because I've been looking for Ganondorf's unicorn in the game files and I can't find anything (trimmed)

so much work for one gazebo, from HW AoC... now to figure out how to submit models to archive (if there is interest in AoC content)
edit:
also did two more, tho I'm only 90% sure I matched textures correctly


but it's great to at least have mostly right lab from AoC (I'm not sure about some woods and columns, as this place is only in cutscenes)
oh and a random house bc why not

as long as it's only one axis of rotation, the placements is perfect, I go into the game and checked and it looks about right, but more than one and it's a bit off, (or a lot off) I suspect that both rotation and position are for root bone and with messed armature not much can be done, at least I can't. So no map of Hateno os springs any time soon :<

I'm curious about how the terrain clipping is handled in the actual game (BotW, or AoC, or TotK). Would you happen to know?
What I mean is that you can see from your pic here that the terrain heightmap mesh clips through the cliffs (which I assume were separately modeled by hand by some artist). But from what I remember in the game, I don't recall seeing the terrain clip so egregiously. I wonder if there is some code in the game that causes the terrain mesh to "meld" together with cliff meshes so they look seamless?
I found an example of what I'm talking about, but its someone creating this mesh melding effect using Unreal Engine: https://imgur.com/gallery/M1nTsoG

I'm curious because I'm trying to do a similar thing, but in Blender. I want to reduce mesh clipping and have more seamless looking terrain.

I've tried linking objects from other Blend files before, but then the linked object is locked to the 0,0,0 origin position, and I can't seem to move the linked objects at all. Do I have to pair it to an empty and move the empty or something?
