Importing .obj models in 1.15.2

[Kaiser Frederick]

Hello fellow coders! 

   I am in the making of a WW1 Minecraft Mod (in 1.15.2) and I am using blender for modeling. Since I am quite new to this, I need some help on being helped with trying to import .obj models in Intellij, and into Minecraft. If anyone has any help, it would be much appreciated. Much Thanks!

Hi

 

Have a look at this working example project, it uses a wavefront obj model

See mbe21 - it uses TileEntityRender but the principles are basically the same for blocks, items, and even entities as well.

 

Try to keep your blender models quite simple otherwise Minecraft can really struggle with them.  I'd also suggest that you start with something extremely simple- take baby steps and test often, because some parts of the import are quite finicky.  There are some tricks about meshing especially quads, normals, textures, and groups that you have to be careful with.

 

Cheers
