Re: Fur Card Unity URP - Crash Bandicoot
Oh, I tested with the Data Transfer in the Blender modifier, and I feel like it greatly improves the rendering in Unity. Initially, I was only using the Weight Normal, and I think the issue probably came from that. And I disabling Backface rendering in shader
My fur cards are currently a test, and I plan to modify them to achieve a smoother and nicer look.

Re: [WIP] Workshop Isometric Diorama
Micro blockout of secondary elements. It's probably obvious but I relied a bit too heavily on the artist's initial sketch not realising things obviously changed in the final piece xP So I made some quick fixes here as well as adding the smaller but important parts in. Also fixed in a camera for later.

[WIP] Workshop Isometric Diorama
Been a hot little minute since I posted on here, but I'm back in the swing of 3D things for my final year of game art studies 
One of my resolutions for the year is to actually start maintaining personal projects alongside university work, which I arguably should have started doing sooner, though my confidence at the time barred me from a lot of things :")
I've found working on "fun" stuff alongside projects defined as "work" in my head (final uni project AAH) has done wonders for my mental state and motivation (shocking I know). I'm trying to make sure I don't get too distracted by stuff I do on the side, but I'm still giving them a similar organisational approach to how I plan out my uni work with soft deadlines for different stages of the process.
On that note here is a blockout of this lovely little isometric pixel art scene by @/Entairon_Kizon (Aconite_poison) on Twitter/X I made Monday night! I was prompted to have a go at making a diorama by the Dintober 14-step diorama challenge; whether I finish this within the month is debatable but I appreciate the steps and guide the challenge provides.
The lights still need some work, I referenced the artist's initial sketch/blockout for my own blockout and tried to mimic the shadow lighting but I'll probably delete that now that I've compared my scene with the final piece :P

Re: strategies for dealing with OFPA bloat and perforce?
in Epic's defence you only need the account to download the engine/source code or use the marketplace - you can work completely offline otherwise.
This seems reasonable - they're giving you the engine in exchange for a little bit of data and you kinda need an account to use an online store.

Re: Smooth group import plugin for Zbrush
Yeah that would be my suggestion. If the plugin for zbrush doesn't exist anymore. Convert hard edges to creases in your DCC

Re: Smooth group import plugin for Zbrush
I think OP meant what zbrush calls "creases" probably. A way to turn hard edges to zbrush creases so hard edge would stay hard when you hit "divide" button. It's possible to do if you apply a separate material to each smooth group in your 3d soft and zbrush would import it as fbx polygroups. Then its "creasePG" button in zbrush . For Blender I am pretty sure chat GPT could make you such a script .
Also it's possible to make those polygroups automatically directly in zbrush by "Groups by Normals" works quite ok on hard surfaces .
But usually hard/split and smooth edges are something from gamedev only area Zbrush never focused on. You do them after Zbrush on retopo, remeshed things usually , not on something sculpted . You need evenly tessellated quads only model to work on in zbrush . In game model rarely do so.

Re: How I reduced eye fatigue
@Yerus @rodrigocox
yeah i've been trying to work outside on my laptop as much as i can lately, and it definitely helps a lot. it can be a little hard to see the screen at some times of the day, but overall feeling a lot less fatigued if i spend at least a few hours outside like that

Re: Did Gumroad just get dumped by PayPal?
Gumroad had it coming. Always telling Paypal they were 'just on a business trip with colleagues', that they're just 'old friends' with credit cards. Glad Paypal has gotten it through their heads that Gumroad was just playing them, messing with their feelings and treating them no better than an IOU note or a Domino's coupon for a buy 1 free 1 personal sized pizza.
Hope Paypal can move on from this mess, godspeed
