Minecraft Skin to Blender "Formatted" skin by Han_So_Hyun May 25, 2016 at 12:05 PM UTC

Hello everyone!
What's going on?
How are you?

I wanted to ask you all a question.
I want to make minecraft animations, using Blender, but I am not so sure as to how to change my skin.
I know how to, I have watched the videos, but none of them solves my problem.
I am using a regular minecraft skin.

But I know that the skin will not turn out well if I use that format.
So...could someone help me out?
I'll send you two pictures!

1st picture: When I put the normal skin in Blender
2nd picture: My normal minecraft skin

Thank you!
See you in game!
Bye!
Best Regards,

I have no idea about how Blender interprets image files, but from experience I suggest you turn it off and on again ;).
But maybe try saving the skin file in a different format i.e. jpeg or png and then re-upload it using Blender. 

Have you tried setting up a new projects and using a different skin, this way you can abstract the source of the problem. If it won't work with a new project and a different skin then its ever you doing something wrong or the program and not the skin. 

If it work I guess then there is a problem the skin you are using; something conflicting with the skin in the existing project. 

Good Lock with this anyway!!

Try using a 1.8 skin format. Download your skin from the website "Miners Need Cool Shoes."

Also, ew, Blender. Cinema 4D is much better. ;)

Hey, I got a Mac recently (I know :/ )
And Cinema4d won't load for me, and trouble shooters?

It won't load? What do you mean? It just won't start?

I will open the app, then it closes right away

Did you download it from a trustworthy source?

Yup,

Oh....I have downloaded Cinema4D, but the trial does not save your work...you have to purchase it..
So I decided to use Blender...in my opinion, it is quite ideal for Minecraft animations! :)

That's why you download the crack, hehe.

But yes, changing the skin to a 1.8 format will solve your problem.

Thanks for the suggestion, FrozenSolstice!
But to be honest...I prefer using Blender! :)

But where can I get a 1.8 formatted minecraft skin?
Thank you so much for your help!

Hogg..thanks!

Hi FrozenSolstice!

I have downloaded the 1.8 version of my minecraft skin.
Unfortunately, the results remain the same.

Do you have any other suggestion?
It is ok if you don't.

I really appreciated your help!
Thank you so much!

I'll see you in game!
Bye!
