Install

To install from PyPi

# Linux/mac
python3 -m pip install PILSkinMC

# Windows
py -3 -m pip install PILSkinMC

How it works?

The library uses an isometric grid view to render skins with added shading to give a simple yet effective 3D look. Once imported you can simply paste in a pre-loaded skin file as such.

image = Image.new('RGBA', (400, 400))
skin = Image.open('skin.png').convert('RGBA')

paste_skin(image, skin, xy=(20, 20))

Positioning

The xy coordinates will be at the top left of the rendered model, if you require help with more complicated positioning you can use the skin_get_bbox() function to get the bounding box of the full model.

Skin type (poses)

By default the paste_skin() function will presume skins are of the wide 4px arm variant, this can be changed by parsing in a pose which can be one of 4:

• PILSkinMC.poses.SLIM
• PILSkinMC.poses.WIDE
• PILSkinMC.poses.SLIM_GRUM
• PILSkinMC.poses.SLIM_GRUM

(yes I added custom poses for Grum/Dinnerbone variants)

Scaling

By default the paste_skin() function will render skins at a scale of 64, this is the size of the theoretical isometric grid that the skin is being rendered off of. To change it simply parse a scale with any integer value.

Note: It is recommended to only use scales that are powers of 2 (4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, etc) as irregular values can sometimes cause gaps in the resulting image.

The scale option can also be used in the skin_get_bbox() function to get the bbox with the desired scaling.
