So my exploits in making a custom texture pack have been going pretty alright, I made a test fit of a custom logo, a panorama using my test world. And rendered a custom font for enchanting so I can read the enchantments. (its gibberish)
But paintings..... paintings continue to mock me.
What it looks like:
vs what they're SUPPOSED to look like:
I've determined I'm not allowed to get funky with the voxels. And after jumping through no less than 50 hoops trying to find a mod, poking optifine and downloading extra crap to configure one (1) mod, I decided doing fancy crap ain't worth it and I'mma make this vanilla friendly.
(For those curious, the fossil specimens are: Psittacosaurus, Rhamphorhyncus, crinoid, Anomalocarus, Trilobite, Archeopteryx, a non-peleo accurate Pterosaur and Irritator)
For those who want the Texturepack I'm using as a base and steadily replacing as I go. It's the Quadral Pack.
