png-files as scenery

[Pauli90 22]

Is it possible to import png-files as part of scenery to your animation? E.g. if I want to have a custom painting and it exists as .png (or similar formates)? And if so, how do I do that?

Thanks in advance

Welll.You can export the urm... Schematic textures then add the PNG to the block you want to be like that.

Export the urm? What do you mean?

I've already added a wooden wall as schematic file, then used my PNG as texture. This doesn't work.

Also, I have modified the "skin" of a minecart, but this isn't satisfying. Especially as the minecart is like 16x20 and my PNG is somewhat 1000x1000.

The only way I see for your painting to happen is to put in bit by bit.

 

If you were going to use item.png-s then I'd say past a part of your PNG into the 256x256 and add items for each part. It could be tedious though.

 

Another way is to take the biggest flat body part of the existing mobs, and place your .PNG onto its body and just put multiple of them, it could also be tedious, however it could take less time than the item way.

Hm, using big flat body parts of mobs, that's an idea. Enderdragons are big...

Thanks a lot!

They are, unfortunately, Enderdragons are not in 0.7 demo yet. However I would say use an Iron Golemn, unless there's something bigger

Ghasts are bigger, but it doesn't matter as it seems...

I've found out that, using Paint for modifying PNGs, you can enlarge a skin without affecting its functionality. This way, you can make it fit to the size of your actual painting.

Long story short: it works with everything a skin is available for, e.g. a ghast or a minecart as they have a usefull shape for a painting (I'd have liked to upload a screenshot here, but obviously it doesn't work...).
