For those of you who don't know, Mine-imator is a Minecraft animation program made by David. It allows you to make Minecraft animations using simple tools, just like the ones you use in Blender but MUCH more easier to use.
There's a variety of models you can use, including Steve and the Monsters you faced in Minecraft, except for the Ender dragon. You can also import your current Minecraft skin to Mine-imator so your avatar could star in your animations!! To top it off, if you build a house or anything in Minecraft, you can use MCEdit to Export it and import it to Mine-imator as a scenery, allowing you to have your creations be in your Minecraft animations.
The only thing I don't like about Mine-imator is...where do start? Lets dot them down:
1. Bad graphics.
2. Bad shadowing.
3. Can't import scematics over 10kb. (argh!)
4. The lighting...
5. If you have a bad spec computer, expect lots of lag.
6. It's a beta, expect some bugs.
7. The undo can sometimes be buggy.
8. Few range of rendering format.
9. Can't add audio directly to the animation. (This can only be done by video editing softwares such as Windows Movie Maker)
The software is simply good, but by specs it's overshadowed by other profesional animating softwares such as Blender, Maya and Cinema 4D. In fact, if you make an animation directly from Minecraft (eg: CreeperMovie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UMUOPoowug) it has better graphics than Mine-imator, despite being unflexible with camera angles and using multiple MInecraft accounts. But like I said, it's a beta, so there will be some improvements/maintainance.
Anyway, here's a short Minecraft animation I made using Mine-imator and yes, I did used my 3D car art, scale down.
ENJOY!!!

Should I remaster the zombie apocalypse video, since Mine-imator 1.0.0 demo 5 is already out?
