[1.16.1] Help baking an OBJ model

[Electric]

I'm trying to load an OBJ model within my entity renderer using an IBakedModel. When I call ModelLoaderRegistry.getModel it requires resourcelocation, JsonDeserializationContext, and JsonObject. I'm confused as to what the last two parameters are for and how to use them. I am just trying to point to my OBJ model file location, so why are other parameters needed?

The model loader parses a json file into a model.The last two parameters are required to supply the json information.

 

The easiest way is to let forge load the model for you by using it as a block model with a "dummy" parameter; for example see this working example
