Mineimator 20 Prerelease 4 Work

If you have seen stunning Mine-imator 20 Prerelease 4 work on YouTube or Twitter, the secret is the lighting. The legacy software used flat, directional light. Prerelease 4 uses volumetric lighting and shadow mapping. You can now place point lights that cast dynamic shadows as a character walks past.

In previous versions, moving a hand required moving the arm, then the torso, then the shoulder. In Prerelease 4, toggle IK Mode. Grab the hand bone and move it in the 3D space. The arm, elbow, and shoulder will rotate automatically to follow. This cuts animation time by 70%.

Mine-imator 20 Prerelease 4 supports .model files (Blockbench format).
