ok well unfortunately I am Extremely struggling with getting the handles to work without making the weight painting impossible
what if you painted the handles on as a texture and kept the actual handle models under the surface/invisible separately when they're not extended? it wouldn't be quite as cool but i feel like it'd be easier to get working
it might work but it wouldn't be quite how I imagine them, there should be a gap underneath that they collapse into which should be visible when they're popped out, and also if they were painted on as well as being geometry, if the painted on version deformed different than the geometry version it would look weird when they were popped out
Idk I gotta think about it / maybe redo the whole leg geometry to make that area able to deform better
yeahh, that makes sense
i hope you can figure it out <3 i love the concept so much
