like just a custom minecraft skin so you can switch on the fly, no fancy modeling.
You can download it here to look at it yourself: ( but
this isnt totally correct please read )
There are two things going on.
One: the maud.bbmodel file. This is made with blockbench. It's a project file, not an export. You can open it up in that if you want.
I made this file by using the "Minecraft Skin" preset. In my case the skin I downloaded is intended for the "slim avatar" model, so I picked that. And disabled posing. I then converted that to a "generic model". I also had to click on a body part and then go through the body part tree turning on a few parts of the model that were disabled by default (mask, outer layer of clothes). When I saved the model, it bundled the texture data into the model as a base64 png.
Two: the script.lua file. By default, Figura keeps your default player model enabled and renders it at the same time as your custom model. We don't want this. The lua file contains these 4 lines:
this isnt totally correct please read
vanilla_model.ALL:setVisible(false)
vanilla_model.HELD_ITEMS:setVisible(true)
vanilla_model.HELMET_ITEM:setVisible(true)
vanilla_model.PARROTS:setVisible(true)
This disabled the vanilla model, and then re-enables held item. I think this is partially wrong though. Because it hides my iron armor that I'm wearing. So there is other things I need to turn back on. But I don't know the Figura API to figure out how to do that, and I cant find it in the docs.
Probably what i actually want to do is just turn OFF the player model and leave all the extra stuff on but I don't know how to do that either. TODO, i guess. I don't feel like joining their discord to find out for myself. I'll probably just read the source code later
But yeah after all that if you put the folder in your .minecraft/figura/avatars then you can load it and upload it to the figura cloud.
