[1.8] Dynamic block rendering in 1.8

[HeXHaX]

Is there any way to render your blocks programmatically?  I am working on a mod that has a ton of combinations for different blockstates and creating the number I need is not feasible at all.  Check http://www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/2ni6av/eli5_the_18_block_model_change/ for an example of what I am talking about.  I am assuming that in order to do this, I would have to revert back to the old block rendering system in 1.7.

It's impossible to look back. ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler won't back.

 

But ExtendedBlockState and ISmartBlockModel would help. See this tutorial and may it help:

Thanks for the quick help herbix.  I will not get a chance to try it out this morning (got Calc II finals today!) but maybe this evening I can let you know how it goes.

Hi

 

YOu might also find this tutorial project useful, it has two working examples of ISmartBlockModel.
