Can't have an open source game without a tux running around.

Yeah, I studied the mlp mod made for minecraft and thought they looked horrible. So I improved on the concept. Glad you like them.

There is a program made for minecraft that allows you to make models.
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/200 ... -for-help/

could they be imported from there into this game?

Its very easy to use and its designed to makes things for minecraft.

Not really sure if that's necessary since it apears that we sorta got the hang of things without it. But who knows, maybe it's beneficial to someone.

would be beneficial to everyone who doesn't want to waste hours with blender.

Really? I spent five mins testing and it worked within reason.

NakedFury · by **NakedFury** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 21:57 Post

ok gonna try it out. Would need some information first or we need to come up with a sort of standard.

How do you measure the blocks? by pixel?
how big is the player character? 2 blocks high? is the character even a model?
in what file type do we save or work in?

I like your pingouin and oerkki Gambit

I call this one, Grim. Obviously a hostile mob. Grim only shows when the player is nearly dead. It only attacks when you turn your back against it. Grim can be hit, but cannot be killed. The only way to rid the Grim is to restore your health.

Gambit where do you make this models? Blender?
how do you measure the size? I mean how big will they look in Minetest?

Gambit · by **Gambit** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 03:02 Post

I use Lightwave to make the models. As for the size, they're gonna be big. still trying to figure out the actual size of the player model already in the engine so I could set them to their suitable size.

And from what I believe, Blender can import .lwo format, so that won't be a problem.

NakedFury · by **NakedFury** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 03:11 Post

instead of a player use blocks as comparison. IF the player model ends up being the same as in MC then 2 blocks high and 1 wide.

use krisis 3d player model as comparison.

Gambit · by **Gambit** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 04:57 Post

Ah, but the question remains... how big are the actual blocks? My guess is it's 16x16 pixels.

They're (logically) 1 cubic meter, and are as many pixels in a given dimension as the texture pack you're using.

My brain broke...

Eh, forget I wrote that; I took it to mean "how big are the regular dirt/stone/etc. blocks in the game?", which I should have assumed folks here would know :-)

Serves me right for posting while tired.

The textures can differ tho? 16x16 then 64x64 then something like 256x256 so I'm not sure how your getting one cubic meter.

If you took a dirt or stone or other solid node from the game and "printed" it at real life size (say with a rapid prototyping machine), it would end up as a perfect 1x1x1 meter cube, while the standard flat player images would end up exactly 1.6 meters tall (and about 0.01 mm thick ;-) ), regardless of the pixel resolution of the original texture's image canvas.

3D mobs would have to be drawn with that in mind, otherwise you might end up with over/undersized features when the mob is put into use.
