Description

On a whim, I tried making a Bryce poseable tentacle and it worked. Made a poseable chain a few years ago and using the same linking process. Also made a poseable metaball character in a similar way. 2 metaballs and 2 suckers made from cones were grouped and "show origin handle" is clicked on, in Attributes. The green pivot point was moved to the edge of the grouped unit. Each group was linked to the next one, small to large. Once linked, you highlight a few groups and using the rotate control, you get real nice curves. To move the thing, highlight the largest group and drag it. The others follow. Once the form is to your liking, ungroup and unlink everything and the metaballs blend together into a fine creepy tentacle.

Yes, thank you for the tips! This would not have occurred to me and the results are very nice indeed! (Some of it is your excellent texturing--and humor;-)

Bravo, you should do a step-by-step tut and post it under tutorials. Great model and image. Now if you could just explain how you came about your boundless imagination...
