Notes:
Development of new features has ended and only critical bugfixes will be done going forward. Future updates are not guaranteed and will be infrequent. Most AMD cards and integrated graphics cards are prone to have poor performance, artifacts, and crashes relating to high-quality rendering. If you encounter any of these issues, we recommend staying with Mine-imator 1.2.9 for your projects.

Version 2.0.2 (Nov 12th, 2023):
Changes
Adjusted Minecraft font. Added a button to close the notification for a new update. Bugfixes
Fixed Ambient Occlusion not behaving correctly with Opacity and Emissive values. Fixed crash when using a skin texture for Armor special blocks/body parts. (The texture is now ignored, as only resource packs are supported.)  Fixed blurry textures in the Shaded mode on Mac/Linux. Known issue: This fix causes the enchantment glint to not be blurred for these platforms.  
Version 2.0.1 (Oct 28th, 2023):
 
Version 2.0.0 - Anniversary Update (Mar 1st, 2023), changes since 1.2.9:
 

Hello everyone, this will be my final dev update as we near 2.0's release.
Mine-imator 2.0's development has been one of many challenges since its first pre-release last May, but it's finally coming to a close. On March 1st, the full release for Mine-imator 2.0 alongside Modelbench 1.1.5 will be released here on the Mine-imator Forums. We've decided to do a limited release of the update due to unforeseen issues with specific hardware and the new rendering/ C++ engine, and won't be promoting the update on the website.
With the release of the much awaited 2.0 update, David and I will be leaving development of Mine-imator/Modelbench due to limited availability and wanting to pursue other projects. While active development will be over, patches may still come out if any critical/project-breaking bugs comes up but anything hardware or graphics related likely won't be fixed. The source code for Mine-imator and Modelbench will be updated accordingly on March 1st for any developers who want to mod the program and add their own features.
David and I would like to thank everyone who's used the program and donated to us over the years, and we hope you enjoy using the program as much as we've enjoyed making it. We've both learned a lot these past 10 years working on this project, and it's amazing to see how the users have pushed the program with their creations. I don't know what project I'll be doing next, but I'll probably take a break from programming and focus on other life things. It's been a stressful, but fun ride y'all. From the Mine-imator Community Build, to Modelbench, to Mine-imator 2.0.

Welcome to Mineimator Violet!
I am Excai, an amateur animator and programmer
Thanks to my friends, we have completed an exciting mineimator modding
Now let me introduce you to violet！
 
 
Post progressing update: 
You can moderate the color temperature of your renders now.
This new property can be found in ‘Camera-Color correction’.

We also improved the brightness algorithm in the "color correction" of camera settings.
 
 
Fog update: 
We added two types of fog in Mine-imator Violet, height fog and volume fog.
Both of them give your animations/pictures an entirely new look.
More importantly, they do not require expensive hardware or devices to use. Enjoy Mine-imating with them!
Height fog:
Volume fog:
 
 
 
Control FOV by camera length:
To handle some camera effects like Dolly Zoom correctly, we add a checkbox under the Field of View in the Camera tab.
When activated, "Field of view" will turn into "Camera length".
Now you can control your lens width smoothly!
 
 
Bezier ease curve：
We introduce the Bezier curve to you in Mine-imator Violet!
Using the Bezier curve could make our animation more controllable and fluent.
You can find it in ‘frame editor - Keyframe’, where you chose ease curve before.
 
 
Mouth animator:
Confused about making mouth animation? 
Our mouth animator will handle this hard-nut for you!
By using this mouth animator, you can get a correct mouth animation that varies in the mouth model.
Whatever your mouthes are, the mouth animator could generate animation based on the sound provided by you. 
You can find it on the toolbar, which looks like a lip plus.
 
 
Model importer:
We always dreamed of importing some excellent models from Minecraft mods easily.
Now the dream come true! 
You can import models from particular Resource packs and Minecraft mods into Mine-imator now, only in the Violet version.
 
 
Night theme:
Used to be a night owl? 
We provide an auto-changing night theme.
Take care of your precious eyes. :-)
 
 
Startup acceleration: 
Violet version has reduced the software startup time by 50%.
 
Multiple resources import：
Violet supports importing multiple texture files at once

Hello everyone! It's been a while since the last dev update, and I'm sure you have questions about the update and what's taking so long, so let's start with answering that.
What's taking so long?
In the previous dev update, I mentioned that I was working on "Inventory", the new UI for Mine-imator. This ended up taking a while to finish and pushing back when I planned to start on optimizations for rendering. I've since finished optimizations and now wrapping up any final graphical features for the update.

A change of plans
As many of you know, the "Caves & Cliffs" update for Minecraft has been split into two parts. This delay in the second half of the update will give me more time to further refine the update and improve areas where the program lacks, like animation. This of course will result in a delay of the update into next year, Mine-imator's 10th anniversary.

The Anniversary Update
With this new delay for the update going into Spring 2022, I've decided to rebrand the next major update from "Mine-imator 1.3" to "Mine-imator 2.0: The Anniversary Update". With overhauls to graphics, UI, and eventually animation (?), both david and I believe this update is deserving of the 2.0 title. I can't say for sure what new features will be coming in the next coming months for the update, but I'm sure the update will be worth the wait.

W.I.P. feature gallery
It would be pretty cruel to end the update with nothing to show, especially with how long its been since the last dev update. So here's some early previews of what's in store. Do note that things are still subject to change in development and the following may/may not be final. ?
 
That about wraps this dev update up, I doubt anyone was hoping for a delay on the update, but I hope these exciting announcements offer plenty of hype for what's still to come!

third post, maybe my last today idk, but here is another thing that you guys probably don't need but I thought I would post it anyways! 
here is a stove model i made quite some time back, it has a working door, and stuff, thats mainly it, just uses vanilla textures to try to be as within style as i could, even if the textures are a bit outdated at this point, i'm not gonna take the effort to update it right now. maybe a V2 in a furniture pack next time?
