I have several Blender models which I wish to make into mobs, What are the requirements to code in the .obj files so they appear in game as mobs? I know how to do it using techne models (this is easy) but i am stumped by how to take a Blender model and code it in game. Are there tutorials for this?

As i refered to in another thread like this:

 

I stumpled uppon this tutorial here:

http://minalien.com/tutorial-advancedmodelloader/

 

Maybe it can help you out

sadly though .obj doesn't support animations, so there seems to be no easy way of doing that

Ya the whole no animations support thing for .obj seems to be an issue. I wonder if there is a way around it. I think the developer of Pixelmon has found a way to do it but other than that I dont think many people have.

If anyone knows how to get a .obj file into the game as a mob please let me know I will post anything I find on this subject

Same way as you would for any other model from .obj files.

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public class ModelFromOBJ extends ModelBase
{
    private IModelCustom modelObj;
     
    public ModelFromOBJ ()
    {
        modelObj = AdvancedModelLoader.loadModel(new ResourceLocation("/assets/my_mod_id/models/tutBox.obj"));
    }
}
