Tentacle Rig Help

#1

Hi guys!

I’m working on a tentacle and I used IK Spline on the rig

How do i bend this some more?

I want to know how i can give it the extra curls and rotation using more controllers. Not that good yet with rigging so I need all the help there is to achieve what I want. Cheers :smiley:

There are a couple of ways to go about it but the two easiest ways are:

[ol]
[li]You can adding a bend deformer to the curve driving the ik spline to create a rolling effect
[/li][li]You can create a set of fk controls and parent your ikspline controls beneath them.

Hope it helps !

you can also have a resulting chain which is the sum of the ik and fk chain.
