Commented on Adventure Starter Melee creation

Hi there!

The dagger is looking pretty simple, but i believe it is the goal here, so, good job! Nice to see that it has material maps :)

I know i said this before, but just to have it in writing here: we have some very short melee weapons, Short Steel, Long Reach, Verdant Cutlass, Short-Hafted Hammer and so on, but they the the exception, not the rule. The VFX auras do not get scaled up or down to a model, so everything that is smaller than expected dimensions would look a bit 'broken'. It is also harder to tell the range of melee attacks when a weapon is much smaller than expected.

Im going to Approve this one, but if you were to make more short-weapons - please make sure that they are not only short but also unique in their appearance and theme.

I would advise against posting more than 3-5 short melee weapons. Shorter than usual staves and guns work ok, bows get a bit weird if they are smaller but could still work, while spears always have to use a full length of 45 because of animations that spears are used in.
