Continuation Build
What this mod mostly does is fix a few issues that me and the other beta testers never caught during Mine-imator 2.0's development cycle. But do be on the lookout for a couple of kewl little features I slipped in ;).
Please enjoy it!

Taking a Breather 
Hello again been a while, and hey look I made another thing it's not the best thing but it's a thing and I made it. So yeah I had a lot of fun with this one and tried out a few new tricks and I am pretty happy with it certainly more so then the last thing I made hope u like it too.
As always feed back is much appreciated. 

Happy Birthday to @9redwoods

can u guess who's b day it is?
happy B day to red hope he has a great day. Thank you for helping me over the last few years to get better at what I love doing, I would not be where I am with out you man thx.
 I had a lot of fun messing with the perspective on this it's probably something I am going the experiment with more in the future, and the lighting turned out better then I expected witch is nice.
As always feed back is much appreciated

Hey so um.. it's been a while huh, tho tbh I don't think I had enough of a presence on here for any one to notice I was gone lol anyhow ima back and making things again woooo.
This was a lot of fun to make my fist time modelling a full set in MB from scratch so it's a is a little jank but u can't see that in the render so it doesn't really matter all to much. over all ima pretty happy with the outcome and I hope u find the pixels visually appealing to you eye holes too.
(some behind the scenes)
Any how that's all from me for now as always feed back is much appreciated

Holding “Shift” now allows precision when dragging components. Shortened panel tabs now show a tooltip of the full name when hovered. XYZ scaling is proportional. Rendering
Added alpha modes to change transparency is rendered: Blended: Transparency behaves as it has previously. Has clipping issues but can be tweaked with “Render depth”.

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

Teaser poster for Limbo Next (formerly called MDVDCDC, short for Madnaoç Districter Valley: Director's Cut: Director's Cut)
 
For a while, I've been working on Limbo Next, a roughly 30 minute movie featuring Limbo ( @MikTRF ,@9redwoods, @Frost, @Jake_28 @DragonPixel, @LordKillo ,@Jnick, @Floofy, PhyreCreations and me), a regular group of teenagers that while meeting up in NYC, quickly turns into a resistance caught in the middle of the crossfire of a cartoonishly cliché evil authoritarian hivemind dead-set on taking over the minds of every human on the planet.
Will they succeed to defeat the hivemind and save the world using the power of friendship? There's only one way to know.
 
this was more of a render to test out MI 2.0 but i figured i'd have a little more fun with it

Hello everyone!
Today marks the 10th anniversary of Mine-imator, and with the second phase of 2.0 just around the corner in September with Pre-release 5, I've revealed 7 of the biggest features coming on our Twitter page. But just in case you haven't seen them, I'll show them below.  These features have been in development since 1.2.6 was released and were originally going to be in Pre-release 1 but we decided to release the new engine and importer by itself first to get it stable in the first pre-releases. Now without further ado, the true potential of 2.0...
 
A full view of 2.0's new interface system, Inventory

 
Custom render settings in projects

 
Bezier curves/custom transitions

 
Paths (cool rollercoaster video)

 
Anti-aliasing improvements

 
Materials and reflections (+ PBR resource pack support) (video)

 
Inverse Kinematics

 
As you can see, with 2.0 being the last major update David and I have involvement in, I wanted to go out with a bang and cover as many bases as possible. We're still grinding out the last serious bugs before Pre-release 5 comes out (...with more bugs 🐛), so I hope you're looking forward it, there's a lot to mess around with! However (since not many people are aware), volumetric fog/light rays will not be coming to Mine-imator, you can read more about that here. Now despite that, before I go, I want to say thank you for the support I've received recently and to everyone else that's donated to @david and I, we couldn't have made this update as legendary as it is without everyone's support. 👍

after a looooooooong time, i've started working on an ambitious animation project which will definitely raise the bar for MI animations to come, featuring epic action moments, epic action moments, epic action moments, 80's music, humor and An Engaging Storyline. here is a teaser of it which features a vague acronym for the name!

Hey so um.. it's been a while huh, tho tbh I don't think I had enough of a presence on here for any one to notice I was gone lol anyhow ima back and making things again woooo.
This was a lot of fun to make my fist time modelling a full set in MB from scratch so it's a is a little jank but u can't see that in the render so it doesn't really matter all to much. over all ima pretty happy with the outcome and I hope u find the pixels visually appealing to you eye holes too.

Any how that's all from me for now as always feed back is much appreciated
