Customizable Player Models: model player, Export and видимость

Set the CPM to the right Minecraft and downloader, then open the built-in editor via its menu. When you start first, set up the interface scale and mouse control. The author First Start Guide describes these settings separately; the uncomfortable window size does not require a reset of all mod.

Create a project and save the edited source. For the first job, select one simple detail: e.g. a small element on your head. Do not start simultaneously with a new anatomy, a large cape, and complex animation: it is more difficult to understand hierarchy and rotation points.

Before changing the basic texture, save a copy of it. The edited project, the exported model and PNG-skin are different results. Save the source even after successfully downloading appearance.

A new part is added to the existing element: head, body, limbs or other user part. It moves with the parent. Therefore, the head ornament should be attached to the head rather than simply placed next to it in space.

The author's description differs:

For a detail that turns out to be a strange arc, first check Position and the parent. Only Offset can visually return it to its position in one position, but save the wrong movement in the game.

Vanilla parts are hidden by their visibility switch. User hidden parts use separate effects, including Hidden by default. Do not consider disclosure of the parent to be a universal removal of all added elements in export.

For a simple detail, select a single-ton mode or your own texture. View all sides and make sure that there are no randomly transparent edges and an inappropriate reflection of UV. A static frontal image does not show the entire model.

The author allows texture work in an external editor: save, change, then use Reload. Do not rewrite the exported skin instead of the original working texture. It is particularly important to maintain transparency and reference sizes where the project requires it.

Start File → Test ingame for a quick check. Look at walking, sitting, turning the head, using the object and looking at the first face. Correct the intersections with the arms and camera before creating complex animations.

In Stored in Skin mode, model data are recorded in an unused PNG-skin area. Select a file via the path button, complete the Export and load exactly the exported PNG as a skin through a supported launcher or Minecraft website.

This copyright mode also works on a regular server without CPM. But the extended model is only seen by clients with the installed CPM. For the rest of us, it remains a basic skin. The availability of PNG data does not cause the vanilla client to draw additional volumes.

Do not let the exported PNG pass through a service that changes size, cuts the image or pixels. These pixels may contain a model. If the skin is visually similar and the additional parts have disappeared, compare the source export with the loaded result.

In Model mode, a file is created .cpmmodel in player_models game profile folder. It can be selected in the editor or through Gestures Menu → Models, then Apply.

For documentation, this method works in a single game and on a server with the corresponding CPM mode or plagin. It is not equivalent to a skin export for an ordinary server. However, it allows local models to be changed during the game.

After export, check the folder of the current profile. Shared file .minecraft will not appear in a separate build that uses its own game directory. Don't put .cpmmodel in the mods: This is model data, not a JAR.

Data capacity is limited. The author provides for external storage, including a supported paste service and GitHub Gist. This export links the model to data. A non-accessible or remote external record can prevent downloading from other players.

Before publishing, clear the project of unnecessary hidden parts, excessive texture, and duplicate geometry. Then check whether the necessary animations and structure have been retained. Do not choose external hosting only to avoid simple cleaning of the project.

Don't put passwords, private links and account data in the public model. The exportable appearance is intended for download by other customers; the project should contain only the necessary model material.
