14 - Tentacle Ecology 2 - v8 (Patreon)

Including 144 Assets, 1 DEMO Scene, 1 Plugin, and 147 CUA Presets.

Model Parameters:

The models in the asset bundle use 4K textures, with AO, roughness, and normal maps at 2K resolution.

The base model polygon count ranges from 3,000 to 6,000.

Instructions:

You can use the included DEMO scene to see which plugins are referenced by the model and what the correct plugin configuration should look like.

Add a CustomUnityAsset (CUA).

Load the asset bundle’s *.assetbundle file via the CustomUnityAsset, or directly load an asset preset from the Preset page. If you use the preset loading method, you can skip steps 3–5. If the asset does not appear after loading the preset, try reloading the preset once.

Add the included plugin "Tentacle_Anime_Controller.cs" to the CustomUnityAsset (CUA).

Add another plugin: CUA/XPS Controllers.10 (make sure you are using version 10).

Open the CUA/XPS Controllers UI, find the node in the Root Node whose name contains _Object, and then click Create Controllers to generate the controllers.

Enable Show Inactive Targets to display all inactive atom nodes, and then control the asset’s skeleton joints via these nodes.

Operation Demonstration:

Method A > Load CUA Preset

Method B > Manual Load

Plugin Instructions:

Tentacle_Anime_Controller.cs – This plugin allows you to control and debug property parameters for this asset series. It is the same plugin included in Tentacle Ecology 1.

If you encounter difficulties while using the plugin, you can find some troubleshooting tips at the bottom of the plugin’s description. For any technical issues with the plugin, you can leave a message in this thread.

Model disappears at certain angles:

This is due to Unity’s mechanism: when moving away from the main camera, the model will be culled automatically to reduce performance load. You can prevent this by enabling the "Prevent Disappearance" function in the included plugin. However, this will keep your model always loaded and will increase hardware usage. It’s generally recommended to enable this function only if you occasionally encounter this issue.

Cannot open atom node UI after loading a preset:

Occasionally, the CUA/XPS Controllers plugin may show this issue. Try loading another preset first, then reload your intended preset.
