Massive thanks to both you and @david for making such an awesome program.

There's no denying Mine-imator has helped jumpstart so many people's careers with how accessible it is, whether they use it as a stepping stone to later move to Blender, or continue pushing its boundaries to create some real masterpieces. The influence Mine-imator has had on a whole generation of fans is incredible, and hopefully it'll continue for years to come!

Best of luck to you and David for wherever life takes you both, and keep being awesome!

Time for my yearly Creeper birthday celebratory render! (even though I'm two days late, whoops!)

This time however, I've decided to try a more unique concept; making a render that is ridiculously tall in size because why not.

So here you go, a ridiculously tall 768 x 8,192 render featuring a bunch of my Cursed Creepers to celebrate the Creepers' 13th birthday! 

Hopefully they've got a good sense of balance...

(Open the image in a new tab for a better view!)

It's here!

Damn, I can remember I was on the leaderboard for quite a while, now I'm no longer there at all... ;n;

To disable shadows in rendered mode, click on the gear icon to access Settings, then in the "Render" tab, un-check the "Shadows" check-box.

Alternatively, to only disable shadows in the Work Camera, click on the small lightbulb icon on the top-right of the viewport.

Click on "Insert image from URL", paste that link then add ".png" to the end of it and your image will embed.

What you're looking for isn't in the Settings. On this sidebar, click the second-last button's drop-down arrow; there you can toggle Ambient Occlusion and Lighting.

I used paint.net.

You do know Paint.NET has a line tool, right?

Average Minecraft enjoyer

The start of something beautiful.

This render was made as part of the #DearNimi collaboration.

Thank you for all you've done, Nimi. Keep on being awesome.

Best of luck for wherever life takes you next!

Bonus Render!

Loved suction cup man. Would be nice to see the tower though

That's true. But with a transparent background, he can climb anything.

And he will, because he's Suction Cup Man.

"Yeah, I'm climbing this forum topic. What're you gonna do about it?!"

Just a little render I whipped up in roughly the amount of time it takes Suction Cup Man to climb your tower.

Looks nice, although I would suggest making this a custom model with Modelbench, since the squashed texture of the arms and legs is rather noticeable.

1. Unnecessary; will be inconvenient for most people, and jarring to those who are used to how zooming in/out feature works already. There's no point in changing it.
2. Unnecessary; you can already manually insert keyframes by first clicking to select the location you want it to be, then clicking again.
3. Agreed, could be useful. Pretty sure I saw someone else suggest implementing the same thing for the in-menu values too.
4. Unnecessary; we already have the axes for moving objects.
5. The assets are already stored in the Library tab when you import them.
6. Unnecessary; that feature is better suited for Modelbench.
7. If you mean "having the work camera go to a selected object by pressing a button", totally agree, we need that.
8. Unnecessary; almost no-one would make use of such a feature, and if they wanted to, they'd just lower the alpha value of the desired objects instead.
9. Unnecessary.
10. Unnecessary; just click on the axis arrows/ in the viewport.
11. Unnecessary; the brightness of Spotlights and Point lights are already fully customisable, as is their range and fade size.
12. Not sure if this would be possible to implement easily. For example, how would it look on the timeline? It'd get messy very quickly if multiple parenting actions are keyframed.
13. Not feasible; how would the program know what object you're parenting it to? You need more than just a keybind.
14. Unnecessary; HQ Render mode already has a shortcut: F5.
15. Unnecessary.
16. You can kind-of already do this by changing the object's glow colour. It would be nice for the vales found in the Settings to be a "per project" thing rather than it being globally, imo.
17. Agreed, this would be especially nice if Stained Glass casts coloured shadows too.
18. Unnecessary; going fullscreen with F11 is a negligible difference to the standard windowed fullscreen.
19. Might be problematic to implement.
20. Your obligatory mentioning of reflections yet again lol (jokes aside, as nice as it'd be to have, it'll likely be too graphically taxing for most people; not everyone has a beefy graphics card, or one that even supports world-space reflections.
21. Agreed, if it's possible. Not sure if Game Maker itself supports that though.
22. This would be nice to have, although again, it might be too graphically taxing for most people, especially with reflections.
23. Definitely agreed, it's a shame a lot of the customisation is being taken away in 2.0...
24. Agreed, this would be a nice thing to have. Might be problematic with custom models, though.
25. Editing the settings of particles is supposed to be an advanced thing. Mine-imator's entire UI is getting a makeover, so it's likely the particle menu will see improvements to be more understandable.
26. Totally agreed, Mine-imator's current AA is terrible and needs an improvement.
27. Unnecessary; you already mentioned fullscreen in point 18.
28. Unnecessary.
29. You can turn on Unlimited Values to set the shadow range higher/lower than the maximum/minimum, respectively. The detail of those shadows is based on the sunlight buffer size which, when set to Gigantic, is already extremely taxing for most people.
30. Frustum Culling will already be a thing in 2.0.

Please don't take this as any kind of personal attack on your ideas, that's not my intention. I know you've put a lot of effort into this, but a lot of these are just unnecessary.
Remember, Mine-imator is primarily for animating and rendering so it only has some bare minimum modelling features (cubes, spheres, cylinders, cones).
Likewise, Modelbench is primarily for modelling so it only has some bare minimum rendering features (basic lighting, pre-defined backgrounds, fixed square aspect ratio).

Oh, you're back! I thought you left?

I'm pretty sure that the reason why the comments above are getting downvoted is because it's starting a lyrics chain

People will keep replying to this topic with the lyrics from "Revenge" which would eventually get this topic locked.

That and the fact it's overused, annoying as hell and should've died 2 years ago but is somehow still going.

Haven't seen you here in a while.

In my honest opinion, I feel like the massive amount of limb dislocation really doesn't fit in here. It's the only thing stopping this from looking like a perfectly-recreated in-game screenshot.

Try looking at the log_previous.txt file it mentions. That'll likely show you what's going on.

I don't think this one really fits with the no-bends style, if I'm honest.

And it only took well over a year to finally see someone using them in a render ;u;

This is just three trucks. You can't call it drip if there's no drip, smh my head

Looks pretty good!

Just a light nitpick; the thing Tdit's holding is a clapperboard, not a clipboard. Also, perhaps Lime Concrete could've been used as the greenscreen instead of Lime Wool? Less noisy.
