Hey there ;) I need to make a sort of alien looking environment (room, corridors etc) with "goo" and strings from the ceiling to the floor, and goo should be all over the floor aswell. What would be the best way to achieve this? The "goo" or, the slime, yeah, slime is a good word, need to be like it came from the ceiling but over the days it kinda slowly made it's way towards the floor and spread out there...maybe the goo stained/hardened also. I was thinking just start with a 4X4 small plane and chamfer the centerpoint, and start to extrude edges downwards, until i reach the floor, and then extrude ON the floor, and try to make more and more slimy strings, going back and forth (ceiling>floor>floor>ceiling) and up against the walls. This is VERY organic, hence my post, as I haven't done anything like this, although I think I got a clue.
Let me know if it's unclear, and I'll try to explain better. I'll try to find a reference image also, if possible.
PS: At work now and can't test it, but is there a way of making the goo stuck to the ceiling, and have reactor softbodies on the mesh, and make it...sort of get that "hanging" look...Hmmm..Have to try it out.
Thanks in advance / Tobey
