Posted April 15, 201411 yr I want a 3D model of an item to render above my TileEntity when the item is placed in the TileEntity. The problem is the actual rendering, I was wondering if there was some method I could call to do this, or would I have to write my own code/make my own model? http://achievecraft.com/cimage/7989efq/ModderWizardDude/Both+kinds+of+Java%21/mca.png[/img]
April 15, 201411 yr You could see how the client does it with it's 3D rendering (when you drop an item while graphics are fancy). Haven't done this myself but this is what I would do if I needed to. Maybe you could use this method or if not use it as a base for your own method You can find my github repo here
April 15, 201411 yr Author Thanks for the tip, I'll take a look at it! EDIT: I got it to work, thanks! I'm going to write a tutorial for this now! http://achievecraft.com/cimage/7989efq/ModderWizardDude/Both+kinds+of+Java%21/mca.png[/img]
April 15, 201411 yr Please do, it would be really helpful If you want to look at some example code, here's how I've done it: https://github.com/SanAndreasP/EnderStuffPlus/blob/code-cleanup/java/sanandreasp/mods/EnderStuffPlus/client/render/RenderTileEntityWeatherAltar.java#L29-L54 Don't ask for support per PM!

This is not how learning works.
April 15, 201411 yr Author Hmm, we did ours differently. Oh well, I'll post mine here too for reference http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/2571061-forge-rendering-an-item-on-your-block/#entry30530596 http://achievecraft.com/cimage/7989efq/ModderWizardDude/Both+kinds+of+Java%21/mca.png[/img]

April 15, 201411 yr Author I'll probably rewrite it later http://achievecraft.com/cimage/7989efq/ModderWizardDude/Both+kinds+of+Java%21/mca.png[/img]
