Hey guys!
I know I haven't posted a new ACM in a while.
Before the new Modelbench I couldn't add or change anything,
and after the new Modelbench basically everyone was able to make fully extruded rigs/models.
But I still kept saving ideas on how to make a better ACM than the previous one (v3) and I recently felt like I had enough features and ideas to make the next ACM.
This one is special to me, because I made it using the techniques I use on my own characters' models
So, here it is, the Advanced Character Model: Special (ACM:S)
! Important stuff !
- Import the .miproject file! (Called "ACMS Steve.miproject" and "ACMS Alex.miproject")
- No credit needed, but would be appreciated.
- To show fingers, toggle the visibility of Right/Left Fingers and Right/Left Wrist 4.
Pros and Cons (relative to v3):
Pros:
- Bends are now limited and not sensitive
- The model is not laggy in unrendered mode (still somewhat laggy in rendered mode)
- Realistic ankles
- Alex fingers have 2 bend points instead of 1
- Removed controllers for easier use
Cons:
- It's pretty much the same as v3, except not as laggy so I guess no cons?

Overview:

Body straight and bent:


Ankle bend (These are the ankles that I usually use):

Fingers (Here you can see the alex fingers having 2 bends):

Greetings everyone! In this dev update, I'll be covering a handful of new features I've been working on for Mine-imator 1.3.0.
However, before we dive into the following eye candy, I want to mention that due to the sheer size of this update, its official release is not in the near future-- and doesn't have an ETA. Unlike the past two updates, 1.1.0 and 1.2.0, this update includes a variety of goals. This includes an effort to improve rendering, animation workflow, and the interface along with adding new features that may come with them. Though during development, I'll be posting dev updates more often to give insight on how development is going. With that being said, this post will highlight a couple of the first big improvements to come to the update. Renders used in this dev update were made by @Hozq.
 
Lighting improvements
The way lighting is applied to objects has changed in 1.3.0. Before, ambiance only affected dark areas, but now, ambiance is applied more accurately to the scene by being applied additively to pre-existing lighting in the scene. This allows for brighter scenes and improves the appearance of dark areas such as areas with AO.
 
Changes to shadows
Shadows are getting a significant upgrade in 1.3.0. Previously, shadows used a method that would blur all shadows in the scene. Now, shadows are rendered multiple times determined by a new samples setting that scatters the shadow maps of lights around, allowing for shadows to be harder near its caster, and softer the further away it is. (Also to clear up a misconception, this is not PCSS. )
An improvement was also made to the way sun shadows are cast, allowing the sun to act as a proper directional light in the scene.
 
Volumetric rays
This feature has been requested many times over the past few years, and is finally being added to 1.3.0. However due to (technical) restrictions, the rays are only available for the sun. These rays are not rendered in screen-space and will appear even if the sun is not in-frame.
 
As mentioned before, rendering isn't the only aspect of Mine-imator that will be getting improvements though however, that's the first part of this update I'll be tackling so it may be a while till other features are shown off. Until next time!

So here is Miles Morales from The spider verse movie.

It's been a while since I've animated something and uploaded it here
Contains minor gore in the thumbnail and in the video
 

So, thanks to @anima cryses, I have animated this masterpiece.

This wasn't meant to be a perfect remake, but I got it pretty close.
Thank you

PS: this was fairly rushed, but i feel proud of it, so that's why i'm posting it here

The car models were done by @Ghatos

DISPENSER DOWN!

"It's getting lonely, it's getting hard to breathe...
The arcade's empty, I think it's Christmas Eve...
Someone's broken in, now they're painting on my skin..
Breaking me and taking my quarters...
Bashing in my face with a crowbar..
Kicking me and pushing me over...
Now they see my blood on their sneakers."

BIG thanks to @Frost for helping me alot with the render!!!

First off, I'd like to say that I really appreciate all the work that has gone into Mine-Imator over the past few years! I've been using it on and off, but I'm glad to see that it's still in use.
I'm not sure if the developers are open to suggestions (or if this is the right place, please correct me if not), but something that I've been wondering about as I've played with the new version is the distortion feature. It's really great for making everything from really realisitic anamorphic scenes to crazy, warped out music videos. However, an issue arises when you go to export:

It seems like the effect is applied after cropping, etc, which warps the edges of the frame. It would be awesome if this effect was applied before cropping so the edges stayed straight. I'm not sure how complex this is, but it would be greatly appreciated! Obviously, there are workarounds like backing up the camera, exporting, and manually cropping later, but if there's a way to do it in the program, that's always appreciated.
Thanks!

Once the 212th and 501st learned of Krell's betrayal, they moved in to stop him before he could escape. This proved to be much more difficult than anticipated...

I would've loved to add particles to the stabbed clone but I can't make particles to save my life ?

I don't like this render

So you used a scene from Bladerinc and threw in a F N A F character (who does not fit in with the scene at ALL) and called it a day?

Basically just wanted to do this, to challenge myself. lol

 
Rules (lmao):
No claiming it's your creation.
Credit me if you use it.
No NSFW, you disgusting creep.
 
(Also use the bend function on the arm/legs not the bend part)

This is just a little thing I threw together using assets from today's 1.16 snapshot.

I'm not too happy with how it came out.
Idk how to make nether lighting not boring. ? There's just this weird ambient light that emits from no apparent location.

@9redwoods for his rig. @Phyre for giving me some tips on this wallpaper. The inspiration of this wallpaper is from EnchantedMob, from the first seconds of a scene in "Judgement". Constructive criticism is always welcome, and I know, thy vital thingy isn't perfect. But hey, no one's perfect. It's kind of soothing to see this, by my opinion... 
Edit: Fixed the AA, made some lighting tests, and somehow, thy particle creator launched alot of particles ?

Haven't posted anything since my last wallpaper...
I think I forgot how to Mine-Imator...
I legit forgot how to make wallpapers..
Unedited (2k)

Edited (2k)

Omfg... Now that I see both of them in comparison...
I think I may have over-edit the edited version..
( TURN DOWN THE CONTRAST )
Took 3 days to make this
It look so long to make because I was thinking on what should I put in the wallpaper.
This is all I had in mind..(And in My Rigs Folder)
