[[1.12.2] Rendering an OBJ model for an armor piece confusion]

Hi, 

One more quick question, does this have to be on ClientProxy? 
I have my PreInit set up on a different class called "Main" as per this video: https://youtu.be/f0zXArplb9Y?t=976

Does this change anything? Is it a bad practice?

Hi, 
Thanks for replying!

Could you provide an example of how exactly the client proxy should be set up for OBJ loading?

 

I know the model is huge, just want to make something render, will fix it later

Greetings!

 

I've just recently started tinkering with forge as a means to keep my Java knowledge intact.
Everything was going well until I've decided to create put custom models for armor pieces in the game.

The item (helmet) seems to be completely transparent when putting on.
I haven't made any textures for it as of yet, but as far as I understand, the model should render with pink (missing) textures and only render the mesh if it can't find any textures associated with it. I could be wrong on that front.
I was thinking that this might be related to the JSON files, but so far, their implementation seems alien to me, so I can't say for sure.

Sending over everything that could be related to this issue.
Any suggestions for what I should change would be greatly appreciated even if it's not related to the rendering.
