what's wrong with my rig setup? I'm following this tutorial

and this is the state right before clicking "generate rig" (cunny warning)

but it always fails with "Bone Heat Weighting: failed to find solution for one or more bones", I've tried joining all meshes together, and it also fails maybe the topology is too messy? I went a bit wild trying to add detail, it's my first time doing this sort of thing

You're done! Auto weighting occasionally has trouble with meshes that are dense in world space, scaling takes care of it.
I'd also reset the mesh to world origin pivot before doing it, though, will likely get rid of some other bugs
