Hey! Thank you very much for the tuto! :) But I encounter an issue! I have created my tentacle model with others ytb tutorials but I encouter the same issue with the tentacle download on the sketchfab... Indeed when I set the object's parenting "with automatic weights" on the tentacle, an error message is displayed, saying this : "Bone Heat Weighting : failed to find solution for one or more bones" So I would like to find the solution but I didn't succeed... Maybe by aplying a modifier on the tentacle ? I saw on your tutorial that you have applied a modifie, isn't it?

Hello, I did as in this video and it worked. However, there were fractures in one or two parts of the octopus arms. So when the arms are in motion, everything should be oval or round normally. How can we solve this. By the way, even if I corrected it a little with the loopcut feature, it didn't quite fix it.

@TopsyTriceratops 11 ай бұрын

One question I can't seem to find an answer to is, can you put a limit on how far a control bone can go? For example, if you don't want to pull a controller or aiming bone too far to make the mesh snap straight in any segment. I come across that a lot, and I have no idea how to make a general "bubble" in which that specific bone can go so there's no segment snapping.

If by segmenting you mean further subdividing them, not at all! The only implication would be possibly decreased performance as bones controlling a high density mesh can be heavy on your CPU. -Chunck :)

Well, I'm working on an Octopus character. I tried this, and it doesn't work. I get this error message: " Bone Heat Weighting: Failed to find solution for one or more bones. " Any idea what would cause this? My entire mesh has been Boolean Unioned, including the suckers on the tentacles. The only separate part is the beak, and it's not parented to the main body yet. I've tried merging vectors by distance to eliminate unnecessary vertices. I've also decimate the mesh. Still get the error. I'm at my wits end and about to give up and move on to the next project.
