    • @RFC3514
      @RFC3514 5 месяцев назад +9

      Z is depth pretty much everywhere (the depth buffer used in 3D rendering is literally known as the "Z-buffer"). He was probably creating the early models programmatically, instead of importing them from a 3D application, and typed in the coordinates for the body in the wrong order (swapping Y and Z), but typed them correctly for the legs (otherwise the legs would also have been pointing the wrong way).

    Zombie-pigman is an interesting one.
    On several other questions this would have gotten the:
    'you're on the right track, I mean you're wrong about absolutely everything, but you're on the right track'
    - bipedal: wrong
    - created before/after the regular pig: wrong
    - the creature was 'skin of a pig, model/proportions of something else': exactly backwards
    - timing: off by approximately a decade (pretty long given the lifespan of the average game)
    But the 'the mistake lives on as another creature in the game' is correct

    • @HanabiraKage
      @HanabiraKage 14 дней назад

      The biggest (wrong) assumption that they were stuck on for a while was them thinking the mistake stuck around on the pigs themselves because Markus made the mistake and never got around to fixing it. It took till they were told that the pigs in the final game weren't the first attempt for them to realise this.

  • @cameronwebster6866
    @cameronwebster6866 5 месяцев назад +3

    I think it it worth mentioning the likely source of the error; in Java (the programing language Minecraft was originaly written in) the vertical axis is usualy the Y axis, where as in most other contexts Z is usualy the vertical axis.

  • @random832
    @random832 5 месяцев назад +4

    it'd actually be the Z and Y axis that he mixed - in minecraft, Y is the height as others have mentioned, and X and Z are, well, in the world they're east-west and north-south but in models Z is front to back and X is side-to-side. So the value that was supposed to be on the Z axis [front to back] ended up being the Y axis [height]

    • @RFC3514
      @RFC3514 5 месяцев назад

      Yep. He was probably typing the coordinates of each body block manually, instead of importing the whole model from a 3D application, and swapped Z and Y on the main body section (but not the legs).
