[1.15.1] Get a json model part in a java class ?

[DragonITA]

import mod.dragonita.fantasymod.resources.assets.fantasymod.model.HatModel

public class Test(){
 public static HatPart = HatModel.HatPart1;
}

Good afternoon, I was wondering if it is possible to get a part of a model in a Java class. I have a Json Model and I want to animate a certain part of it. Now the big question: would this code work (see below)?

 

 

 

If yes or no then let me know. If I have done something wrong please tell me. Thanks for reading it.

P.S.: I am writing this from a mobile device, just for info.

I have no idea if it could work or not, but I've been trying:

public class Test(JsonObject json){
 if(json.has("Something"))
 {
   System.Out.print("Hi") 
 }
}

Possible or not

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Json models are loaded and baked into objects that can easily be uploaded to your GPU for rendering. It is possible to animate these models but it is hard. What exactly are you trying to do, from a player's perspective?

I want to animate an entity with an OBJ model. You said yourself that you can use an OBJ model with a Json file. So, I want to animate my model with that too, that means that I will write in the Json file which model I want to use, then write the parts that are in the model and that I want to animate and then I will be able to animate it with that too. So I would say from the player perspective.

By this I meant something like "Make a campfire that has animated flames"

A OBJ Entity that i will be animate.

I did this by splitting my entity into separate models and rendering them with separate rotations etc. You can make your own animation system if you want though (Pixelmon Generations has something you can use IIRC).

Thanks for that information, but there's only one question left: Did your entity have an OBJ file or a normal Json file? I would like to get an OBJ file thanks to the help of a Json file, as for the OBJ Block Models, but I would like to know how you did it if your entity had an OBJ Model or if you just did it with a Classic Java file?

My entity had 3 json models. But json, obj & b3d models all get turned into the same BakedModels for rendering so it doesn't matter.

I did it by loading the models, loading & stitching their textures, baking the models and then rendering them in my renderer.
