custom elytra

[gray silo]

I know that most armor doesn't work for 3d models, but the empires SMP has custom modelled elytra. Is there a way to replicate that client side on a server?

[warped thicket]

not in vanilla or with optifine.
probably can with vanilla shaders but it's hard to learn.

[gray silo]

ok, thanks

Either a mod or just clever retexture with Optifine or similar that makes it look like a new model

[gray silo]

do you know what mods could work?

[marble blade]

Figura potentially, but I think it's just a retexture in their case with Optifine or similar

[gray silo]

alr, I'll look into it. Thanks!

[gray silo]

it doesn't look like figura can have a model active under specific circumstances

[marble blade]

it can

[gray silo]

huh?

hmm brb

im prob just blind

[marble blade]

I literally did that for someone so they have their avatar's tails spinning like Tails the fox in the Sonic games

(and remove the actually elytra)

[gray silo]

yeah, I already have a resourcepack for that though

thanks

I'll do some more research later

[gray silo]

so, I was trying to just get a custom avatar in the game to get started with figura, and I'm not sure what I did wrong. I created a skin model in blockbench, uploaded it with the name player_model, and uploaded the texture as texture

in a folder

but it's not here

[gray silo]

can you clarify on a clever optifine retexture? does it do something to custom armor textures?

[marble blade]

"clever" as in just making a texture that looks like it's a different model, but in fact it's just the same model with a different texture

[gray silo]

ah, ok

btw, do you mind sharing the script file for the spinning tail for their elytra, if you still have it?
