mybdai4 4 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 What? Mine-imator is evolving... Congratulations! Mine-imator evolved into Super Amazing Program That Puts Blender To Shame! Blender is better because it has better movement controls, you can build your own facial features, the Cycles render engine, you can make games in Blender. I mean really, Inverse Kinematics and Forward Kinematics are all the rage now. Although Mine-imator is what got me into Minecraft animation, I am sad to say, it is outdated in a sense, for instance, IK and FK controls, being able to have things like cell fracture, boolean modifiers and a ton more are lacking from Mine-imator. I may only use Mine-imator for thumbnails, that's it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blender is meant for all kinds of animations, thus having more features to enable realism if animating something professional. IK and FK aren't helpful when it comes to Minecraft animations, because it's not supposed to be realistic. However, while I say that, some excellent animators like http://www.mineimatorforums.com/index.php?/user/20722-heavenira/'>Heavenira, http://www.mineimatorforums.com/index.php?/user/2289-redcapcreations/'>RedcapCreations, or http://www.mineimatorforums.com/index.php?/user/21385-puttatosack/'>Phinkleputt/Puttatosack make their animations as realistic as possible, while using Mine-imator. And, there's the small fact that Mine-imator is made by only one person (David), and Blender is made by a team of people.

FK for things like dangling, besides Mine-imator is good for starting animation. I would come back to Mine-Imator if their was an advanced mode for say, with things like, face rigging, custom shapes, custom mobs, and others. Mine-Imator is good, just not for me.

Mineupfast 1k Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Here's how I now see it: First version of Mine-imator: Windows 3.1 - Not good, but was impressive. Mine-imator 0.7: Windows XP - Something incredible that will not be forgotten. Mine-imator: 1.0.0: Windows 7 - The best one to date. toaster5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
