Greetings!
With the 10 year anniversary of Mine-imator coming up, I’ve decided to temporarily rejoin the developer team and add some long requested features you will soon be able to download in an upcoming version 2.0 pre-release arriving late May/early June! 
@Nimi has done some phenomenal work on new features (many not even announced yet!), however the graphics engine used (GameMaker) has been a big obstacle towards optimizing the software and ensuring good framerates and memory usage with all the new additions. Therefore I have jumped in to lend a hand and I've finally been able to successfully migrate Mine-imator to a new graphics engine using the C++ programming language for added performance, optimized memory (x64) and multi-platform support. For all the technical details see the bottom of the post.
In order to facilitate the development we have greatly appreciated your support throughout the years, creating and sharing content, giving suggestions, reporting bugs and especially with donations! Mine-imator has for the past decade been completely free and will remain so, but your donations have helped keep it alive with webserver costs and directly funded the development of version 2.0 (for instance, I had to get a MacBook for this update 😉). If you have not donated yet to the development team or wish to continue supporting, see the link below:
Donate to Mine-imator development ($5+ one-time or recurring)
With all that aside, let’s get to the new features found in the first 2.0 pre-release, later followed by additional releases with Nimi’s UI changes, animation improvements and rendering features (See Dev Update #21)!
Let’s get HYPED!   
 
Starting off small yet useful, an actually working Cancel option when clicking the program’s X!
 
 
Next up something for the multi-monitor animators: No more crammed workspaces, simply detach your timeline or camera view into a second window and drag it to another screen!
 

 
Scenery/.schematic file loading has been multi-threaded and optimized to be around 10 times faster as well as taking up less memory, allowing much bigger regions than before! In addition, the scenery is cached and instantly loaded upon re-opening your project (with no loading bar).
 
 
Mine-imator will soon be able to handle much more complex projects with a speedup between 3-5 times compared to earlier versions when rendering many objects. This is made possible with CPU optimizations and combining objects into batches before sending them to the GPU for rendering (Mine-imator will not be allocating more CPU resources compared to current versions, just using them more efficiently).

 
Linux users have been left out of using Mine-imator for 10 years, but no more! Version 2.0 will run smoothly on Debian/Ubuntu operating systems with all the same features!
(P.S. If you have another favorite Linux distribution let us know)

 
Same goes for Mac OS users after countless requests!

 
Finally, the “Import from World” option has been completely reworked to have a 3D interface for more easily selecting a section of your world to animate. Despite being 3D and having more options, it will also load worlds much more quickly compared to the current version and in general be more stable. It will also be integrated into the software rather than opening a pop-up window, and accessed with a shortcut in the toolbar.

 
 
Behind the scenes of the 2.0 C++ port:
(Things will get technical and nerdy, you have been warned!!)

Be sure to keep an eye out for the upcoming pre-releases, following our Twitter page or joining our Discord chat might be a good idea. 😎✌️
Once again thank you for all the support through the years and keep on animating our favorite block game!

can we please make the mine imator rigs for characters and mobs move like cinema 4D and blender minecraft rigs it would make animating easier

Man...

give him some help lol

I think you all know that I use two different styles, Minecraftish (Pixelish) and then this here. 
Well I just finished the 44th. Version of my Models so I thought I'd give all in.
 
I made
New 3rd GEN SKIN (V 32 - 38) All bends were remade and have been given bigger numbers of Bend size 3D extrudings have been realigned Changed the Name from "Fox Miner's Facial Rig" to "Fox Miner's Human Model"   
Sadly these are still not going to be realesed, maybe in the future, but I can't make any promises! 
 
 
Sheesh I just realized that I wrote "Fox Miner's Facial Rig + Model" into the image... Anyways it's "Fox Miner's Human Model" 

The wait is finally over!
REvO-5: Modern Railway pack is here.
This pack wouldn't be released without your support, thank you to all of you who always supports my work.

naughty word warning
 

Hello everyone! It's been a while since the last dev update, and I'm sure you have questions about the update and what's taking so long, so let's start with answering that.
What's taking so long?
In the previous dev update, I mentioned that I was working on "Inventory", the new UI for Mine-imator. This ended up taking a while to finish and pushing back when I planned to start on optimizations for rendering. I've since finished optimizations and now wrapping up any final graphical features for the update.

A change of plans
As many of you know, the "Caves & Cliffs" update for Minecraft has been split into two parts. This delay in the second half of the update will give me more time to further refine the update and improve areas where the program lacks, like animation. This of course will result in a delay of the update into next year, Mine-imator's 10th anniversary.

The Anniversary Update
With this new delay for the update going into Spring 2022, I've decided to rebrand the next major update from "Mine-imator 1.3" to "Mine-imator 2.0: The Anniversary Update". With overhauls to graphics, UI, and eventually animation (?), both david and I believe this update is deserving of the 2.0 title. I can't say for sure what new features will be coming in the next coming months for the update, but I'm sure the update will be worth the wait.

W.I.P. feature gallery
It would be pretty cruel to end the update with nothing to show, especially with how long its been since the last dev update. So here's some early previews of what's in store. Do note that things are still subject to change in development and the following may/may not be final. ?
 
That about wraps this dev update up, I doubt anyone was hoping for a delay on the update, but I hope these exciting announcements offer plenty of hype for what's still to come!

Yey i'm landing on mine-imator forum

To be honest, the ending was quite disappointing. I'll come back with something more crazy.
Some of the forum members are in this video as cameos. See if you could find them!

Finally got around to doing some showcase renders of the Wall-E model. He was made entirely in Mine-imator, and I used paint.net to create the textures. Our internet was out for a while, so I spent around 4 hours or so gathering reference pictures of Wall-E from every possible angle, then used those images to model him within Mine-imator. it was a pretty fun little challenge! Eve is also here, you might've already seen some of the wallpaper renders I've made of her, but she isn't quite ready for a full showcase yet. I think they look pretty good together! This was one of the models that I'd put the most effort into getting the movement done right. I'm VERY specific on how Wall-E moves in the movies, since so many people tend to get his joints wrong. Simple things like the way his wrists move, or the fact that his head rotates, and the neck doesn't. The pistons in his neck and wrists, the hydraulics in his tracks, the lasers, all of that is important to get just right, or else the likeness won't be close enough to me. It took a lot of work, but I'm very happy with the result!
Here is all of his current features:
Movie accurate articulation (The only exception being the compressor and latch on his back) Animatable solar charge display Interior compactor detailing Functioning track hydraulics Opening solar panels Can be transformed into Cube form Reflective lenses Functioning Treads (Adjusted for animation and animated by @niam) Gimmicks (Laser, Eyelids, etc)

What is Dot-Array?:
This Dot-Array is an MMD (MikuMikuDance) model transformation project based on the DotArray program for Mine-Imator. Most of the model designs were created by other users for the MMD program, the public character designs were transferred to Mine-Imator through this project that was formerly called "Pixeloid" (2014).
These models can be used and edited with total freedom, as long as they are NOT commercialized and try to make money with it. (this includes paid links like adfly).
For more information, read the Terms of Use.

Working hard or hardly working? Haha! So anyway I'm gonna need those animations on my desk by the end of the day, alright? Oh, and Rollo's got a new character and model pack in the conference room you can pick up on your way to my office. The guys at the water cooler tell me it includes 10 different skins, each with 3 different colored variants based on the game Sub Rosa!

Oh, and get this: It also comes with 8 business-related models!
A suitcase, a floppy disk, a stack of money, a bendy dollar bill, a clipboard with a detachable bendy piece of paper, a pen, a pencil, and a state of the art wireless cell phone! Everything you need to conduct deals and business!
Check this out, the suitcase hinges bend when you open the lid! And you can easily recolor the floppy disk to whatever color you want!

Alright I gotta go, I need to finish that wallpaper if I want that raise! Tell the wife I said hi, alright?
 


You can also download a pack of Minecraft-usable skins if you want. Also includes the rigged skins and .pdn files.
The female characters use a modified version of RedAnimator's female template. It's been so long I doubt he cares but if he does, and he's reading this, he should tell me!

Hello everyone, and hope you're all doing well!
It's been a while since the last dev update, a lot of crazy stuff has been going on in the world since then. However despite the madness, I still found time to work on the next exciting update for Mine-imator! Not much progress has been since then, but I figured I would show off some things I've been working on. The renders featured in this dev update were made by @Keep on Chucking.
Volumetric fog
For those who have seen the last dev update, I showed off the new volumetric rays. Originally, I wanted to make the rays a proper volumetric fog with sunlight scattering through. After revisiting this feature this past Summer, I've upgraded them to a proper fog effect! This effect can be used alongside the default fog included in Mine-imator and there will be an option to switch back to the volumetric rays shown in the previous dev update.
 
Indirect lighting / SSGI
New shadows? Improved ambient lighting? There no way lighting can get any better.. can it?! It can. Introducing: Indirect lighting, a secret ingredient among many to making your lighting really pop in your scene by allowing direct lighting to be casted from bright objects automatically, and allowing light to bounce from objects directly lit by light sources and tint the surrounding area! This feature really brightens your scene up and makes lighting a lot easier to set up. However, due to being a screen space rendering technique, the effect will only work with lit objects that are visible to the camera.
 
Inventory
After overhauling the rendering in Mine-imator, I'm now onto integrating the rebrand in Mine-imator. Inventory is the name @Voxy has decided on for the slick design language Modelbench uses and what Mine-imator will eventually receive in the next major update. This process will take a while, as Mine-imator's codebase is arguably bigger than Modelbench's. In the meantime, if you have any questions concerning the new interface, feel free to drop them below in the replies for Voxy to answer in an upcoming Q&A post!
That's all I've got to show for now unfortunately! While things may be moving at the pace of a snail, I'm afraid things won't speed up any time soon since I'm the only developer working on this update after all, and I have a part-time job and doing full-time college. However there's no need to fret, as Voxy and I are trying our best to make this the best update we can possibly (and reasonably) make it. Until next time, keep on animating.
Oh, and of course, one last thing...
 

Oblivion rig generation 6.0 is here
 
New improvements, new tweaks!
Oblivion got a rehaul with the 6.0 update, giving him bendable extrusions, fixed controls on the face, brand new fingers that don't stretch, but still retain their proportional lengths and finally (and most importantly), 15 Different rig varieties (one of them being a placeholder, but you could also use it as a bald character). It's not as simple as just importing and animating with the rig, as the bendable extrusions make it too laggy; that's why there's a placeholder rig included, which you use to animate and copy the keyframes over to the actual rig. More about that in the YouTube video.
