[1.8] Tank help

[LogicTechCorp]

I have a tank that successfully works but I have not figured out how to display the fluid inside of the tank. What is the best way to achieve this?

 

Side Notes:

 

The tank is multi-directional. (DUNSWE)

The tank is rendered using two model files that change depending on the direction of the tank. (DU), (NSWE)

open gl and TileEntitySpecialRenderer would be my first guess

I have it successfully rendering in the tank but now how do I render it in the inventory. (The tank can be picked upped and moved with the fluid still in it)

It was quite impossible some time ago.

 

Now, there is (temporary) fix:

Seems like something you are asking for.
