To obtain this, you can use folders.
I use this and it works well.

Thanks for your diligent and outstanding efforts over the years, what you've been able to accomplish with GameMaker is nothing short of astounding. Been a pleasure taking this silly little software to the next level with you and best of luck! 

Good luck with your life, guys
You guys changed my life after I found out about Mine-imator, If I didn't find out about this. I would be doing something else

All that I can say is: Thank you guys so much

You will always be remembered.
R.I.P.

The sixth prerelease is much better compared to the fifth. All those bugs that really interfered have been fixed. Thank you developers, you did a great job. Now we are waiting for the final version 2.0

A suggestion would be to add "Reflections" as a switcheable box on stuff, same way as we have "Glow", we should have "Reflections", and then tweak the amount of reflection and so on. Right now you just depend on the hardcoded settings on whatever was decided that it should have reflections as far as I know.

I can't run mine-imator on my laptop anymore because pre-release 4 ran so well and then when I installed this and it absolutely destroyed the performance of my laptop when trying to just render an image. I can't even imagine what will happen when I try to render an animation. I can't even protect my renders from thieves anymore because I can't insert my watermark anymore, all the removed features in this I wish we're brought back because I used them quite a bit. Along with all of this I'm still somewhat new to mine-imator and I just got used to the old UI which was perfectly fine and now I have to navigate this non user friendly interface which is confusing to look at.
 
I really loved the other pre-releases and I appreciate the hard work everyone who worked on this did but I just can't use it anymore. It's to complicated for me, my laptop can't handle it and it takes ages for it render anything. I hope the final product of 2.0 adds some of the removed features back and brings the old UI back and maybe so the person who made the new UI whose work wouldn't go to waste let people choose between the two UI's 

the armchair developers here
yikes
You guys are insane, I can't believe after a decade of using mine-imator that i'm actually gonna use IK . I can't even begin to comprehend the amount of trouble you guys went through just to please some internet people.

I've played around a bit more with 5.0
Here are my gripes
- I don't like the dropdowns. Get rid of them. Or give us an option to switch back to classic
- Render preview shouldn't crash the program. It was working just fine in 4.0
- It shouldn't take 60 minutes to render a 15 second animation. In 4.0 it took me 5 minutes to render a 15 second animation
- Missing assets when importing a file from a previous version and also assets being split and thrown randomly into other areas. Who's the genius that decided to put the bell stand in Special Objects but put the actual bell in Blocks? They go together. They went together in 4.0 and prior versions. But now they are separate? Its like boats. Why are oars separate? Why are they in blocks? Why should I have to manually parent Oars back onto the Boat? That's just dumb
 
I'll be using 4.0 from here on out

No? I'm saying the new UI is harder to use, it was better before. I've used Mine-Imator for years and this is the first time they're done an update I haven't liked.

They've also removed a lot of the features I used ALL THE TIME and I don't like that too much.

where do I find glow settings

For those who are looking for IK, it's under the constraints tab in the properties window. 

Hello everyone! The second phase for Mine-imator 2.0's pre-releases is now available for testing, this phase includes overhauls to the interface, rendering, and animation, and plenty of quality-of-life additions. As always, please report them in the Issues and Bugs subforum with as much information as possible included in your topic and project files if possible.

Limbs that meet this criteria will support inverse kinematics: The body part must have bending. Can only bend on the X axis. Defines the "End offset" setting. (Ex. Distance from elbow to hand, knee to foot, etc.) Animation
Block texture animations, wind, clouds, and particles are synced with the animation. Particles will be cleared if the marker goes backwards. Added "Bézier" transition. Added “Wind influence” slider for objects. Organized the transitions list. Camera

Mine-imator is for everyone, and the English-only rule is to make sure everyone can understand your topics (including non Spanish speakers). As the rule states, you can speak in Spanish in private messages. You may use Google Translate if you are unable to write in English.

- hola mine imator es uno de los programas de animacion mas populares de minecraft, pero eso no significa que mine imator y su comunidad no puedan hablar español, porque yo creo que mine imator es para todos y es ridiculo que me hayan puesto una multa de "solo puedes hablar ingles" No digo que me moleste y no estoy tratando de atacar a alguien, solo creo que no es justo para aquellos que no pueden hablar ingles, porque el programa es totalmente para todo, ¿no es así?
- Hello, mine imator is one of the most popular minecraft animation programs, but that does not mean that mine imator and its community cannot speak Spanish, because I believe that mine imator is for everyone and it is ridiculous that they have given me a fine of "only Can you speak English" I'm not saying that it bothers me and I'm not trying to attack someone, I just think that it's not fair for those who can't speak English, because the program is totally for everything, isn't it?

the home screen has glitches, shaking a lot

SO COOL！But my biggest expectation is that Mine-imator can support more languages, because my English is actually not very good！

For everybody to enjoy the Mine-imator forums, we must make an effort to follow some guidelines.
Speak English
English is the language of the internet, including the Mine-imator forums. You can speak in whatever language you want in PMs, though. Don't create duplicate topics
Keep the amount of topics to a minimum to improve the browsing experience for other members. Don't make more than one account
It takes up forum space, causes confusion between members and makes moderation a headache.
Alternate accounts will be detected, removed and a warning issued to the original account. Post in the correct subforum
If you're unsure, see the header in each subforum to see what you can and what you cannot post there.
Topics that are posted in the wrong place will be moved by a moderator. Don't use oversized signatures
To save everyone from breaking their mouse scroll wheel, keep the signature size to a minimum. 200-250 pixels tall is the absolute maximum. If your signature is ridiculously tall, a moderator will remove it and give you a warning. Don't abuse the Reputation system
The Reputation system was made to highlight  and incentivize helpful and constructive posts. Do not give up- or down-reps to a member just for the sake of increasing or decreasing their rank, or create shops to harvest Reputation in exchange for services. Doing this will result with a warning and eventually your Reputation reset to 0. Don't chat
The forums are for intelligent discussions and not small talk. If you want to chat, go here or use the PM system. Don't use adf.ly or similar services
Unless you are the rightful owner of the thing you're linking to. Don't post a status update about a new topic you've started
If the topic is still visible under "Recent Topics" Do not revive dead topics
A topic is "dead" if the latest reply is more than 2 months old. Rather than bumping them to the top, start a new topic. You may revive your own topics, as long as you add new information. Topic revival is only allowed if the topic is posted in the Mine-imator creations or Mine-imator resources sections of the forums. Use the report button, don't resort to mini-modding
If someone is breaking any of the rules here, don't post anything. Rather, press the "Report" button in the top left of the offender's post. This will alert all moderators, leaving a message like "This is posted in the wrong forum!" will not. Taking matters into your own hands like this is called mini-modding, and posts like that take up space and do not add anything to the topic. Read more about mini-modding here. Do not impersonate others
This includes regular members, moderators or banned users (by using the infamous "BANNED" avatar) These things are not tolerated ANYWHERE on the forums (including the Discord and PMs)
Discussions of illegal subjects/activities (this includes software cracking, torrenting, etc.) Offensive/racist/rude behavior or imagery Bullying or discrimination Spamming (constantly posting the same content, nonsense or useless posts just to get noticed) Pointless swearing/overuse of CAPS Gore/Screamers or other frightening imagery Links to viruses/trojans/malware Images of/links/heavy references to sexual content Advertising potentially malicious products or sites (if you are unsure, ask a moderator) Flashing imagery or excessive use of colors, special characters, smileys and/or oversized fonts Breaking the above rules will result with a warning sent to you by a moderator/administrator. Repeated warnings will result with a banning of your account.
 
 
If we follow these rules, we can all have a good ol' time!

Can the people in this forum only criticize?  no one ever comments on the good part
