As the library has grown, various problems have reared their head. Solving some of those problems is easy, but dedicating time to them has been challenging.


One such problem that has been knawing away at me, is knowing that the library assets may not be completely consistant - perhaps some of the naming feels off or the UVs could do with some tweaking. I could go through each asset one by one, but I was itching to tackle the problem head on.


When I was faced with the reality of creating the site from scratch, it felt like the right time to bite the bullet and dive in head first.


I took a deep breathe, and decided on an approach. I ended up making a MASTER Blender file, imported every asset I've created and got to work renaming things, checking UVs, n-gons etc.


It took a lot of work but I am really happy with where I got to. This also enabled me to make sure similar assets were facing a consistent direction, double check sizing. I don't know why I didn't do this sooner!


The Master file containing all Assets


Side note: If you happen to encounter any issues, please do let me know! Sometimes I don't notice an error until I check it myself, so making me aware really does help!
