Popular Post david 8.4k Posted December 31, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I know you guys can't wait to get your hands on the next full update (neither can I!), but sadly you won't be getting it this year. This has turned out to be a bigger project than imagined before. For starters, this will pretty much be a completely rewrite of the program. In order for new exciting stuff like shaders, particles and customizable interface to work, pretty much all the code (~20000 lines and counting) must be redone, more or less. Also remember that this is all done by one guy, who has to balance the work with school. Due to the scale of the update, I have decided to not call it 0.7, but 1.0.0. That's right, Mine-imator will be leaving Beta soon. So what can you expect in the full version of Mine-imator? I'm aiming to make the program on par with some of the professional animating tools out there. To do this, the flexibility of the program and visual quality of animations must improve. To accomplish this, I upgraded the project to GM:Studio for improved graphics, and purchased the YoYoCompiler which converts the program to C++, for much more efficient CPU tasks (more info here). This should make .schematic fans happy, since it allows much more blocks with faster loading times and rendering speed (framerate). The current Mine-imator version is embarrassingly slow at rendering blocks, and even a schematic as small as 100x100 blocks causes lag and decreases usability. Here are my tests with the new GM:Studio+YYC, compared to the old Mine-imator 0.6.2/0.7 Demo for various schematic sizes: 100x100x32 (320000 blocks) Old: Loading time: 45 seconds, Framerate: 95% New: Loading time: 2 seconds, Framerate: 100% 200x200x40 (1600000 blocks) Old: Loading time: 3 minutes, Framerate: 36% New: Loading time: 6 seconds, Framerate: 100% 400x400x40 (6400000 blocks) Old: -crashed- New: Loading time: 17 seconds, Framerate: 96%-100% 500x500x25 (6250000 blocks) Old: -crashed- New: Loading time: 15 seconds, Framerate: 90% 500x500x50 (12500000 blocks) Old: -crashed- New: Loading time: 21 seconds, Framerate: 83% Happy new 2014 everyone! crafted spider, epicjubjub, NotSoProish and 68 others 70 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe0ne 948 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Very intersting, you'll like to do this new project (v.1.0.0) alone again or get someone to work with you ? I think it will take a lot if you want to do it again, to looks like the big animating programs, they have teams for coding. How i remeber, Fossa is your brother ? Teach him coding, so you with him can make a team. Also you really want to jump directly to 1.0.0 ? You'll not do something like a 0.8 | 0.9 | 1.0.0 so the community will not die those years when you'll code it ? What i wanted every time from this software is a model maker, i'm stil waiting for one ! Happy New Year ! Most of the rewriting is done, it should hopefully be done in January, but no promises, February at worst. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
