Bro I could see this being an incredible full animation or series, I love everything about it. Btw @OzFalcon This music is sick and works perfectly, fantastic job on that end too.

To tell you the truth I didn't even know you could repeat textures in the Library tab, much less create real-time volumetric lighting. You never disappoint, my friend, keep it up!

First try updating your graphics card's drivers. If that doesn't work, there's not really anything you can do except buy a better graphics card, unfortunately.

The most use I can see coming out of rich presence for MI would be the project's title, which a lot of people would want to keep under wraps until release anyway. Discord rich presence sounds neat on paper but I really don't think it'd be helpful in practice.

Have you tried moving the texture change keyframe a frame back? This looks like a bug to me, though I'm not sure it's possible to fix.

Do you have any warnings, and what are they for? I have 4 warnings. 3 of them are from years and years ago for spamming, when I was a kid who didn't really... grasp the concept? The last one is from a while ago too but I've regretted it since and am now on good terms with the guy affected. What is your age? 17 How often are you active on the forums and what is your timezone? I'm constantly on the forums. I check it multiple times a day and look at every Recent Topic and Status Update, and have been since I signed up. UTC-7. Why do you want to become a moderator and why should we pick you? Basically the same reason I moderate the Discord, to help people out, encourage a more helpful environment, and get rid of the rule-breaking stuff. I've been around on the forums since 2015 so I know the ropes, and even already have experience moderating an IPBoard site, so I know my way around the tools, how IPBoard sites function, and the responsibilities involved with moderating. Since we're at a shortage of mods now, I feel like I'm one of the most qualified for the job. Edit: Oh yeah, and I'd also really like to finish working on the dark theme I started making with Emunator before he left. Are you willing to join the official Discord server if you already haven't, and to be a moderator there as well? Absolutely, I already do. A couple months ago it was thought that I was really inactive, and I realized it was my fault for not engaging with the community enough in their conversations and such. Since then I think I'm doing good and can easily take on forum moderation as well.

@MineMozo suggested on the official Discord a kind of loading screen tip system. I said "Yep, what a concept!" and decided to whip something up to see what it might look like. I'm just showing 15 examples here, I don't think it would switch between them so fast. I think it could be a nice feature, just not sure how many tips we could actually put.

Hey! I got tired of seeing flatland grass in test animations, so I decided to make some simple patterns for people to use instead, in the form of a resource pack. All you need to do is import the zip file in the ground texture selector and pick one of the options. I noticed the one with high-res textures made my Mine-imator crash, so there's a regular version and a low-spec version with lower-res textures. I recommend trying the complete version on a blank project, and switching to the low-spec if it doesn't work out. Here's a gif showcasing just a few of my favorites of the basic textures (these ones aren't affected by the low-spec version of course). Click here for a higher res version of the gif There are around 50 variants in total, including higher-res ones. And of course, some Source dev textures: Complete Download Low-Spec Download https://i.imgur.com/wrBRhV5.png

I remember the first mod ever made for Mine-imator was one that let you change all those images. It would be nice to have in the base program.

So sexy and hot!!!!

Never thought I'd see my old lightsaber rig in a real wallpaper ? It's also interesting how you modified it to make the outside light glow and only render the glow, I never would have thought of that. Really great job

@Ghatos

I know what he means, I just thought the enter button paused it like you said. That's how it works in Vegas, just confused em

Does the enter key do anything different? I thought it did what you're looking for.

While that's a perfect thing to aim for, there is a point where 90% of the wallpaper is full of stuff you can't see and the camera angle implies it's important. For example, Steve is blurry but the city is clear due to DOF, which tells our eyes to look at the city first, which is a bit too dark to see anyway. I like the scenery you chose though. It is possible to make a gloomy scene while still having texture and visibility to your lighting though. I would recommend trying to emulate a bit of moonlight to cast on everything. It doesn't have to be bright, just needs to illuminate important corners enough for us to at least recognize at first glance what the wallpaper is about. It would also help to try out other camera effects in the future, like color correction and vignettes to get a more gloomy and stylized look without sacrificing boringness. Steve's pose could also be a little more interesting. First time using Mine-imator though? I mean come on, this is fantastic for a beginner. The more I zoomed in on the wallpaper the more detail I found that I'm guessing most people didn't find at first glance. The skybox is a great choice, the scenery looks awesome, and the torch lighting is alright. I actually liked scrolling through the city, zoomed in, more than looking at Steve, who you say is the main subject of the wallpaper. Just a thought in that regard. All in all though, this is great and you're already on the right path. Just practice a bunch and you'll definitely see natural improvement really soon I'm guessing.

Looks pretty good for a beginner. Honestly not much else to say, I think you have the fundamental ideas down and you'll just improve what you've got as you practice more. My advice is just keep making stuff. As for the image size question:

I'm saying I don't think David can change that. Would be nice to have a choice but I don't think David can easily give us a choice.

It doesn't give you notifications of you just react to it. Also, I don't think they have the option to let you choose whether or not you get notifications for it.
