How do you render an IModel? (How to Use Forge B3D Model Loader?)

[HassanS6000]

Hi! I've searched everywhere for this, but to no avail. Can anybody tell me how to use the B3D Model Loader?

 

Thanks in Advance!

[HassanS6000]

How would I do this for an item and an entity?

[HassanS6000]

Not working for my item.. just getting purple and black squares..

[ItsAMysteriousYT]

What is B3D? Is it for 1.8?

[HassanS6000]

It's a format for 3D Models that Forge started supporting after 1.8 was released.

[HassanS6000]

Okay I got my entity with the B3D Model. I have an IModel - which doesn't have a render method... what do I do now?

[HassanS6000]

There was a IModelCustom class which had a render method... was there any replacement of that in 1.8?

[HassanS6000]

Are you sure? The BlockModelRenderer may work but I'm not sure what to put for all the parameters. Such as VertexFormat, bakedTextureGetter, blockPosIn, worldRendererIn, blockAccessIn, and blockStateIn.

[HassanS6000]

Alright I've gotten pretty far from what you've given me so far. Still don't know what to put in for the actual  model.bake() parameters.  The VertexFormat, and the bakedTextureGetter.

[HassanS6000]

What am I supposed to do then? I have a model and want to render it..

[HassanS6000]

I'm not sure I understand what you mean exactly. I want to use a .obj or .b3d model for my entity and some items. How would registering my model and making a ModelResourceLocation make it render?

 

I've already loaded my model into an IModel, but I want that IModel to render now. How do I do that???

 

 

ModelBakeEvent requires the following parameters ModelManager, IRegistry and ModelLoader, and B3DLoader.instance doesn't work for a ModelLoader..

[HassanS6000]

OK. How would I go about actually rendering it, if I can't bake my model?

[HassanS6000]

I can't do what is done in RenderFallingBlock... it causes my game to crash because I can't pass in a block state... as I'm not rendering a block, rather an entity.

 

Here is my class:

What are ModelLoaderRegistry, and ICustomModelLoader. In this forum posting: http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php?topic=27505.0 it says the new ModelLoaderRegistry is a "replacement for IAdvancedModelLoader"

[HassanS6000]

Thanks! How would I actually use that in my class? I had a link to a paste-bin copy of it above. I don't have an IBakedModel - I have an IModel.

[HassanS6000]

How? I can't use ModelBakeEvent because I don't know any of the parameters.. ModelManager, ModelLoader, and IRegistry

[larsgerrits]

You do not know how events work. Google it, there are plenty of tutorials.

[HassanS6000]

Yes I do. I can't use the event because I can't pass in any of the parameters.

[larsgerrits]

Judging by your last reply, you do not know how events work. You don't have to create new instances of an Event, but rather listen to the events posted by Forge/FML. Seriously, google it.

[HassanS6000]

LOL... I was being so stupid!! Thanks for your help!

[HassanS6000]

Alright I've used ModelBakeEvent to get my  IBakedModel. Now, how would I do worldrenderer.addVertexData(); from there? I can get a list of all the quads from my IBakedModel, but that does not return a list of int's - I think..

[Ernio]

Look inside BakedQuad maybe? int[28] vertexData.

[HassanS6000]

Thanks Ernio! I'm not so sure what to do from here... It crashes now but I'm 80% sure I'm not using Tessellator correctly..

UPDATE!

 

I fixed the crashing issue.. I forgot about worldRenderer.startDrawingQuads()

 

However, I still cannot see my model, as I don't know what to do for addVertex().. am I supposed to use the vertexData?

[HassanS6000]

UPDATE No.2

 

I can get it to render - it's just screwed up.
