(July 14, 2016) New NOTE TO ANY WHO ENJOY THIS PACK: So it has been a year since I've discontinued the pack, things have only gotten worse. Not only have the resource pack improvements that I was looking forward to not come to 1.9 (or 1.10!), 1.9 broke all of my models!
Over 200 model files (because I had additional unreleased item models) that I'd have to sift through and fix by hand, since no decent converter exists yet. Making things more difficult is that many of my items have 'odd' display rotations, rotations being the worst of the things changed... the best converter there is so far will not convert rotations properly (it also doesn't round, so most numbers that don't come out evenly have at least 16 decimal places after) and the creator has said they've stopped working on it (you can contribute on it via Github, but I don't think anyone has done so).
Beyond that, natural looking textures are hard to do at 16x and the model format is too restricting (I can't even make a low-poly sharp sword!) so I had very little room to improve (I was trying, but it was difficult... I had better luck trying to think of new models and improving atlas usage for optimization) but 1.9 has stopped me dead in my tracks. Losing interest in the game (and not having the ability to mod to make the things that I want in the game!) also doesn't help.
Anyways, hopefully those of you visiting the page can still enjoy the pack somewhat if you're using some variant of 1.8. Still would like any comments from people who actually use this pack frequently, as I'm not aware of any that do!
Contains 50+ custom models (depending on what you consider, since there are tweak models and items inheriting block models). VTC differs from other packs that have 3D models because it uses a vanilla-friendly style (NOT faithful) and is completely hand-made (written manually using a text editor) with the intention of being simple and functional. Models are made of easily visible boxes (typically 2-6) rather than complex models with tons of tiny boxes that is common among Cubik users. Because of my simple models AND that my models are on functional blocks (redstone, cacti, wheat, mob spawner, doors, etc.) rather than building blocks (grass, tall grass, bricks, etc.) VTC should not cause a noticeable performance decrease. At least on decent hardware that you can already comfortably play on.
Many of the models are just my original ideas taken into 3D. Some of them are not achievable with ordinary textures. Overall, especially thanks to the same models being used different forms, they are more visually pleasing than ever before, and make the game feel more graphically unified and capable.

Interested in how I made models? Well, you're in luck, I made a tutorial about it!
download and use the pack (obviously)
If you are not sure about if something is OK (specifically where I give situationals), contact me before doing it.
Now I just have the most recent screenshots that I have, more will be added later.

VTC is a self-inspired*5, vivid, bright-ish, (partially pixel-art style) shaded pack with its own style and lore. While a majority of textures are done, the pack changes often as many things are re-done. I am still working on unifying, yet branching out the style of the pack.I try to use every vanilla feature I can into the pack, and a few non-vanilla features as well.
Features:
This section is for anything that depends on development other than my own.
Feedback needed! The future depends on it. Tell your friends?
*1: Classic CTM glass is made decoratively that not only allows you to make designs, but also does not contain any tiles without pixels, meaning you'll never walk into glass if there is a large glass structure. It also has no backface culling (so you see both sides) and had innerSeams set to true (so you can see inside corners). These features are currently only in MCpatcher.Can I fix it? No, not really, not without messing it up for MCpatcher, so you can make the change if you want it*1b. If you do this, the glass will connect, but will still be a little wonky (in my opinion), but then again, most CTM glass is worse.
*1b:You CAN use this glass in Optifine, however you have to go into the pack (specifically./assets/minecraft/mcpatcher/ctm/glass) and edit glass' .properties files to have the last line (renderPass) commented out, just by putting a number sign (#) in front of it (hint hint, like the first line).
*2:ONLY if official pack support is added to MC:PE, and I can only add official support for the Android version. I'm not going to support something that has to be hacked into application files or packages, and I don't want to have to put users through that anyways. I'm going to assume (and hope) that pack support on Android and iOS would be equal, but I can't test for iOS as I don't have/want an iOS device.
*3: Their dopey faces (especially when they open their mouths), complex models, higher-res textures, and sounds seem annoying and out of place in Minecraft to me, plus I feel it's unneeded. I just don't like the idea, and implementation just makes it worse. Maybe if they add in changing models/animations I'll change it, but only after making them simpler and mute. I've already added in the run bar to the GUI, so I'm not touching them anymore.
*4: A version with a smaller file size, and possibly legacy support. Less sounds (especially not vital ones), and possibly reduced quality on those that are there. Legacy support would be included because before I added sounds to the pack, I did support previous texture pack versions. Possibly also a lower resolution textures especially on those that I made larger.
*5: Self inspired: I've been working on this pack for over 2 years, and I've never even really used another pack. I started playing in Beta 1.2_02 and used default for a while until I discovered you can make your own textures for the game. I've been working on my pack ever since, and I've been using the experience to fine-tune and branch out my art style, while growing as an artist. Also, if you haven't noticed already, these notes are out of order, as I'm making them as I'm writing.... I may fix them later....
*6: not guaranteed

Now I just have the most recent screenshots that I have, more will be added later.

While a majority of textures are done, the pack changes often as many things are re-done. I am still working on unifying, yet branching out the style of the pack.I try to use every vanilla feature I can into the pack, and a few non-vanilla features as well.
Features:
- 100% original, self-inspired textures
- original ideas and lore
- uncompromised dedication to names, ideas, crafting recipes, uses, or stereotypes
- (besides edits of C418's work) 100% original sounds, recorded and edited by me
- optimized textures (meaning a smaller file and faster download)
- non-annoying rain sounds
- custom language (modified english)
- custom main-menu texts (a.k.a. "splashes")
- CTM support
- decorative classic CTM glass for MCpatcher*1
- Natural Textures Mod support (for Optifine only)
- odd-resolution textures (allows for 1px centers)
- takes advantage of new features within development of Minecraft (assuming they agree with stable)
Goals:
- finish all old textures (especially paintings and mobs)
- edit new textures
- add onto lore (villager and cyborg lore)
- more 15x and 24x/23x textures
- more 24x (1 & 1/2 times larger than default) for mobs that need it.
- more sounds
- more CTM support (especially random)
- Randommobs support?
- Lightmap support?
- CIT support?
- a "light" version*4
Likely (depends on other developments):
This section is for anything that depends on development other than my own.
- support for any more resource pack features that come out
- MC:PE version*2
- black and white images in grayscale to save more space (if Mojang fixes this)
Not likely:
- A full separate HD version of the pack
- horse textures*3
- Xbox360 version (no way to test it)
Feedback needed! The future depends on it. Tell your friends?

- changed arrow item model display (not drops facing upwards)
- inherited tripwire hooks item model from their block model
- fixed redstone torch off state
- new mob spawner crystal colors

The only thing I could imagine is because I made some posts on the forum, unless just random people getting here searching for a vivid pack.
Although to hazard a guess, probably because when it tanked on MCF I buried it, I seem to be the sole user of the pack (or those that exist aren't vocal about it) and even I stopped even bothering to tell people about it at some point.
Do you actually use the pack? I guess I had always assumed you were like every other artist (myself included) who only used their own stuff. Although it could go either way with you wanting HD textures or wanting to use my pack from how much it differs from yours, plus a light pack that would likely put much less strain on your laptop....
