After much research, I present a set of templates for skinning mobs. I was doing research on these for creating papercraft generators. I realized that these would be helpful making skins for texture packs. I have the same information in PHP files too, if anybody wants them.
Since I have not updated some of the older mobs, here is my test texture pack with all of the mobs and most of the items in the items directory as PDN files. I think some of the skins are only partially showing (like not all cubes of the golem are visible because I was checking on a couple of stray sections that the skin file has, but are not used.) At least that has all of the files in one nice zip file.
Pigman, Pig zombie and Zombie all follow the standard character template.
Ghast_fire is just the ghast template when the ghast is firing.
Spider_eyes is an overlay onto the spider template when spiders are hostile. It glows when spiders are hostile. It is also applied to the cave spiders.
Saddle is just the pig template the saddle surrounds the entire pig. Alas, including a set of reigns will not help control them.
Villager skins are in the villager folder with different professions as file names.
For those looking to change the armor in their texture packs, the armor skin basics are covered by the various character templates. I recommend SkinEdit. Or if you want a really fancy skin editor.Armor Research AlbumThe details are as follows:
The helmet is the head and hat sections of the template in the "1" files.
The tunic is the torso and arm sections of the "1" files.
The pants are the leg and torso sections of the "2" files.
The boots are the leg section of the "1" files.
Notes:
The helmet box is slightly larger than the hat box on the character.
The helmet's hat box is slightly larger than that, it surrounds the normal helmet box.
The tunic's torso and arm boxes are slightly larger than the body torso and arm boxes.
The boots' boxes are slightly larger than the leg boxes

Topic moved from Modding Discussion to Texture Discussion (Thanks to the moderators.) EDIT 2011-10-17: Added Enderdragon. EDIT 2011-11-20: Added more notes on the Enderdragon parts (in the spoiler.) EDIT 2012-02-27: Added Ocelot and Iron Golem. EDIT 2012-09-09: Added Wither. EDIT 2012-09-30: Added Bat and Witch.
The templates follow the same naming convention, 640 is 10 times skin actual resolution, 1280 is 20 times. The neck and tail use the same textures (Spine Segment and Spine Plate.) They are rotated for the tail, the left sides of the boxes become the right sides of the boxes on the tail and the fronts of the boxes become the backs of the boxes for the tail.
The body is made up of animated fire until it uses its 3 shots then it is smoke until it recharges. Has head and 12 "rods" orbiting it, 2 groups of 4 in an upper orbit and 1 group of 4 in a lower orbit.
The body is made up of "slice" boxes. The slices overlap in the texture file, the bottom texture of the bottom slice is mostly made of the left side of the texture, the top texture of the bottom slice is mostly made up of the front texture.
I made my own texture pack for testing parts of these templates, so when I play for research I have techno-colored mods wandering around. Aaron "RobotHacker" Shawhttp://papercraft.robhack.com/
That's amazing work and so useful! I just can't think why no-one has done this before! Then again, yes I can...you've completed an awe-inspiring task that others would have baulked at.
You're website and paper constructions are absolutely fascinating! Awesome in every sense of the word!
I do not have the companion mod installed so Charlotte is not 100% verified, but it looked like they followed the same general format as the other skins. The area that would be for the end/bottom of the pony tail was blank, probably to make it see through on the model. Some parts on the chicken are the same way.
This is awesome. You have no idea how long I've been looking for just a chicken template! I apologize if his thread is too old to be posted in, but EGADS, this was helpful. Thank you!
