This is a Remastered Version of the older one:
 
I am very impressed by how it turned out and I hope you all like it as much as I do.
Pls rate, I'd love your thoughts on this!

Glad that you are!

Glad that you are!

Glad that you are!

These pesky little things... I never liked them, how come the others did? I mean the DJ is great but these ones don't even make sense to me, and I haven't even seen them outside of their box... are they supposed to wander around like that in your home? Whats the purpose of these things? They dont even make good sound...
Why are they looking at me? Hold on I didn't mean it I am sorry!

well this is me telling how I feel without telling how I feel. its a real long story so I'll make it in 1 render. I mean why make paragraphs if you can tell how ur feeling or rant with 1 single render?
 

I liked your model

@TheToastedIron thx for convincing me to return to mineimator

Yes indeed!

As noticed by everyone I was very bland here the last part of the year of 2023 and 2024 wont be different...
Or will it?
I invite you all on a weird and exciting journey through this new year, I won't be always here, but I will be here and can't wait to see how this year of Mine-imator will go, 2023 was great for this community, wasn't very talkative, but we got many things, so lets flip that, this year, let it be more community posts then Updates! And lets see where this goes! 
 
Thanks to everyone for letting me be a part of this amazing community and World of Mine-imator!

Well, as you can see, me and @LacaMenDRY got a bit creative... to say the least
Right after the fireworks were done, we had some left and so we thought... let's get crazy... (factor in that we had a few bottles of champagne )
 
But in a motivational sense,
He got a kick start into next year, so we better get going if we wanna keep up with him, since he flew far!

In this post, I'll show you how to make a turret tracking (or a tracking system with multiple points of rotation), all the blocks placed in this tutorial are here to illustrate and are not necessary.
 
We'll open modelbench to start creating our turret, nothing is needed to be imported.
When opened, we will add 3 or 4 parts to the model :
- a first part I named "turret (don't move)" made to don't break the model and isolate our system
- a second part I named "y rotation" which will be the section tracking left and right (Y=0 obligatory) and parented to "turret (don't move)".
- a third part I named "y axis" which will set the axis (Y=-20, you are kinda free with thiw one as long as it's a negative value)
- a fourth part (optional) I named "turret base" parented to the "y rotation" and used just to add the blocks to decorate as well as changing the rotation more easily
 
The organisation without the "turret base" will look like this :

The different position and rotation of each new parts :
 
 
Everything is set and we can start to add the IK we will use to track on the Y axis, open the bend section of "y rotation".
Activate the "X axis" and leave the range and default angle as if.

Now, we'll go to the end of this section and put the part at "Lower", the "Joint offset" at -1 and the "Joint end" at 1. I choosed "Lower" because our axis is set lower and the "Joint" parameters at -1 and 1 to be sure to don't have weird things happening.

 
Our first axis is done, we can move to the second axis. For the Z axis, we will duplicate what we just made and modify how it's set in the Elements list.
- I added a part named "cannon" parented to "y rotation" and with a Z rotation at -90° and a Y position at 22 in our case
- "y axis" (I renamed "Z axis") will be parented to the "y rotation" with a X position at 40 in our case and a Y position at 22 (the same Y position used for the "cannon")
- "y rotation" (I renamed "Z rotation") will be parented to "cannon"
- "turret base" (I renamed "cannons" and still optional) is still parented to "Z rotation" and with a Y rotation at 90°
 
In the end, our entire Elements list will look like this :

The different position and rotation of each new parts :

With the different blocks I added, my turret prototype looke like this :

Legend :
Now, we can save our model and it's done !!
 
Now come the part where I explain you how to use it in Mine-Imator 2.0.0, open MI and load your model in it with a cube or any other object, I used Steve here with a custom rotation point set at 12 (optional). Open the "y rotation" part we added earlier and the "Inverse kinematics" on the "CONSTRAINTS" section.

We'll then choose the thing we want to track, here Steve, so we set the "Target" on "y axis" to lock the bend and then we set "Angle target" on our Steve.

We repeat the same steps on the second axis. In the end the "Z rotation" will be set like this :

 
And now, you can play with it.

HAVE FUN TAKING DOWN THOSE PESKY LITTLE FLYING THINGS !!! :3

this is my last post..... Thanks for everything
