Hey everyone. I know it's been a long time since I've been on here (four years?), and I feel like this is probably going to be my last post.
In short, a lot of things happened in my life, and while none of them are particularly momentous, I sorta moved on from Mine-imator. Not like it's a bad program or anything, I feel like I've been invested too much in new hobbies to continue making rigs, renders, and animations.
I have a Reddit account (u/pirakaplant) if y'all wanna see my cringe memes/furry stuff/other things, but it's very different from the stuff I posted when I was a youngin'. It might not be to your taste, and it's okay if it isn't!! Just if you wanted to see more of who I am today.
Also, dunno if it's worth mentioning, but I discovered I'm a girl ... sorta. Gender is weird.
Peace out! Love y'all, you really made my younger years count.

So I've been thinking for a while now, since I'm not really active here anymore I might just stop worrying about forcing myself to be on here from time to time and abandon the account. I am active other places and I'm not quitting anything, I just keep forgetting about this website. If anyone cares to see what I'm, doing my twitter and discord can be found on the contact methods area of the account. Its been a fun time, goodbye.

Alright, I think it's best to just put all my thoughts in one place to make things clearer.
I didn't really expect that revealing the new icon in a joke post would cause such a reaction. I initially dismissed it because, to be honest, the icon is a low priority for me, as there's a lot of stuff that still needs to be worked on to get the upcoming update ready, which is also why I wasn't very open to feedback, as I would much prefer to focus on getting feedback about the UI. I realize that was the wrong approach to the issue, hence why I'm writing this.
Another reason is that the branding is a little different to how I planned it going forward. While currently, the icon and logo are sort of stuck together, I decided to separate it all out into three distinct bits: logo, icon, and mascots. I don't plan on changing that, they will remain separate.
What is going to change is the icon itself. A recurring bit of criticism about the logo is that it doesn't feel related to Minecraft anymore. When I designed it, I just focused on making it readable. I tried to make it belong with the rest of the branding using evocative colors and shapes, but in the end, it appears that it lost too much character and ended up less appealing. As we speak, I'm currently working on a first iteration for a new design, which will hopefully tie-in with the program and the game it's based on:

This new design is rather popular with the Mine-imator staff, and I hope it will be for the rest of you too. If there are any ideas or improvements you'd like to share, feel free to.
Lastly, I'd like to apologize for my unprofessional and rude attitude. The rocky launch of Modelbench made it clear that transparency was important when it came to wanting to change how people use your program, but I hadn't realized that the icon would've been part of that too. I'll be sure to learn from that mistake and I hope we can move forward and work together in this next big step in the history of Mine-imator.
Take care, y'all. ✌️

Finally, a WIP after so long

Almost finished now, might even be releasing Pack 7 sometime within the next day or so.

This is so sad ?

It's turkey day

Another pose test, this time with my main character, Dave. I ought to provide a bit of an explanation for this one... 
I randomly decided to see if I could make him facepalm (facefoot?)... let's just say it's pretty hard to do so, given that he's a Creeper.
...so here's my best attempt lol

This is probably the most awkward thing I've ever made... still happy with the result though.
Okay, time to work on something else.

I just finished a wallpaper, I think I will post it tomorrow if I remember.

woah i won the day

watch dogs legion is fun and good so far. only issues i have with it currently: 
you're forced to use DLSS to avoid lag 
enabling raytracing (even the lowest settings) does a huuuuge performance drop even though my PC can clearly handle it (i've tried it on minecraft)
there's some sounds reused from watch dogs 2 (for example the beep boop noise when you open a door with a keycode)
grandma quests are one of the hardest recruiting quests in the game (seriously i just want to build the chop-chop gang smh)
i've heard some NPC lines multiple times already on day one
the map isn't any larger than watch dogs 2 (though it's packed with content) 
faces (especially beards and hair) look really off
some voice lines get cut off which is kinda annoyi
 

nimi's asleep time to post some teaser
