Posted June 1, 20169 yr Hi, I'm wondering how to render a 3D model as an item in Minecraft. I've got a .obj file and a .mtl file and an item which should use these files- So how can I do this with Forge 1.9.4? Thx in advance. Bektor Developer of Primeval Forest.
June 1, 20169 yr OBJ and B3D models are part of the baked model system, so you can use them anywhere you'd use a JSON model. On the client in preInit, call OBJLoader#addDomain / B3DLoader#addDomain to tell the appropriate loader that it's allowed to load models from your resource domain (mod ID). Then specify the path to the model like you would for a JSON model, but include the .obj/.b3d extension. Forge's blockstates format may be useful (despite the name, it can be used for items as well as blocks). Forge has a test mod for OBJ/B3D models here (assets are here). Please don't PM me to ask for help. Asking your question in a public thread preserves it for people who are having the same problem in the future.
