Looking for a new Nautolan model.

Post by Voh Phaar »

Hey everyone,
I am currently using Salvoo's model as Voh. ALOT of people have spoken to me about it being really buggy, especially with the headtails at the back. I was wondering if anyone has any... different Nautolan models, or anything that could help me out, it doesn't matter if they're are blue Nautolans or something like that I can easily change it to green.

Many thanks,
Voh.

Ruxith is working on a pretty neat one, but it still may take some time until release:

Otherwise there is a JK2 model on JediMoves, but I'm guessing that's what Salvoo used for his kitbash:

I'm definately keeping that Ruxith model, on my bookmarks. Can't wait for that to be released.

Definitely keeping an eye on this topic!

Unfortunately for us octo-heads, it seems as if the problem is all the Nautolan models (the ones I have found, at the least) all share the same weird tendril issue.

If you wanted I could PM you all the ones I've found so far?

The stretching of the tentacles has to do with the limitations of the JKA animation skeleton/rigging a great deal. I was struggling with the same problem while weighting Ahsoka's headtails. It can be done neater, but it's never perfect.

That being said, the head model used in Salvoo's kitbash has a pretty bad weighting indeed.

That's the general thought I had... Honestly the stretching isn't too bad, I was experimenting and through different poses you can make it slightly better, I suggest the fourth and sixth saber pose, personally.

Let us pray to the Force that Ruxith's model will have better rigging(weighting?)!
