can the size of a modal be changed in code but so the texture still sits right. so if i create a 16 x 16 x 16 block in techne and create a texture for that size, in eclipse can i scale the model down but so the texture still sits properly

Thanks for the readable english.

By the way, on my experience, my answer is yes. I had to scale a custom mob because it was too big and the texture was still fitting perfectly.

Yes, you can do that, just use this:

Gl11.glScalef(0.5F,0.5F,0.5F);

with 0.5F being the half of the original size.

ok thanks
