[1.8] How to make a 3D model item <Not Solved>

[many231]

Hey does anyone know the code for making 3D model items in 1.8, I haven't found a up-to-date, and do I need to use a TurboModelThingy or can I use java?

[Romejanic]

What do you mean by 3D model item? Like a ItemRenderer (custom model on item in first person, third person, inventory and dropped entity)?

Grey has an excellent breakdown on rendering here:

http://greyminecraftcoder.blogspot.be/2013/08/rendering-items.html

 

Basically, you need to write your custom renderer and bind the relevant item rendering perspects in to it.

For example, this renderer responds to the EQUIPPED_FIRST_PERSON mode and displays the cards in the player's hand instead of the item:

I hope this helps and good luck, custom rendering can be a right pain at times!

No, that's for 1.7 and below. In 1.8 you need to use the JSON model files. Have a look at the anvil.

Yes a custom model in first, third, and dropped, and when you hold it it has a 3D model, I looked at like the anvil item model but I don't know how to translate that into my shape I want.

But IDK what of my rotation/size and if I have separate pieces in the model not just 1 thing, also can I just import the model and use Resource location?

Use this:

I used that to make my custom crafting table, it's a little hard to texture it but i would look at the anvil json file while creating the custom model

[many231]

I know that I should look at that but do I need to use a techne model or no?

[NovaViper]

Well.. not necessarily, I studied my techne model I made (like for instance, I was making a base that was 3 pixels high, I did the same number of pixels on the maker and got the same result, even though on techne, it said 6 instead of 3)

[many231]

Do I have to render it, I want it to render in 3D, the inventory texture doesn't have to be 3D, I want it to hold the model I made for it in techne not with json I know how to do that, json are the space in which the texture/model may take up, I want it to render it as 3D

[NovaViper]

Thats what the MC Model maker is for, take the anvil's model json and import it inside the maker and you would see how it's made (though it doesn't show a 3d preview of it since the whole thing is entirely flat)

[many231]

Give me an example thing you made in that, that is 3d I can't get it to work. DO I even need the techne model?

Here's what I did

Take a look at Champion Ash5357's 1.8 modding tutorials... there may be something useful there.
