(mods reading this: I just wanted to say how mine-imator helped me in my personal life, If you feel this needs to be moved, please, do it.)
How it changed my life.
Okay, I found Mine-Imator around 0.6.2, I was hyped when I heard the release of 1.0.0, but disappointed when I forgot my password for the forums, so I couldn't say it in the mine-imator discontinuation thread, But, Mine-Imator has really changed my life, Back in the day, I was in to 3D animation, I recently quit that career, but I kept the animation going, David inspired me to become an artist and 2D animator around March this year, Now I'm fluent in drawing & animating cats, wolfs, and fantasy characters (well at least, some) and I really like what I do now.
Why you should use it.
It's an amazing and inspirational software, It might even help you in your 3D animation career if that's what your going for, Anyway, there's no words except amazing, haha, Anyway, go ahead and try it if you haven't!
Also, if any of you 'older' forum members remember me, thanks for remembering! It means a lot to know I still have old friends here.
