SOMEONE TELL ME!!! It is needed unless you consider stacking and parenting cubes together in Mine-Imator itself modeling. And this generates .json models. It allows them to be easily made and previewed rather than being programmed by hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats wrong with any other model make? why is everyone so exited?! WHATS DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS ONE!?(not mad, just i want to know) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats wrong with any other model make? why is everyone so exited?! WHATS DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS ONE!?(not mad, just i want to know) Mine-imator needs it own format to work correctly. It's much easy for David and Nimi to implement it using their own format. This modeler exports that format, and is the only program that can. You could do it by writing the .json file by hand, but that would be slow and tedious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does MI now use a different format of .json models? i cant imagine it will, considering MI will support MINECRAFT resource pack MODELS!!!! so unless MI converts a MC resource pack model....

One program that exports .json files can be completely different than Mine-Imator. Mine-Imator will not know how to read those files. it will not understand model files unless they are from Modelbench. So the Minecraft model format and the Modelbench format both use .jsons, but that does not mean they are cross compatible. For example, Minecrafts model format could be something like this (I am just making this up for an example) { "name": "Balloonicorn", "dimensions": [1, 2, 3] } While the Modelbench format could be like this: { "title": "Balloonicorn", "shape": [1, 2, 3] } So while they have similar uses, the programs cannot read it unless it is made for that program.

Maybe, this model creator has extra features, cause maybe MI models will have something MC models dont...we'll see it was a good argument, but we could go on forever and no one would win. besides, neither one of us can prove the other right or wrong. so lets drop it, hmm? { "ambientocclusion": false, "textures": { "particle": "blocks/waterlily", "texture": "blocks/waterlily" }, "elements": [ { "from": [ 0, 0.25, 0 ], "to": [ 16, 0.25, 16 ], "faces": { "down": { "uv": [ 16, 16, 0, 0 ], "texture": "#texture", "tintindex": 0 }, "up": { "uv": [ 16, 0, 0, 16 ], "texture": "#texture", "tintindex": 0 } } } ] } this is the .json model for a lily pad in MC(its just what i had handy from the pack i'm making) what i mean is, why would MI models need to be any different?

I am not sure how completely true it is that the new Mine-Imator update will support MC models, I haven't heard of that. And the modeler does have extra features that Minecraft doesn't have, such as bending. And I can prove you right. (Didn't know we were arguing though.) Edit: I read David's topic on the upcoming update and didn't see anything that said it will load resource pack models. Just .json models, which he was referencing to Modelbench before the public knew it existed. Edited September 5, 2017 by Ezcha More info Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
