Hello suits, This one’s a little bit different as I don’t have any music to play with my animation. Instead, I decided to focused solely on the animation to create something that was never thought possible. If you don’t know what you’re looking at, these are bits. Twitch.tv created them for their new cheering system for their streamers. As you can see, I’ve created a 3D model, and the animation for those bits. The entire process was very challenging, as I didn’t have much to go off of. Not only did I have to recreate the models and animations, I had to figure out the best way to show off those animations in Minecraft without it being to taxing on the computer. If you know anything about models or animating models in minecraft, you know that you are Very limited to what you can do and it takes a lot of time and planning to execute those designs. This eliminates those problems. Now, I know it’s not perfect, but you can get so much out of this without having to worry about those limits. As you saw from the beginning, all these models are different colors of glass blocks. If I go into my search bar and type in the word bits, all the bits will show up. Even this extra one that I created. Twitch didn’t make an animation for the last bit, so I took it upon myself to create one. It was fun to create something, rather then to recreate what twitch had already done. Hopefully this animation is worth of the highest tier bit. Thank you Suits for watching. I hope you enjoyed this video as much as I have making it for you guys. Take care. Video Information

I created a resource pack that adds bits from Twitch.tv into Minecraft. Includes custom models, textures, and animated textures.
Resource Pack Download: http://www.mediafire.com/file/jf6jhpgb1uvsrlp/Animated+Blocks+%238.zip Minecraft version 1.8 or higher. Drag directly into your resourcepacks folder. If you are experiencing lag, unzip and remove the animated blocks files as those use are the most demanding.

The idea of creating bits for Minecraft goes to BaconDonut. I like to watch his twitch videos while I work on my projects. While watching one of his videos, bits were a new thing and Bacon was a beta tester for them. While watching, Bacon mentioned that it would be awesome if somebody made a mod that included bits into Minecraft. Well, I don’t know how to make mods, but I do know how to make extraordinary animations. The concept of my animation came from After Effects. The program can’t do 3d objects, but you can fake it by using multiple layers that are close together. Now, every texture on those models is not a different texture. 1 texture is duplicated 4 times to fill the empty space between the textures. The idea worked better then I expected. I used Cinema 4D to recreate the bits and create the animations for those bits. This was a bit challenging because the only reference Twitch provided is from the front view. Also, it was difficult to figure out an efficient way to export the textures, but with the use of Xpresso (logic in Cinema 4D) I was able to create a simple way to do this by slicing my 3d models and exporting those slices. Time: more then 100 hours. There was a lot of trial and error though out this entire project.
