@OsFortyTwo Heya! Squidnodes creator here. As Ryen said, the QuickHair shader is only designed for the standard tentacle materials, not the fur materials. However, I'm pretty close to cracking the fuzz shaders, so that'll probably form part of the next Squidnodes update. Hope that helped :D

@OsFortyTwo the "quickhair" means the default tentacle hair that octolings/inklings have, not the "fuzzy hair" that the fuzzy octarians/octolings have have.
The way I've found to at least get the layering is using POM nodes (which also I'd recommend using external nodes, as blender doesn't natively support it without a lot of nodes...). I'd recommend looking at the way I set it up on Spoiler:Mr. Grizz (with a combination of Jasper's stuff) for ideas/a base to work on. Just ignore the multimask stuff, as that's exclusive to that model unless there's some vertex coloring, in which case use that instead of the multimask stuff.

Slight update, looks like Squidnodes does have support for the hair, according to the changelog.

@RiffOsci @xAct Squidnodes exists for S2 stuff.....but of course, not 3, as of yet.

I'm rather surprised if the Rival Octolings are as described in these comments, since in prior games they use a variant of the Inkling girl model with their own kit. I'll take a snoop in toolbox.
Regardless, I think the additions are enough to warrant being uploaded.

@RiffOsci I was actually gonna do that, but I have no idea how it works myself. If anyone has an example shader I could probably make a script out of it.

Made me wish that someone created a Blender add-on that can easily convert Splatoon 3's shader files (Like the fuzzy ooze shader) and whatnot to a bunch of nodes, that'll get rid of the painful hours.

Will we get the clothing models riped from sp3 so we don't have to use and edit the sp2 models

How long does it usually take for something on the pending list to get reviewed? Just curious, and I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask

You can click on "Pending Models: #" for the list of pending models, but the models themselves cannot be viewed or downloaded.

is there a way to see pending models?

Just a reply on what i asked on the 2nd soooo will someone be doing the rival octoling set?

@dan1209 i use the dynamic sky addon in blender. its very powerful but I recommend watching a tutorial first though

I got the .smd for one of the animations into blender but it stays grounded instead of jumping in the air like it should. is there a way to fix it or do I need to manually make it do that manually?

Yeah, there is unique hair and pants that are not uploaded here yet. (Fun fact: their shirt also has all the animations used during the story mode cutscenes/idle).

They do have unique hair textures with scars though.

@MLB90 Agent 3 seems to be the player model because there is no dedicated model in the game files. If you have a Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion savegame on your switch, Agent 3 in Splatoon 3 will match the one that you have played.

Would it be possible to create a HDRI like the ones from polyhaven to set the lighting and background in blender as it is in the splatoon city area?

I just realized recently that the old Agent 3 who's now the new captain of the New Squidbeak Splatoon isn't even on the pending list, and it didn't even cross my mind since the game launched. O.O

@Jasper7438 all i heard was that its possible to make a crossover model of the rival octolings and normal octolings
