Pro-Tips & Production Notes for Blender Users

• Viewport Performance Optimization: To guarantee real-time viewport playback, high-density hair, fur, and instanced feather systems on characters (such as the Otter, Walrus, and Penguin) are set to hidden by default. They will automatically render at maximum fidelity when hitting Render. Toggle the particle display button if you wish to see them in the viewport.

• Otter Fur Coloration: The Otter asset utilizes custom Vertex Color data embedded directly within the project mesh to drive seamlessly blended fur variations. Do not clear the vertex colors to maintain visual accuracy.

• Penguin Scaling Workaround: Due to Blender's native SurfaceDeform constraints, scaling the penguin requires a quick workflow: Switch to Armature mode, temporarily turn off CorrectiveSmooth on the belly/back skins, scale the asset using CTR_root, click Unbind then Bind inside the SurfaceDeform modifier, and re-enable your deform controls.

• Easy Coral Polycount Reduction: The coral assets are modeled to support extreme macro cinematic close-ups. If your scene requires them for background set-dressing, you can easily optimize them without losing UV integrity:

  Go to Edit Mode ➔ Select Mesh ➔ Navigate to Clean Up ➔ Choose Decimate Geometry ➔ Adjust the Ratio slider downward to hit your target polycount.
