Where I've Been

To cut right to the chase: A couple years ago, I began my transition away from Mine-imator. I initially switched over to SFM on early 2022, where I continued to make renders, now with less blocky aesthetics. Having a more realistic look allowed me to have more freedom when it came to making the renders I wanted to make at the time. Not to mention, after making renders and animations with the Minecraft aesthetics for many years up until that point, I was growing tired of it. Then at the end of 2022, I switched over to the big piece of FOSS 3D software: Blender. It wasn't my first rodeo with Blender. I tried to use it many years ago as a kid, but it was so confusing to me that I gave up. Though this time, it felt different. Armed with my brief experience with SFM, and my years of experience with Mine-imator, the transition went surprisingly smooth. There were still bumps, but there were tons of great Blender tutorials on YouTube that helped teach me some things about the software. I was, and still am, having a blast using Blender. It's a fantastic piece of software.
I will always remain grateful to Mine-imator and its devs (David, Nimi, et al) for giving me an easy to use piece of software that allowed me to make what I wanted with a UI/UX that was friendly, welcoming, and simple. If anyone is looking for an easy start to 3D, I recommend Mine-imator. For those who have grown more experienced and want something more powerful, I recommend Blender. I'll probably go back to using Mine-imator if there's a cool collab being hosted that has the use of it as a requirement, but other than that, I can confidently say that my time with it has long since passed.
With all that being said, thank you to everyone for all the support on the stuff I've posted here, and for rightfully pointing out my shortcomings, both as a creator, and as a person. I'll probably share some of my Blender stuff on here eventually, if and when I remember to xd.

Decided to check up on this place after a while, and it's sad to see it isn't as active as it used to be, even if it was a little expected.
For the very few who still care, I am most active these days on Bluesky, where I post whatever Blender thing I make.

Mine-Imator Legends logo, done!
made it 3D~

Ez flag.

Affected by wind in two axis.

I made some adjustments to my Batgirl model. I added in the SFR V.6 face rig. In addition, I lengthened the hair, added some on the front, and fixed the bending for it.
If anyone has any suggestions for further tweaks feel free to share!

Hi everyone, the Minecraft Sound Pack has been updated to Minecraft 1.17! Check it out here: 
 

Hey all!
Yesterday, I wrote an announcement regarding the surprise reveal of what was then going to be the new icon for Mine-imator going forward, and how the negative reception of it made me reconsider this design choice.
I took this opportunity to show you a different take on the icon, and judging by the overwhelmingly positive reactions, I think it's fair to say that we've got a winner on our hands! After a few minor tweaks and touch ups, I believe it's ready, waiting to be used once Mine-imator 1.3 launches.
But wait, what about Modelbench? Well, obviously I couldn't leave its icon untouched! After all, the goal of the rebrand is to unify both apps into one identity, so it's only natural to give it a fancy new icon as well! There was one challenge to overcome. What could we put in that colorful hexagon? Putting a bunch of cubes seemed like an obvious answer, but it just didn't look quite right... The Mine-imator icon had a 3D, Minecraft styled item inside that hexagon, so... Modelbench would have to follow that template, or else it just wouldn't work. But what kind of item should it be? What object is best suited to illustrate the modeling process?
What about a hammer? This was an idea from Nimi, that he had while we brainstormed. It could work, you can build stuff with one of those. The question was now, "what should it look like?". His proposal was a blacksmith's hammer, but I felt like it didn't fit the program's name too well. After all, it's called Modelbench, not Modelforge... (that would've been a neat name, though!) So, in the end, we settled on the good old claw hammer. And after a bit of quick rigging and tracing...

Here they are! The Mine-imator family now has its own set of icons! I hope you'll like it just as much as the one I've shown yesterday, and once again, please share any feedback you might have!
See you around!

Merry Christmas, tomorrow will be my 5 year anniversary on the forums

I see your square pie and I raise you...

Regarding events taken place in recent topics...
If anybody has anything else they would like to say, they can take it up with me personally in PMs or Discord. I’m ready to listen to anybody’s thoughts and opinions if they feel like they were unheard. I’d rather not have anyone hold a grudge against me because of a single flame war.

Well, these past 24 Hours have been....Interesting to say the least.
all I have to say about this is: PIE

some people think pie is round, while others believe it is flat

You know, Id argue Redwoods isnt at fault at all. He stated an opinion and people freaked out. 

its been one year since @Rollo and i became moderators 

If you folks are playing on Java Edition 1.16.1, I highly recommend trying out Sodium. It's a client-side optimization mod from the same person behind Phosphor and Lithium.

Would you look at that. 3000 rep.

Don't you find it annoying when someone finds an immature comment you made a really long time ago and just downvotes it out of the blue?
