Does it flex? Or is it a stiff model like I suspect. But even if it was its too thick

I know this thread's about half a year old, but if you're still wanting to make a Super Saiyan 2/3 aura, the electric bolt model by Phobias will work. You just need to shrink it with the scale control and thicken it back out with the Thicken/Outline flex to make it the right size, then mess around the 50 bolt bones to shape in into the SSJ2/3 lightning. If you plan to animate it, I recommend surrounding the model with 5-7 bolts and using the Thicken/Outline flex to make the electricity fade in/out like in the show and games.

I also recommend setting the slider range for the scale control to Min: 0.010 and Max: 1.000. This should help you get it to just the right size so that the minimum outline thickness will make it nearly invisible.

Let me know if I've explained it poorly, and I'll try again.

Sounds hard...

Not really hard, just tedious. But I'm gonna try to make an "animation" out of just one bolt and see if I can upload it on here so you and others can easily make a convincing SSJ2/3 aura. I've already got the size and thickness right, I just need to finish messing with the rest of the bolt bones. If it works, I'll let you know via this thread.

I've uploaded the "animation". Further instructions are in the description for it. You still have to do a bit of work, but I've saved you the hassle of moving 50 bones around, at least.

Yeah I just saw it! Now if I can just make a ultra instinct particle effect i'd be all set. I've seen similar effects done with the halloween unusual effects this year. Seeing that made me realize it IS possible. But there's no tutorials for making particles from scratch
