Hey there guys and gals, I'm new here and to this hobby in general, and have yet to try my hands at any builds, but I stumbled upon an idea whilst looking through my download folder for some of the templates I downloaded, and I saw all of my minecraft player models that I have downloaded... three dimensional objects flattened to 2d pictures... I thought, could I? Is it possible? Can I have an army of creepers of my own? I think it's worth trying and so I shall! I don't know if this is the right place to have put this post or even the right time as I don't have pictures or anything yet, but I shall get supplies on this coming tuesday and then I shall start the adventure that I hope leads to fun times all around.
Right now what I'm thinking is to start with the creepers, a very simple structure with no necessary joints, where as the player model has arms and legs and a head... and I'm thinking of how I might make the head and arms move. I want them to be able to stand up so I think I'll keep the legs simple and connected to the body, but the arms and head... these I want to move, I think.
So, I was wondering what you guys might think? Any tips for the joint-ing business and the crafting in general? I'm thinking I will probably have to modify the games file it uses for the mobs, as there is no excess space on it, which means no place to put the glue, but that should be simple enough to do I think.
I'm really rather excited about this and hope it turns out well!
