Techne Missing?

[NathanPhillis]

So earlier i tried to download Techne off the website (http://zeux.me/) to make some 3D armor models until i realized that the Techne download is missing and instead his blog is there. So it would be great if someone could upload a copy of Techne or explain if there is an other way to make 3D armor models for 1.10+.

If you google techne you will find a link to the techne page (techne.zeux.me).

The only official working one left seems to be:

It hasn't been worked on in a while it seems..Hopefully Zuex hasn't dropped  it

There is also a mod on curse called qubble that adds similar functionality as techne in game as a menu item. I haven't messed with it a ton, but it seems fairly cool.

There's also IChun's Tabula. I used it to redo the Power Fist for Modular Powersuits (1.10.2) for dual wielding. The exported code still works since ModelBase is still a thing, so far. There's also a tool somewhere on the curse forums to convert the Tabula model to a Wavefront model, just in case you wanted to go that route.

Thanks guys!

I think ill just stick with techne for now but ill take a look at tabula

Really you should move to JSON, just saying

If you want to things like entities or special TEs, you can't use JSON

TESRs no but alot of TESR can be replaced by JSON and I'm pretty sure entities use JSON as well

They can, using AnimationModelBase. This also allows the model to be animated with Forge's baked model animation system.

Oh. I guess so, learned something new

For those who still want to use Techne, I have re-posted it on PMC with working files on behalf of Zuex.

If you want to switch to json models you can try MrCrayfish's Model Creator for free.

you have to friddle around a lot thats a bit annoying and its not running well on java installed on linux. (works under same java version installed on windows... lol? who said cross platform? )

So I have bought cubic studio, its very nice, runs perfectly under linux, but you have to pay for it!

You can't use it as easily for mobs...
