[1.8] .obj file models in 1.8?

[Awesome_Spider]

Hi, I was on the forge supports forum a month ago, and there was a topic on .obj models for entities in forge 1.8. But the general answer was because of the new .json system of minecraft that wasn't possible. My suggestion is that forge make a hook for this. Is this a good suggestion? Forge 1.7 has a hook for this but 1.8 doesn't.

Fry is in charge of this there was someone working on a obj importer but they vanished.

And no this isn't a good suggestion you're stating something we already know without adding any useful information or working on a solution.

I personally think obj models in minecraft would look bad (with high resolution models). I would rather a slightly expanded model system.

I already have a .obj model importer for the 1.7.10 system that imports .obj into the normal special renderer for blocks instead of the tileentityspecialrenderer.

 

The only thing I can't figure out is how to get the rotation done because I dont have access to the open gl instance there to do the rotation for me because it's done outside of the gl scope.

 

And I don't know if the current model rendering supports the same tweaks, I still have to look into that.

I stumbled upon this thread, which is probably only thing that says anything informative about .obj support in 1.8.

Since there were no responses for 3 weeks, may I ask - did anything changed regarding implementation of .obj loader (support)?

 

My main issue is the fact that "there was someone working on a obj importer", which leaves me with question is he (or are they) still/back on track?

 

Is it safe to assume that only support Forge gives (outside json and direct java models) is and will be B3D?

Should I/We wait or implement it on my own? Is there a point? Planned upcoming other features?

 

Thank you for any info
