Is it possible to turn meshes geometry into cube geometry (the one used for geckolib format) ? (of cubical shape ofc, was a geckolib model that i exported from bb into maya to modify uvs, then exported back to blockbench as generic model)?
The ultimate goal is to modify uvs outside of blockbench, then back to blockbench and turning the cubic meshes back into cube geometry in order to convert the project to a geckolib block/item format
Thanks in advance

not possible

mesh cannot be converted back into cubes

ouch, i thought that after reading another guy similar question

# cosmic latch not possible

will it be implemented one day? it would open up a lot of possibilities if we could turn a regular cubic model into a working in-game prop or smthg

Well it is, but extremely complicated, so it will never happen

Actually, if every element is a perfect 6 sided cuboid mesh, there is a blender addon which can be used to export Minecraft JSON objects from mesh, which can be re-imported into blockbench and converted to a geckolib project

#

I know it's not maya but if you are familiar with blender this will help too

that looks like it's specifically made for the Block/Item model format, which has harsh restriction on what rotation values a cuboid can have

#

but good to know that something like that exists I guess

I've used it for entities and got them working in game

It is admittedly finicky, but it's the only way I'm aware of
