Question

Can I do it without downloading anything?

Community Answer

No. You need a specific animation engine to work. It is not like Microsoft paint.

Question

How do you make sure that something you download isn't a virus?

Community Answer

Use a antivirus software and install a firewall to avoid viruses. Run a full scan on your computer after you download something new.

Question

What if all the software is too hard for me to use? Would Mine-Imator be good as a starting point?

Withered Striker

Community Answer

Mine-Imator is a good starting point and can get you well-versed in the basics of animation. However, Mine-Imator, while potent in itself, has poor video quality when compared to traditional software like Blender, Cinema4D, Maya, 3DS Max and SFM. I do recommend you eventually make the jump from Mine-Imator to one of those apps once you've got the basics.

Question

Is there any more software I need to download?

Community Answer

No. A rendering software is strong and efficiency enough to aid you throughout the process. However, using final finishing programs such as After Effects does the job better.

Question

I tried to use Mine-imator, but it won't work. How can I fix this?

Community Answer

Mine-imator is a great animating engine for making out minecraft animation, but depending on its terrible efficiency, it will not bring you far away. Consider using Cinema 4D, Maya, or another program.However, Blender is highly recommended.

Question

How do I upload my world into Blender?

Raai0100

Community Answer

Uploading your world is not possible using Blender. Though you can use your Minecraft worlds to create an animation using Mine-imator, it is very limited.

Question

How do I use my own skins in Minecraft animations?

Community Answer

You download it onto your rig. I recommend watching Black Plasma Studio's Blender tutorial series on YouTube. It is a good starting point, and gives you good rigs and blocks downloads. He also describes how to add your skin to rigs.

Question

What should I do for the rigs to have my own designed skin?

Withered Striker

Community Answer

Most animation apps allow you to change a model's texture, or "material". Find a PNG of the desired skin, cut out the eyes (Most rigs already have their own eyes) and upload it as material or texture.

Question

How do I download 3D rendering software?

Community Answer

Google the program you want to download, like Blender for example. Google "Blender" and click on the official site (it will probably be the first option). You should see a link that says "Download Blender." Click it and follow the instructions.
