[1.8] Custom block model -> no ambient occlusion

[DBLouis]

Hi

 

There is no ambient occlusion on the ore block, which are rendered with a custom model.

Here one image to understand the problem :

 

And some code :

Block class :

Model class :

That's weird because in the model class ambient occlusion is set to true ...

I have just updated to 1.8 - 11.14.4.1563 and there are some changes :

 

 

Ambient occlusion seems to work but not always, the block on the grass are too dark and the items are all black

I'll have fry take a look at the issue, but also, why is this a custom model.. you're rendering a normal model... just with two layers... JSON should allow you to do that just fine.

[DBLouis]

Yes but not dynamically. The mod generates all ore/rock combinations

1) lighting system needs correct normals to be specified to generate the correct AO shadowing data; you're using very old hard-coded code to generate the vertex data, which doesn't do that - if you want to generate the model like this, look at custom model loaders that are in forge.

2) retexturing like this can be accomplished more easily - get cube model from the registry (ModelLoaderRegistry.getModel(new ResourceLocation("block/cube_all"), or something similar), or make a json model with 2 layers, which would be more appropriate for this; cast to IRetexturableModel (with checking), and call retexture. Look at uses of IRetexturableModel in forge for examples.

I have tested a lot of things, nothings works. When you say "cast to IRetexturableModel (with checking)" can you show me an example. Because in every cases, I end up with a exception

Do I have to implement an IRetexturableModel ? Or can I use the class Wrapper in B3DLoader ?
