Asset Overview
I must say, I love the cake-shaped Birthday Hat from Animal Crossing: New Horizons. This is a fixed, smoothened version of the model from the game, with all three colors (blue, orange, and pink). All three hats are spaced out so you can focus the camera on one and not have it clip through the others.
The model had a lot of split seams that made the subdivision surface modifier deform the model, so I manually merged the duplicate vertices on all parts of the model then applied that modifier to most of the cake. The candle flames were smoothened using Offset Edge Slide, keeping that flat, fake look.
As this is a modified version of a ripped model from a game, *I didn't make the original model* (as I'd be ashamed of all of the weird seams if I were). Additionally, that's why the license is CC-BY-**NC**. Feel free to use this model, as I spent today fixing it in Blender. You can give me credit if you'd like, but Nintendo's definitely needs credit.
