I’m looking for some advice on a suitable covering for slip cases.

I’ve used black cloth, which created a nice finish, but makes the case difficult to slide onto a shelf when part of a set as it’s quite rough. I’ve come to the conclusion that cloth makes a better book covering than slipcase covering.

I’m looking for a paper similar to that used by by hardback books with paper covered boards, but not sure what it’s called. The paper has a linen like texture and subtle satin finish. Probably used to mimic cloth on cheaper books.

It would need to be A3 size, black and ideally suitable for embossing.

Does anybody know what I’m trying to describe and how I can order it, or what I should searc

For context; I'm using ScriptableObjects to describe inventory objects in an RPG. Each object has a variety of stats, plus an icon which will be a Texture for use in a RawImage.

There will be hundreds of these Item ScriptableObjects.

I can attach the icon image directly to the ScriptableObject (as a Texture property), or indirectly as a string property (or just name the PNG files the same as the related item name/id) for asynchronously loading as required.

Is it good practice to make the textures files (which are PNGs) addressable assets and asynchronously load them as required, or just loading the asset as required, or does none of this matter as Unity has some intelligent resource manag

Hopefully a quick question, but I’ve not been able to find a definitive answer via searching.

For a UI canvas which is scaled to screen size, does the reference resolution matter?

By default it’s set as 800 x 600. Does this just affect screen space and relative sizes? Should I target a more current resolution (full HD).

I’m guessing it has no effect on the rendered output, but as it’s a fiddle to update busy UI to new reference resolutions, I’d rather not redo later…

Probably a basic question, or maybe something tricky in unity which is easier done in blender, etc.

I'm trying to texture a stone block arch for a door frame (the sort of arch which is made from individual stones with a key stone at the top of the curve). I've created the arch using two upright sides (cubes) with the arch at the top (using boolean subtraction of two cylenders, then cut in half). So I have a 3 dimenional rainbow sitting on top of the two uprights.

The problem I have is texturing it as it is treated as three cubes.

I'm not even sure what to search for as I'm not sure how to articulate the problem, and I may be approaching the problem in the wrong way...

Am I even making se

Question: Can other classes (such as fighter) use kirijutsu if they have they skill from a previous class?

I know you can continue to improve it by investiging points at level up, but does the character actually make use of the skill if they are not currently a Samurai or Ninja?

Just noticed that the pre-order Fallout XBOX controller is for the pip-boy 3000 (as used in Fallout 3 and NV) rather than the mark IV used in Fallout 4.

Model number is displayed on the left handle and the actual pip-boy status screen is from Fallout 3, not 4 or 76.

Any devs who currently use AI who can offer some initial guidance in regard to where to start?

As an initial experiment, I’m interested in using something to assist with code reviews which can integrate with Gitlab.

Ultimately, I would like to research on how to integrate AI tech within my team in a way which my devs do not feel threatened. Maybe as an AI paired programmer during TDD exercises.

Also, literature. Any recommendations from anyone regarding books which can get me up to speed in understanding the principles of applying LLMs and the tools? I’m not planning on developing my own, but would like to understand the principles enough to make intelligent decisions in it’s implementati

Nosferatu has just had a collectors edition announced (I'm in the UK, but probably available elsewhere).

I have noticed a trend with studio (i.e. non-boutique) brands charging upward of £50 for essentially the same thing that the boutique brands offer for £30. The only exception is they typically include a steelbook, whilst will increase the price does not justify the difference (especially for those who do not want a steel).

The Nosferatu collectors edition from Universal includes a rigid slipcase, art cards, poster and booklet (plus the steel book) for £55 (that's the lowest price, other retailers are charging more).

Arrow Video offer the same package for their limited collectors editio
