    Detailed description:
    In this video, I explain how I programmed a Minecraft Mod long with several Python scripts that allow me to convert a 3D animation from Blender into a sequence of block structures or voxel structures that can then be imported and played back inside Minecraft to easily create Stop-motion animations like Jake Eyes does on his channel. This is just my solution, and might not be the best.

      Most of them can be done in literally less than 10 clicks. Like the explosion, the fluid and the cube.
      Not saying he IS bad, is just that blender is pretty flipping good at physics.

    4:50 go around straight lines in the edges of the triangulated mesh, should work fine if the mesh is dense enough compared to the voxel size.

    • @NamePointer
      @NamePointer  3 роки тому

      Yes you're right, but if you know the mesh is dense, why not just use the vertices because it's much faster. If you want it to work with low-poly, unsubdivided meshes you have to somehow get a bunch of points on the surface at regular intervals, and that sounds complicated.

    • @IchigoFurryModder
      @IchigoFurryModder 3 роки тому

      You can probably just do the edges between the vertices and do the same 3-way interpolation you use for getting the pixels in a rasterized triangle, just in 3d, and use those points.
