idk who cares about grass is missing or not if u care download here
Download
 
Mojang made change to grass name from " grass " to " short_grass " on version 1.20.3 Which cause Mine-imator not able to load grass
and fortunately it was simple fix, just change few lines code and rename "grass" to "short_grass" lol 

- Note: Don't Downgrade your world, it gonna delete grass from your world, and also not an option
- Other note: There is no 1.21 assets are in here, just a grass that had been rename to short grass to fix a world that on version 1.20.3 only+

Plugins, Are There Plans For It?

Hi, I'm not good with words so I will jump straight into the point. I think plugins are an essential tool for design programs like Blender, auto-Cad, Fusion360, Cinema4D ... all have their respective plugin catalogues which enables every creator to create in their own way in a way that is tailored to them by utilizing plugins. My question are there any plans for a plugin system for MineImator? Because setting up the whole development environment and being proficient enough in c++, c#, gml for creating a simple feature is a harsh requirement for any opensource project who's main target is not expected to have programming knowledge.
(I'm sorry for I can't help by contributing to this project cause I can't seem to get the development environment running [spent +10 hrs on this, yes I'm an idiot] )    
 
   
 

Two years after the release of Mine_imator Violet, it still boasts some unique features, such as volume fog. Although I no longer maintain this project, I sincerely hope that future developers can draw some inspiration from it.
Recently, We've noticed that there are individuals trying to modify the original version of Mine_imator and add new features. We believe that our previous work can provide some insights for such endeavors, which is why I've decided to release the code on GitHub.
In fact, I had previously published the code on Gitee, a Chinese code hosting platform. However, it seems that posting code on Gitee is now subject to scrutiny and I've received feedback from friends in other countries that they can't access the site. Given these issues, I've chosen to migrate the code to GitHub.
Btw there have always been rumors floating around that Mine_imator Violet is malware or contains viruses. I want to clarify that these claims are utterly baseless. In reality, if you have experience in writing Python scripts which reads or modifies files (exactly what the mouth animation generator and Minecraft model importer do) and share it, it's likely to be flagged by antivirus software and websites. Please don't spread those rumors; it really gets me down. I have now published all the code on GitHub, and welcome everyone to review it. If you confused, you can compile it yourself and check for yourself.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to leave a comment or raise an issue on the GitHub repository.

Based on the Advanced Auto Extrude model,
I bring you Opaque V1 For 2.0!
 
Features:
IK controls
Wrist & Ankle
Face Rig
Advanced Extrude
Selectable Hair
 
Including Presets:
Hat

Taper Hood

Bendable Mask

Details:
There're two types of Extrude. The first being the Advanced Auto Extrude, and the second being the selectable hair.
 Tutorial on how to Advanced-Auto-Extrude is included in the video, and for the selectable hair version, all you
have to do is to disable the skin parts of the head.
 
Also, I'd suggest to disable the IK for arms since arms don't really need IK in most situations.
EDIT:
I have fixed the wrist bending glitch, and also the teeth glitch where it doesn't rotate with the head. If you had downloaded before 7/17/2023, please re-download the model.

支持2.0正式版了，建议直接下载文件来进行替换。部分译文 在wiki上没有，如有确定或错误记得告诉我

Actually, BlockBench has an .MIMODEL Exporter addon inside it.

But the only problem is your model should be box UV so I will teach you how to change you models in to the box UV.
_________________________________________________
 
Frist, select all your cube (CTRL+A)

 
Then, click the "Create Texture"(CTRL+SHIFT+T)

 
Choose your "Pixel Density" and tick the "Box UV" then Confirm

 
It will create a new texture, then save it

 
BlockBench isn't very smart, sometime you need to fix the UV by yourself



 
When everything is done you can export to .MIMODEL

Angle target: another object in the scene to use for rotating towards. Angle offset: A rotation value to offset the twisting from the angle target. Blend: How much IK should rotate/bend the limb. 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
Added “Zoom amount” setting for the distort effect. Added “Rotational” mode for camera shake. Cameras can be closer to objects without clipping through them. Changes

Because nobody likes seeing wallpapers with lazily posed characters in vast and boring grassy fields, I bring to you "How to Make Wallpapers Properly", a place where everyone can learn how to improve their Mine-imator creations. This collection of tips is mainly aimed at beginners, but I'm sure more experienced people might learn a trick or two!
If there's a topic you'd like me to cover in future tips, please let me know! Enjoy!
 
 

 


 
 

 


 
 

 

 
 

 

Oh ok, I will do it.
Thanks for the tips
Emm..., seem like I need to do some rearrangement, cuz there are gaps between every two pics

This is the final version of Enchanted Armor
Using the same tricks as Keeponchucking's Hypercube
Preview Here:
 
Tips:
1. The effect works best on Netherite Armor, worst on Diamond Armor.
2. To,use this Model, first Extract the zip, then import the "Armed Steve", "Enchanted Item" and "Sky of Enchant".

everything looks very cool. but I still feel that there are things that I think are missing. one is this topic of local and global position in objects: link
and another topic would be (and I feel like it's still a topic of discussion for years) is the topic of "Bend in objects" (and I mean the bend as the bending of the arms and legs of the characters), I know that it's been here for a long time ( I was present) I know that a vote was made here between the "square bend" and the "soft bend" for version 0.7 of mine-imator and that in the end it was obtained in version 1.0.0. The point is that the "bend" Type applies to all objects that have it, and cannot be applied individually to each object. I think they should make the "bend" not be "global" but that each object has defined the type of "bend" that will be used in the project. In fact, in modelbench they could add the option of "type of bend" with the options "square" and "soft" to define it in the objects.
Likewise, all the work they have done so far is appreciated. I will really look forward to this new version.

I noted in the suggestions topic that bending in all directions had been confirmed for 1.3.0 but here we are in 2.0.0 and its not yet a thing. What's the hold up? Having the ability to bend Y and Z would make animating much easier and flexible. Right now I'm at the end of Glare vs Warden and if I had the ability to bend in all directions I wouldn't be cursing as much as I am right now trying to get things the exact way I want them to be without having to twist and turn and pull arms and legs in order to bend forwards and backwards and sideways
I accept animating is a complicated process with bits of colorful language here and there. But it shouldn't be THAT complicated
 

Hi,
 
I am good with parenting and all but one day I tried to animate this:
 
I was trying to make the player take to take out a golden apple out of his pocket when and remove the sword when I realized once you turn off parenting then it's turned off for the whole animation! So could you add this feature as it would really help me.
 
Thanks.

It's better to add Global / Local Coordinates. Example: Currently Mine-imator supports Global Coordinates for Position
Add Toggle for Global / Local Coordinates. It's useful for Entities when moving diagonally 
Other Programs support Global / Local Coordinates
