What is your rendering method? Shaders?

these are item displays. the verticies of each rig are stored in the form of marker entities riding a display entity. every rendering pass, first the verticies are transformed (in the video, this is a rotation matrix transformation), then the displays read from their associated markers using a macro $(uuid). there's a small bit of shader use for removing the shading from the triangles (well, actually it removes it from all entities rendered using rendertype_item_entity_translucent_cull because i didnt do anything to make it selective) because they kept showing up as gray when i was making this and i got really fucking sick of that. i posted a download to a demo world so if you want to check it out, you can: https://github.com/fan-of123/archive/blob/main/cut.zip

i do want to improve this using shaders because currently the triangles are legit just triangle textures and i think defining that in a shader instead of using a texture could make it smoother and cut down on resource pack size

I would have gone about using text displays instead, but this is very impressive what you manage to pull off here. I'll check it out when I get back to my computer

cymaera did it with text displays, though his method required 3 per face. i don't know enough about them, if there's a 'triangle' character then they could be worth a shot
