1.8 Texturing

[TheDogePwner]

How do I load an item's texture in Minecraft Forge 1.8 with a .json file? I have no idea how to use .json files. I know to have the .json and the image in in src/main/resources/assets/<modid>/models/items, but what content goes into the .json? Thanks!

    "textures": {

        "layer0": "modmercenario:items/materiales/aceromercenario"

 

    },

    "display": {

        "thirdperson": {

            "rotation": [ -90, 0, 0 ],

            "translation": [ 0, 1, -3 ],

            "scale": [ 0.55, 0.55, 0.55 ]

        },

        "gui": {

            "rotation": [ -90, 0, 0 ],

            "translation": [ 0, 1, -3 ],

            "scale": [ 0.55, 0.55, 0.55 ]

        },

          "firstperson": {

            "rotation": [ 0, -135, 25 ],

            "translation": [ 0, 4, 2 ],

            "scale": [ 1.7, 1.7, 1.7 ]

        }

    }

}

            "scale": [ 1.7, 1.7, 1.7 ]

        }

    }

}

 

Thanks for your reply. Just so I understand it more, what do these parameters mean? What does "rotation" and "translation" and "scale" do? What is "bulletin/generated"? How do I link it to an image file?

 

Thanks once again!
