FAQ

How do I use NPC Studio? Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3lGA7y5b9o The NPC Wand isn't working. How do I fix it? Hold "alt" to bring up the axiom options menu, and ensure the "Tinker" option on the left of the menu is disabled. If that doesn't fix it, please join the MDH Discord: https://discord.gg/uE7gFcZ7QB Can I use this modpack to make commercial thumbnails? Yes — commercial use is allowed. You can create and monetize thumbnails, videos, streams, and artwork made using this modpack. However, you may not reupload or redistribute the modpack by another name. How does this compare to software like Blender or Blockbench? Blender is more powerful, but it comes with a steep learning curve and slow workflow for quick scene iteration. This modpack is optimized for speed and thumbnail-ready composition directly in Minecraft, then finished in Photoshop. Furthermore, nearly every prominent thumbnail artist uses some variation of this workflow. If that isn't enough proof, take a look at the gallery for thumbnails I've made using only this modpack and Photoshop. I'm having issues with NPC Studio. Where do I get help? NPC Mod's Discord: https://discord.gg/uE7gFcZ7QB I'm having issues with the modpack in general. Where do I get help? For troubleshooting or setup questions, please join the Thumbnailers Discord (https://discord.gg/TTC7Uvm2N8), or DM @mangofx. Where can I get feedback on my designs?
