Good day, and sorry for bothering you. I want to port models from Hogwarts Legacy to GMod for a personal project. However, when I tried to create the collision model using an extension, I received a "2-dimensional geometry" error in Crowbar. I asked a few people but didn't get good answers. Can you help me?

Are you using my Blender addon? What does your collision model look like? My addon has a Force Convex button that ensures there is no 2-dimensional geometry. But if for some reason you’re still getting that error, it might be because your collision model is too thin/small, as a whole or in some sections. Without your Blender file or a screenshot of what’s going on, I can’t really determine what the issue is.

Saturn Valley TF2 - Dev Updates

Here are some of the latest development updates for my Saturn Valley map for TF2.

-There is now a 3D Tessie lurking in the water, and he emerges whenever there's no one nearby. If you approach and get close, he quickly dunks back under the water.

-UFOs are now scattered around the map, used for making your way around. A Cute Lil UFO can carry you around the sky if you jump into its beam. Regular UFOs will catapult you from one point to another.

I got my Mr. Saturn models into the map now, fully animated. And I added a hat as an optional $bodygroup in the model which I can toggle on/off. I plan to add multiple skins for the hat, not just the Ness colors, so people can try to find all the different varieties hidden in the map as little easter eggs.

Preview of a TF2 map that I've been working on, based on Saturn Valley from EarthBound. Still very early. I just started adding the ladders. This is just half the map. I'm creating the RED team's half of the map first, then I'll be duplicating and mirroring it for BLU.

The cave + houses will all have interiors, and some EB NPC's and enemies will make an appearance as well.

Mozilla Hubs shutting down

Some very unfortunate news was announced yesterday by Mozilla. As part of the efforts of the new CEO, Mozilla will be downsizing and refocusing the company's efforts on Firefox and AI. The Hubs team is unfortunately one of the teams at Mozilla now slated to lose their jobs.

If you're familiar with my work, you'll know that I've depended on Mozilla Hubs for many of my projects these past 5 years. I've been creating on the platform since it first became available to the public. Hubs has been my favorite content creation platform to date. It's got the easiest workflow for 3D artists that use Blender, thanks to its dedicated (and very powerful) Blender addon. No other social 3D / VR / webXR platform has come close to Hubs in terms of ease of use, flexibility, and artist-friendliness for me. It truly is a special piece of tech. I even used it with great success last year to showcase artwork created by my 3D art students, a gallery that will now be going offline as well.

Because of all that, news of it shutting down has hit me pretty hard. A lot of my publicly available online VR worlds are now slated to disappear in the near future. Although Hubs is open source and its code will still remain available for many years to come for anyone who wants to self-host it, that just isn't possible for me. I don't make money from my VR projects (making them purely out of love for the hobby and/or source material), and I basically live paycheck to paycheck. I did attempt Patreon a few years back, but it sadly never took off.

So I guess this is my announcement that my VR worlds, too, are going to go offline within the next year. Please enjoy them while you can. 🥹

I want to end this post with a massive thank you to the Hubs team for all their effort on this wonderful platform. They not only created something magical, but they selflessly shared it openly and for free with the whole world when any other company would have nickel-and-dimed their users in every way they could. Hubs was a blast to use and create on these past 5 years for me, and the team should still feel extremely proud of what they accomplished on it.

I started playing around with AI song covers tonight. Of course, whenever I'm trying a new tech or tool, I always test it on PSO stuff first. So here's AI Christina Aguilera singing part of World With Me, the ending theme of Phantasy Star Online Episode 2.
