Mine-imator 2.0 Pre-release 4 (Phase 1)


Recommended Posts

Hey, I have a problem. When I install Mine-imator 2.0 prerelease 3 I get this error "The program cannot be started because the computer does not have D3DCOMPILER 47.d11. Try reinstalling the program.". But, when I installed Mine-imator pre-release 2 I got a black screen and I can't do nothing in the program. I have Windows7, Intel Pentium B940 2.0Ghz, 6gb of RAM and Intel HD Graphics. Please help me resolve this problem.

There's some sort of graphical glitch going on with with textures rendered from a distance. You can see the lines that separate the blocks on the horizon:

Enabling the render does not fix it. It is actually ruining my animation since these lines are too distracting. The further blocks go into the horizon the more noticeable it becomes:

This is not happen with the previous version. The previous version had its own problems with distance rendering (see those 2 tiny black lines) but it was barely noticeable compared to this.

1.2.9:

2.0:

Could you take a look @david

I have never been able to use those, even in earlier versions. Always greyed out. Its either a bug or there is some special circumstance needed to trigger it which isn't publicy available O.O

Also the graphical glitch above. Video drivers perhaps? Only thing I can think of. Its not happening for me

I was looking at my project perplexed at how a bunch of stuff was sightly out of place. Lights weren't rendering properly, cameras were covered by stuff and so on. I've isolated this in here:

light.png


First picture is pre-release 3. Second picture is previous versions, including pre-release 2. So it seems this new version has changed something in the way things are rendered and has broken backwards compatibility in the sense of stuff may not properly render unless you manually go and move every object one by one. In this example, the spot light on the ceiling is exactly at the same place, but now on pre-release 3 it wouldn't render unless I lower it a bit. This is quite annoying since now you'll have to go throught every object one by one, making sure everything is ok in the new version. Im just wondering what david exactly changed for this to happen and if could be reverted so one doesn't have to do this. You can test yourself with the example project:

Pre-release 4 should fix the issues you've mentioned

Good news! The legendary 2.0 Anniversary Update is here for testing on Windows, Mac and Linux platforms! This update is in fact so grand that it has been split into two phases that will be revealed over the next few months as pre-releases:

Phase 1 (May 30th): Multi-platform support, performance improvements, new world importer and multi-monitor support by @david
Phase 2 (Late August(?)): New user interface, logo, rendering and animation capabilities by @Nimi, also includes all features in Phase 1 and Minecraft 1.19 support

Since these builds will contain many features and be built on an entirely new C++ engine, expect bugs to appear! As usual, please report them in the Issues and Bugs subforum with as much information as possible included in your topic and project files if possible.

Note: Back up your projects before installing, or install in a separate location!
 
Now, without further delays...

Keyframes are greyed out in pre release 4 still, also david or nimi whats the likely possibility of having a shader importer now we have a new engine? Could you explain the difficulties in this? Cant wait for pre release 5 and to see what else you have in store for us, you guys have done a phenomenal job, thanks.
