Noppes Custom NPC mod [MC1.7.2]

[Aedaeum]

@blooberry Omg, haha, those orcs are adorable!
Oh, and I never did welcome you to the community, so welcome!
It's nice to have another artist around who's good at skins.

Update 18/04/2014

• Orc Male skins now completed. Preview of 5 orcs on the OP.
• Llama Farmer I put the jaffa cake in a more appropriate place (and added the tummy fluff mentioned so often in Jaffa Factory).
• As a side, made a series of Yogscast skins for you to play with. Check them out at the link below.

I love them!!!! I'm going to send the skins to them, they will love it!!!

Err.. also that isn't tummy fluff, thats errr.. some lower fluff

@HanFox Is this better, or is it still too small a detail? Show

Also, I should note that this is for the giant shuriken, not regular.

It looks better, but until you resize it to 128x/64x you'll never really know

Spent a few minutes today making coins.

Also added some Elf preview textures on the OP, and about to add a full list of completed items, and items that still need texturing.

Beautiful! Love the armor you've made. I don't suppose you could turn your hand to the Ars Magica 2 armor once you've finished what you're working on now? We've only got some borrowed textures for now. Sillyman is in charge of the Ars Magica 2 project btw.

Hey Laruae, Ars Magica is such an awesome mod! Would love to help out where I can

I'll have a go at some Ars Magica tweaks... Sillyman do you have any specific textures you want me to look at?

On a side note... mobs like the Golem, or the furry model in Custom NPC's, have complicated UV's that aren't as intuitive to read as, say, player skins.

If I could extract the model from the game and open it in 3D software, it'd make re-skinning at least 100% more efficient.

Do you know any way to extract mob models and open in 3D software like Maya?

Thanks!

[Laruae]

Hmm, I know there is BDCraft Cubik which makes models which will be usable in the future in Minecraft. In order to assemble the model you need some sort of instructions, which I would imagine are in the code for the mod. If you knew where this was, Maya could likely create the model quite easily. I will look into it.

Its nice to have you in the community. I've been a lurker here for awhile, but still fairly new to much of anything involving texturing. I am pretty good with editing textures, but pretty inept at creating new ones :X

[blooberry]

Haha likewise I've been floating around here for a while I know how you feel about texturing... I'm comfortable with CG characters, but props or blocks confuse me lol

Not sure if you understood what I meant in the last post. I'm not looking to create or rebuild a model in Maya, but extract the model from the mod directly and import it.

No worries, though. Think I'll get on with some serious Google action

[Aedaeum]

@blooberry You would have to write a Minecraft plugin to do that... There might be one floating around the net if you're lucky

This is the closest I could find in regards to what you wanted: https://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/119 ... -cinema-4d

You should be able to convert that to Maya, I know there are conversion tools around. Well I'm totally blind... There are downloads for Maya right there on the page

[blooberry]

Thanks Aedaeum that's very close, but it looks like they've rebuilt the models in C4D, rather than extracting them directly from the game. The crucial issue here is that if they've rebuilt a model, it will almost certainly have different UV co-ordinates.

Thanks so much for trying, though my own searching has turned up nothing, so I'll get in touch with Noppes and see if he has the model floating around. As soon as I know which faces of the Furry model correspond with which areas of the texture, we can get some cool stuff out.

In the meantime, here's a handful of elves.

I've also added a list of all the Custom NPC mod's items on the OP if there are any artists looking to contribute.
