It's over 3,000! Can you believe it?! Who knew we'd smash our biggest model update record on a random February? The sheer amount of content in this update is due greatly in part to the crazy efforts of the Dazz man himself! In his own words to the crew, "I know I did a lot of the queue for the next update, but please go ahead and post an update - I'm out all day." A big shout-out to Dazz for making this monumental moment possible! There's also been some major QoL updates to our 3D Model Viewer & Editor, while further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the Model Checker experience; more details will be available below. There are a lot of games to cover, so try and bare with me here...

The biggest contribution of the month is Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses, ripped by 3D Mage! Wow, talk about the size of an army – that's enough monsters to take down an entire kingdom! The next set of batches include Action Taimanin (EvZone), Plants vs. Zombies AR Trading Cards (Hailey821), LittleBigPlanet PS Vita (p03_real_account), and an adorable Japan-exclusive game called Tongari Boushi to Oshare na Mahou Tsukai, ripped by Sosigonal! I've always wanted to try this game out, actually. It looks very reminiscent of early Animal Crossing! Speaking of which, we've got a grab-bag of different types of models from games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, a handful of PS3 Ratchet & Clank games, and a bunch of neat little pixelated low-poly items from CloverPit! I'm especially loving those instruments from MIDIJam, too. In the way of introducing tons of characters across multiple universes comes JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Ora Ora Overdrive, Bloons Adventure Time TD, Yo-kai Watch: Wibble Wobble, Dragon Quest Tact, and the 1999 Japan-exclusive Sengoku TURB. Like a certain Bubble once said: we should throw a freakin' beach party! (Actually... no - scratch that. It has been way too cold outside lately.) Oh hey, be sure to check out the custom models as well! My absolute favourite out of the bustling crowd is Nago (Kirby 64 Edit) by CJ310. There can never be enough cat models. And this goes without saying, but there are plenty of more contributions that I couldn't fit in here; please take a look at your leisure!

Submitters, here's a tip from me: have you given Dazz's tSR Tools a proper spin yet? Recently, our 3D Model Viewer & Editor has gotten some pretty nifty updates! Here are the major new things to look out for:

• Generate Icons — This button will export 3 separate images: model_icon.png (148x125), model_large_front.png (750x650), and model_large_side.png (750x650) if you prefer a different angle. Just make sure you've set up the materials how you want first!
• Pose Mode — This feature allows you to select the bones of a rigged model and move them around.
• Joint Test — This button will test the bones of a rigged model for you by moving them all around in a simple loop.
• New Selection Tools — Along with some new buttons, you can now select meshes in the view-port directly instead of having to use the hierarchy list on the left.
• Improvements to DAE compatibility and the entire model analyser system.

These additions are already working wonders to help speed up the model process across the board. Give it a shot if you haven't already!
