Branch to the upcoming Model-Making feature

[Spartan14087 19]

Some things that I would like to see in the upcoming model making feature is custom bendable limbs/body parts. So when you add a snake or something, you could set "joints" for the snake to slither with. Another suggestion could be to add a "stretchy" joint to something, so an iron golem can stretch its arms without the need for extra instances/objects. I know it's in heavy development, so this is just something I want you to keep in mind. Anyways, I love your work!

I agree, if and when model making is added, joints would be almost necessary. I don't understand why David can't just set up a system to import models from techne *shrugs*.

Don't worry, I'll make sure the model creator supports bending

1. From what I understand, Techne doesn't have a parent feature, so you can't parent the body with legs or arms.

2. The Techne format is not publicly available.

Ah, that makes more sense. Thanks for clearing that up!

Awww... And I just learned how to use Techne. Will there be custom model support in 0.7

They are a zip file with a model.xml inside, you just need to walk through the <shape> definition to get the coordinates, size, rotation, etc.

This is how I was able to add techne models to nova skin texture pack editor: http://minecraft.novaskin.me/texturepacks#techne

There should be a button in the top-right that says "Skip" after 5 seconds. Try temporarily disabling any ad-blocking add ons you may have, or try another browser. If all fails, download directly here.

I always think that, since you import techne models, should'net it been a whole model?

If techne support is added,import 1 piece at a time,such as import the boy,then the arms,and so on.but import them as seperate models then parent them to the body

David, are you going to add Alex player model too? If i want to render images / animations with this and over 50% of skins i will use have Alex player model's hands. That would be just useful.  (the 3 pixel wide arms)

I believe it's planned and it's been suggested by a handful of people. Also, topic bump much?
