Thank you for the dedication you have had for this project for an entire decade, and for helping so many people start their creative journeys. I wish you good luck with whatever you do next.

A scene from Battle For Dream Island: The Power of Two, recreated in Mine-imator!

@Kivala@Zowzow

Did you upgrade from an older version? I did, and what worked for me is first uninstalling Mine-imator, deleting this folder,

(Mine-imator root folder)\Data\Minecraft

then reinstalling. For some reason, when upgrading as opposed to installing fresh, it doesn't replace the 1.18 Minecraft assets with the 1.19 ones.

This is such a great animation!

Thanks!

Thank you so much!

@Cryptic Runner My animation style is the same way, and I face this problem for the same reasons.

@david Okay, check your DMs.

I upgraded to Pre-release 4, and this bug is still there. Here's more of the animation to further demonstrate my problem.

Notice how at 0:21, right as the shot changes, the leftmost character's face has a different expression for one frame.
 

I'm willing to privately share the project with a developer if they ask for it.

I use textures to animate parts of faces on my models. When a keyframe has a different texture from the last one, it takes a few milliseconds for the texture to change. In one old version I used to use primarily (1.1.4), the change would be instantaneous.

This delay isn't a big deal when working on the scene, but when exporting at 24fps, the texture doesn't change for an entire frame. It becomes more obvious when position and rotation change, too.

Here's an example render. Pay attention to the lightning bolt character's eyes and eyebrows, and notice how the textures change one frame after they move (and ignore the unfinished run cycles on the other characters).

If it helps, the texture type is Skin. That's the only one Modelbench would allow me to use.

EDIT: Totally forgot to say what version I'm on. Sorry about that. I'm using 2.0 Pre-release 2.
EDIT 2: Just upgraded to Pre-release 3, and the bug is still present.

Audio scrubbing

I second this

I can't stress enough how thankful I am for fixing compatibility with .json models! Now I can finally use the latest versions! THANK YOU!

Looks like they broke when the flattening happened with 1.13, block IDs and texture names were changed in the process. This'll be fixed in the next update.

Thank you so much!

Can you provide a download to a .json file that doesn't work in recent versions?

Are you guys also gonna fix the compatibility issues with .JSON models? For some reason my .JSON models work in Mine-imator 1.1.4, but they refuse to work in newer versions.

I've also been having this problem. I don't know why no-one will answer this question whenever someone asks it.

yea

But I can't delete those. They're the lines of code that tell the program which Minecraft textures to use.

Wait you use McCrayFish? cool, also the json file contain a 2 texture/photo file, so if the json have the 2 photo file in it, it will doesnt loaded, i think

2 photo files? You mean these?

"wool_colored_white": "blocks/wool_colored_white",
"lapis_block": "blocks/lapis_block"

Can anyone help me? Whenever I try to import my JSON models in the newest version they don't show up (they're invisible, even if the Visible checkbox is checked). They worked just fine in older versions. I think it might have something to do with textures.

Did the way mine-imator reads texture names in json files change or something? Here's the model if anyone wants to take a look. https://pastebin.com/Gxbxg6Yc

Thanks!
