RE: MINECRAFT - Vipershark - 04-11-2011
billboarding?
RE: MINECRAFT - Sengir - 04-11-2011
yesh, billboards are 2d planes that always face the camera
RE: MINECRAFT - Kitsu - 04-11-2011
It's the first mob to use billboarding probably because that feature doesn't seem to exist in vanilla MC. And people generally like models more.
RE: MINECRAFT - GaryCXJk - 04-11-2011
Yeah, I actually create things like billboards and spherical shapes and shit just as a big fuck you towards those who only want blocky models.
By the way, with Turbo Model Thingy, it is in theory possible to create voxel mobs.
EDIT: Also, billboarding DOES exist in vanilla MC, as the items you drop. So yeah.
RE: MINECRAFT - Kitsu - 04-11-2011
If I remember correctly, they aren't quite billboards, since they only face you horizontally. They don't completely face you when you're above or below them.

Doesn't make them less billboard-y.
Also, particles. They're billboards also. And they do always face you.

but
it's... in keeping with the game's aesthetic to stick with blocky models
cool if you can do other things, but it'll look out of place and tacky, so
what exactly is the point?
man why am I even bothering

Also, let's not forget that this was once in Minecraft:

For people who've been not sure about buying Minecraft: There's now an actual demo available.
It's the full game, but locks so you can't play it anymore after 90 minutes.

RE: MINECRAFT - Key - 04-20-2011
Recreated the cow skin for non-demo version.

personally, I don't think 90 minutes is enough time for someone to really "get" the game
RE: MINECRAFT - Key - 04-20-2011
It's 100 minutes, now.
RE: MINECRAFT - tgb621 - 04-21-2011
Has anyone else has problems with having thousands of creepers in your house after using the craftbook mob spawning ic?
