+ hours into Dark Souls III.
What kind of story or sense do you get from this scene? Just curious, by the way.
Other than that, tell me what you think!

Hello, SKIBBZ here.
Today or tonight, depending on your timezone, I have decided to update my previous rig pack with more blades.
*Flashy trailer*
 
 
This updated rig pack comes with (seventeen now) weapons including the previous CS:GO knives.
There are (ten now) new additions than the last release.

It's a little hard to tell from the first image, but they are all rigged.

 
New! - I added Yhorm's Great Machete from Dark Souls III.

Hey guys! Here's a quick wallpaper that will serve as a promo picture for the upcoming Craftable Update on Mine-imator Realms! You'll find a little sneak-peek at one of the major features of this update, the new NPC villages. Enjoy!
