tentacles!

[rendermaniac]

try converting it the tentacles to a softbodys and play with some dynamic fields on them. You can use particle expressions if you need to.

did you tried the multichain solver ? you need to activate it by

createNode ikMCsolver;


it's the old PA solver and good for that, a little bit unpredictable but if you're carefully animating it works cool

thanks chaps!

I already experimented a little with the particle/softbody option, but i would prefer to have greater control over individual tentacles!!

The IMK Solver sounds interesting - im trying to figure it out.
The online docs dont really give much away!!

Any tips/tutorials anywhere???

Thanks again!!
