Minecraft Skin Renderer
=======================

[](#minecraft-skin-renderer)

Renders a 3D minecraft skin using PHP. Work in progress.

**To Do**

- Alex Skin Support

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
use james090500\MinecraftSkinRenderer;
$skin = "https://minecraftapi.net/api/v1/profile/ba4161c03a42496c8ae07d13372f3371/skin";
$renderedSkin = MinecraftSkinRenderer::render($skin);
header("Content-Type: image/png");
echo $renderedSkin;
```

`$skin` can be a url, file handle or a path to a file. The render method returns a rendered skin image.

Timings
-------

[](#timings)

I ran 250 tests compiled of 5 different skins on a i5-10500. The average runtime of all these tests where 342ms per operation. It would be wise to cache the images after generation for a period of time.

**Skins tests and results**Average - 342ms

1. [Alex](https://namemc.com/skin/c178117c21bd0a1c) - 395ms
2. [Steve](https://namemc.com/skin/12b92a9206470fe2) - 410ms
3. [Mov51](https://namemc.com/skin/2e8a0ff28885ef08) - 416ms
