At least that's what I did when I had my username changed a while back

I imported the mob into MI and it's texture is missing. Shows purple and black. Is that supposed to happen?

I see. I watched a video. I admittedly am just getting back into researching Minecraft stuff for new animations. I'm out of the loop. Thank you for the reply

Here's hoping when I get my gaming rig in June that this jammed pack version doesn't kill it

Ye but I did it anyway

Does the mouth open though? And does the tongue have good flexibility and versaility?

I think this version is way too resource intensive which put too much pressure on my hardrive which caused it to fail. I didn't have any hardrive issues prior to using PR 5

I've played around a bit more with 5.0

Here are my gripes

- I don't like the dropdowns. Get rid of them. Or give us an option to switch back to classic

- Render preview shouldn't crash the program. It was working just fine in 4.0

- It shouldn't take 60 minutes to render a 15 second animation. In 4.0 it took me 5 minutes to render a 15 second animation

- Missing assets when importing a file from a previous version and also assets being split and thrown randomly into other areas. Who's the genius that decided to put the bell stand in Special Objects but put the actual bell in Blocks? They go together. They went together in 4.0 and prior versions. But now they are separate? Its like boats. Why are oars separate? Why are they in blocks? Why should I have to manually parent Oars back onto the Boat? That's just dumb

I'll be using 4.0 from here on out

Missing bells and missing frog legs. Wonderful

Edit: I found the bell! Turns out that its split. The stand is in Special Objects and the Bell is in Blocks.

Maybe the frog legs are in blocks too? Hrm

Imported a project from 4.0 to 5.0 and this is the result... my frogs legs are missing! The legs are still selectable but now known as "unused body part" and are invisible. I can assure you they are absolutely going to be used! Adding in a new frog works, the legs are visible. Not a game breaker. Haven't added keyframes to the frogs yet so I can replace them but now I'm concerned about the prior two animation files where there are plenty of other characters to be imported O.O

Edit: I checked the other files and many other existing files. No problems with any other mobs. Its just frogs. Their limbs are not showing

I like it! Played around with it a bit ago and I like the sleek and clean UI and oh gosh being able to search for characters and blocks now! Finally! Thank you!!! The fast boot is amazing. Older versions would take forever to boot. 

Like the mini tutorials. Showing me an image difference between spotlight and point light and telling me what either does. Giving me a rundown on the pathing system. Appreciate these. These will for sure help future animators. One thing I have felt MI has always lacked is FAQ. Its always been vague

I haven't played around with other settings yet. But I am going to backup and transfer my current animations to this update

A huge thank you to the development team

What two delicious flavors do you think these are?

Getting an idea to make cakes jiggle. Probably need to use something that bends. Any suggestions? I guess using wind effect on cake works but... eh

Could someone whip up a Rascal model? Please and thanks

That person looks like someone who's crafty with experimental cake that turns mobs into <redacted>

Right click the image. Then press "open image in new tab" then copy the link and then paste. That's how imgur works

Fantastic render!

I like those. Great job

Fantastic. I've played around with flips in MI and blah. You're much better than I am

Great! Now try to jump backwards with a flip

That's hiliarious. I like these. Keep making them

imagine being affected by gravity lol noob + ratio

Notch at one point wanted to implement gravity for all blocks, played around with it but it caused way too much lag and practically destroyed the world so he didn't

There are mods out there to make gravity for all blocks and it has a similiar result

Thumbnail changed. Video delisted. Bad bad bad performance

Startng work on new animation. Steve and Warden. Reboot of Warden Aw Man

Bad video or bad thumbnail or both. Didn't take off like I had hoped and the lack of reactions here is telling

Happy Howl-ween

Well we need more details. Post the error log

Bad day what? OH GOD THE GREAT TWIST THE SNIFFER SURVIVED XD amazing! Let's goo, as useal, you are getting better, and slowly the animation fits actually well to your style, I respect that, well, the concept is amazing as always, good work! 

So when I was in Mine Imator I kept doing comparison between shadows and no shadows. And I learned that shadows actually made this animation render much better. More crsip and clear. I did play around with the sunlight settings to get what I consider the best shots. Also I did use background sets to change sunlight and other settings. I didn't use a single point light in this animation. I used two spotlights which I found work better than point lights

I'm learning. Slowly. Been watchng videos by Keep On Chucking for lighting and shadow tips. And also learning more about keyframes. Camera movements but also testing out character and item movements too

I've learned a couple things in the last couple months

- Break my animations into segments. I aim for 10-15 seconds per scene. That way they are easier to manage and polish
- Stop relying on point lights and use spot lights
- Stop copy-pasting leg and arm movements. Do it last and do it manually
