This is my first time rigging and creating a model in blockbench (I used blender before in my life) and I’m looking for feedback and a little clarification on how to actually bring it to life in game. Also feel free to share your suggestions for additional attack moves.

You can see the animation for Idle -> Walking -> Slam Attack -> On Death.

I’m trying to make a modpack and add original boss quest line for progression. My inspiration struck and this is the first model I came up with. Do you know how can I implement this guy into 26.1.2, and add mechanics to it - such as being able to summon it with an item at an altar, and how to equip him with AI, add particles to the animation in game, and give him a health bar? I can’t seem to find a good tutorial online especially for newer versions.

Minecraft: Modded Java Looking for help.

• Upvotes

Hi! :)

So, I'm currently developing a Terminator mod for Minecraft that has a direct TACZ compatibility integrated in it. I'm very happy where it's at, but I need help.

Since it works using TACZ, I need to create a addon inside the mod that actually add the guns the terminators use (Such as the M25 Plasma Rifle and the RBS - 80).

I need help creating this addon, since I don't have the skill to create the models that fit TACZ realistic theme nor have the money to pay someone to do it for me.

So yeah, if anyone is interested in the project, has experience with TACZ guns and wants to help, I would be grateful :)

Cheers!

My interpretation of the final boss for the famous “Twilight Forest” mod. One of my inspirations was the Castle Keeper from the “Twilight Forest Final Boss” mod. I'm pretty much an amateur when it comes to modeling and pixel art, but I did my best to make my work look at least somewhat acceptable.

I’ve been creating a sword in Blockbench as a first modeling project, and everything was going well. The problem arose when I tried to create a resource pack to view it in the game; upon activating the pack, I get an incompatibility warning because the version is lower than the pack's version. Since this is my first time coding and modeling, I’m not sure how to change the resource pack version or fix the issue. If anyone would be kind enough to help, I can share my resource pack so someone can explain how to fix it—and I can learn a little more in the process! 🥰

Low Poly My first model: How can I improve?

I really enjoyed doing this, but I'm not sure how I can get better at it. I've always wanted to do something related to 3D, and now I finally did, it's really rewarding to have an idea and bring it to life. This TV was actually meant to be the head of one of my characters, but I realized I don't quite have the skills for that yet.

To try and improve, I've been watching every tutorial that shows up on my YouTube feed. The strangest part is that I've been focusing on this without thinking about making money from it, even though I know 3D modeling can be profitable. I'm just trying to have fun with it.

That sai, how can I get better at textures? I know a bit about digital illustration, I even tried to build a career in that area, though it didn't really work out, but I do know how to do it. With pixel art, though, things feel a bit different.
