[1.11.2] Help with Block Rendering

[firejar710]

Hello! I am sorry for this extremely vague question, but I need help with Rendering Blocks:

 

(1): Can you render a block using multiple .json files? Say I have a Stone Slab whose model is 1/3 a block tall, and I wand to stack them. Would I have to have a different .json file per blockstate or could I just repeat the same model 3 times?

 

(2): If I can have more than one .json file, can I animate them separately?

 

(3): Is the an alternative to using the .json model? say I want to have a more detailed model then the ones you can make with the .json file. How does that work?

 

Thank you so much for your time. Even if you can just point me in the right direction of where to look for answers I would appreciate it.

1) Yes. You do it via the blockstate file.

2) I don't know

3) OBJ models.

Thanks Is there anywhere you could point me so I can read up on including OBJ files?

3. You could also use a tile entity special renderer, if you want to make it really complicated.
