Hey, I have a custom model for an item that id like to render. All the tutorials i've found so far use techne. Seeing as i'm a linux user and wine isn't running techne I opted to use blender. I have exported the blender model as an obj file but i have no idea how to create the model class to import the model. I have the Item renderer class built and ready but i need to have the model class obviously to make it work.

 

Any suggestions or links to tutorials that show how to make the java file for an obj would be welcome.

 

Thanks

I checked it out, not sure how to utilize this class though.

Think i got the model stuff in the right places but the model is not rendering. Here is what i have so far.

Not rendering = transparent item?

EQUIPPED is third-person rendering. Press F5.

And why are you casting your renderer to IItemRenderer in ClientProxy? It's not necessary.

I changed the code and im getting a crash that i believe is related to the resource location of the model.

The Error Im Getting

http://pastebin.com/sEVPiNqs

 

 

 

To load an obj model you need an IModelCustom, and a ResourceLocation. You don't need a model class, that just over complicates things. You just put these in the ItemRenderer. You only need a model class if you are using techne, and also, not needed, but if you are using tessellators too.

 

public final ResourceLocation modelResource = new ResourceLocation("modid:yourModelLocation/yourModel.obj");
public final ResourceLocation texture = new ResourceLocation("modid:yourTextureLocation/yourTexture.png");

public IModelCustom model = AdvancedModelLoader.loadModel(modelResource);

public void renderItem(ItemRenderType type, ItemStack stack, Object... data) {
        GL11.glPushMatrix();
        Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderEngine.bindTexture(this.texture); //Not 100% sure if I got this right, but you bing the texture here.
        //Do all your GL11 rotations, scales, and translaters here...
        this.model.renderAll(); //Finally render the model
        GL11.glPopMatrix();
}

 

Hope this helped!

 

Also please note that your model HAS to be triangulated. If your model isn't triangulated, you will get a crash saying ModelFormatException.

Okay, for that crash, there is a NullPointerException on line 19 of your model class. always make sure something is not null if there is the possibility for it to be. Unfortunately, I can't look at the code you put on bitbucket, I am on a school pc, and that website is blocked due to a security error. May you put the code in "code" and "/code" (with square brackets [ ]) annotations? that way I can see what you have changed.

 

As I said though, you don't need a model class, put it in the ItemRenderer.

ok i tried what u suggested im getting a ModelFormatException error now

I did triangulate it.

I deleted the offending line and were in business. The model isn't rendered in the players inventory or in the first person view but i just need to set that up i think.

 

Thanks

Well, if it isn't rendering, you either haven't bound the texture properly, or it is out of the players FOV, if you go into third person mode, can you see it? if not, the texture is not done properly, if so, you just need to use GL11 to translate it into the players view, and from there, you need to figure out the rotations and translations as no two models have the same translations/rotations.
