Those were both the exact ways I wanted to do them too, I'm kind of considering the over-the-shoulder though. The problem with that is, you would have less FOV, so if you mine or aim a bow, a creeper could dispatch you easier, but then again that's the same for first person. Making the head or body transparent would work but the over-shoulder would be stylish.
Another thing: I think it's zoomed out fairly far, I it would be cool if +/- could zoom in and out(just like in mmo's :biggrin.gif:).
I've updated the OP in that thread.
Zooming would be useful, I'd prob have it zoomed out just a tad more then usual.
Also, I'm unsure how in the world FoV would act with this, lol. FoV already makes it so that if you look up you seem super short, and if you look down you seem endermen sized.

The FOV in options is just a carnival mirror effect, not an actual zoom, which I find really annoying and it gives me a head ache. I only turn it up when I'm in a boat looking for mushroom biomes.
An over-the-head view (similar to how the camera is now, just one block up so we can see what we're doing), and a "dollhouse" effect when indoors. Remove the wall closest to the camera, but still show the back three walls.
Aesthetically, I'd prefer to be able to see the outside of the house (instead of blank space) around the "dollhouse", but it makes more sense not to, for gameplay balance's sake.
^This, I love playing in 3rd person, I get to see my skin, Any armor skins i have on, And just generally feels more cool to me. I'd really love to see some changes happen.

That's just my idea. It's combining two things people said on this thread, and I think it'd work best that way.

That makes no sense. >_<
You can see whether there are kittehs behind you without turning around and scaring them away.
