Has the Mine-imator community kept getting younger over the years or am I just an outlier?

Im working on a log cabin.

Finally got my drawing tablet
 

I'm now gonna be going as TOOSTRR because misspelled words are unique
Or Alpha Toostrr whatever it doesn't matter I misspelled a simple word

lol

Looks like I'm now officially the only developer working on Mine-imator.

is the best emoji, change my mind.

I think there is just a maturity gap.

Not sure if I mentioned it here on the forums(I know I have on the Discord.), but Modelbench 1.0.0 will have an option on by default to backup models like Mine-imator with settings to change how many is allowed to be saved and how frequent a model should be backed up. Now since the "Parts must have unique names" warning will still remain to prevent saving to the main file(Because Mine-imator won't load them and don't worry, it's been fixed.), backup files are not affected by this warning and will save with duplicate parts.

Damn, I would have had a nice morning if someone didn't act like rep matters.

I guess I’ll do it now.
Minecraft is a game I loved for years but recently I feel like Im either growing out of it or I just don’t like the way they are going with the game. Back when Microsoft bought Mojang I was optimistic nothing was going to change, that Minecraft would be fine but I think that was wrong. It seemed like everything was fine, Microsoft had no control over what Mojang does but behind the scenes I feel Microsoft has quite a bit to say in the development of Minecraft. But the real day Minecraft lost its charm was when it was ported to consoles. Yeah, sure call me a PC fanboy but I truly think this is when Minecraft truly started to go down hill. 
Now let me tell you a little something. Back in the beta days we didn’t have snapshots, hell the first snapshots were beta 1.9 and only a select amount of people got to test those. There was a charm not knowing what is coming next, not knowing what new mobs were added, not what new ores were added. Even back before I joined the game, which was beta 1.7.3, there were these things called secret Friday updates and they would always be out of the blue on a Friday. What made these so interesting is no one knew about them or what was in them. Youd get home after school on a Friday and boom, update available. Redstone was actually added in one of these updates and you know how much that changed the game. I never got to experience these updates but Im sure they were a lot of fun. This sends me back to my point. During all the 1.13 snapshots I refused to know what was going to be added, it was an experiment I suppose. It was hard with everyone talking about it. I just knew a few things. The results to this little experience were disappointing. Sure everything was cool, an ocean update, people have been asking that for years but something just felt off. The things that were added, did they have any real use? Actually thinking about it, Minecraft always had items that served some sort of purpose in some way, big or small you could find a way to use almost everything in the game. I want secret Friday updates back, I want no more snapshots. I want to excited just to play the game again. I hope someone can agree to what I have to say, I don’t want to feel alone on this.

attention all m-i users, david needs your help to implement obj support, motion blur, and auto-animation. to do this, he needs the sixteen digits on the front of your parents' credit card, the three digits on the back, and the expiration month and year. but be quick, or else david won't be able to implement any of these features

Has anyone modeled the scorpion from Minecon yet?

Hey look at that, a superhero theme I made from scratch
 

With the new conduit special block needing some certain properties, the model format now supports shapes facing the camera and bouncing like items. You might also notice the aqua-colored indicator for the parent's position has been changed-- it now sports a new look and when you click it, it selects the parent.

This has been requested a fair amount of times since Modelbench's release, so here's a new feature that hasn't been revealed yet coming to Modelbench and is already available in the Mine-imator 1.2.0 pre-releases. ?

Gotta say, @SKIBBZ's facial rig is fantastic.

The next update of Modelbench will likely bring it out of beta(Modelbench 1.0.0) and for awhile now, I've been making more additions to the general program to make it feel more complete. For example;

Upon further consideration of my previous warning of activating a kill switch for online Community Build clients, I've decided against the act after hearing feedback of the previously given warning. The in-program notice has thus been removed. As much as I'd recommend users to update to the latest vanilla version, I've found out that it's better to let users update at their own pace when their time is right to move on.
With this, the download for the Community Build version 1.0.3 will now be available again on the Community Build mod topic for those who want(ed) to see what the mod is about before being discontinued. Note that while the mod may now be available again, the mod will still remain unsupported. The Community Build mod topic has now also been updated to adjust to this change.
Now while the Community Build may just be a discontinued mod, I think it's important to realize that without it, Mine-imator wouldn't be what it is today.

I had more rep than David. Now I can finally leave the forums in peace.
