Love this! I've long wanted to make an experience filled with these. Am sure you know of it already but Novelty Automaton is worth a visit too for a similar feel. www.novelty-automation.com

Glad you found a solution. I’ll look into the dithered transparency thing as curious now! Shader graph is definitely worth a play too, even just to setup some simple custom shaders with the options you need.

Definitely a frustrating issue with the default URP shaders. I found a way to make it sort when attempting a foliage shader though - think the depth part on the graph inspector here shows the setting but I'm a little out of my depth(!) with why it seems to work.

Thanks for sharing! Fascinating to see what techniques you’re using to keep it all looking so pretty and running like a dream. So from that it seems you’re choosing to render with SRP rather than URP. Interesting!

Congrats! Fascinated to know more about this if you ever share details outside of GDC.

They’re such a pain! Bakery and its Light Volume solution was a life changer for me. Takes the pain away with some shader tweaks plus you gain some great semi-fake shadows.

Great news Paul! Hope all goes well and you settle in OK.

Came down to cost! Taking a while to break my muscle memory with the navigation/shortcuts/tools but I can appreciate how much fresher Blender feels. Missing Maya’s UV tools though. Blender’s don’t make sense to me yet.

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke is a perfect example of this. You follow the explorations of the narrator as they unravel a mystery of a wonderous building - all written in diary entry form. Like unravelling someone's dream.

The Under Presents still stands as a great example of what an immersive virtual world can be. Transference - my first time being terrified in VR. Also Blocked In and the dioramas of Daniel Ernst are wonderful places to just be inside.
