Frequently Asked Questions

Q: "How do I texture the tail?" A: "Using your favorite image editor, preferably one that can retain transparency of PNGs. If you are having a hard time understanding how to texture, treat this similar to editing a minecraft skin!"

Q: "How do I add fins/change the size of the tail?" A: "Figura uses Blockbench for its avatar models, I recommend looking up a tutorial on using blockbench, however, I recommend looking into learning how to make flat planes.

Q: "My emissive/glowing texture isn't working/working incorrectly!" A: "Make sure the emissive texture of choice <Texture Name>_e.png has the part you want glowing. If the tail isnt glowing correctly, add the new/modified part to the GlowingTail.lua script's glowPart table. Follow model indexing patterns!

Q: "How do I modify the animations?" A: "This Avatar uses Blockbench for its animations, however, most use a custom lua based molang with a tick based timer for its sine waves. If you do not understand sinewaves, try messing with the values around the sine equations!"

Q: "Why does x part/feature exist?" A: "Various parts/features exist for the sake of streamlined customizeability. If you feel that a feature is not needed, removing it should be easy, but will most likely result in a script error. Deleting associated code should fix the issue."
