How would you model a Jellyfish (oral arms)

[Zeddicus]

Model them as if they are a solid form, then create a translucent material for it? That might look alright with the right lighting setup. If you have an example photo, you should post it so folks can get a better idea of what you're after.

Hello Zedidcus, thank you for your suggestion. This is my first post in CGSociety, i am pretty sure i attached a reference photo but it didnt show up.

Anyway have a look at this reference image

Then have a look at my Jellyfish

Simulation is done using Ncloth and Hair Curve Dynamics.
The only thing lacking is the aesthetics.

I manage to do the oral arms by creating a pcylinder and transform the component with a random value of 1.0
