there is a discussion of tentacle rigging with several ideas proposed here...

Here is an example I did long ago that uses the path constraint to place bones along a spline. Then you just animate the points of the spline. TentacleSplineRingPath04.zip TentaclePathB.mp4

Something as long as a tentacle will need more than just the end control If you are familiar with TSM2, that will do "tails" and you can have as many tails as you want.

that works much better!

That doesn't soudnd familiar. Do you still need to rig the legs?

I think if you turn down the particle velocity, the bubble will be a bit more bubbly. Your fish project is still in your other thread, isn't it?

Simon, if you are interested, at LIve Answer Time today we went through the process of building the double FK spine into your butterbox model You can watch that on YouTube at... https://youtu.be/EdH_tbghzU0

That is something to ask Jason.

This came out of a discussion with Simon Edmondson and David Simmons at Live Answer time...

An image sprite with a little circular bubble would probably work well.

Here is what I think is a better solution, with a variation of an IK spine. Look in your messages for the PRJ clip4458SimonsButterFlip1K.mp4

Here is a test implementation of David Simmons' suggestion of a spine switch. It's fussier to create than using a premade rig but once it works it does make for a better controlled spine... tubeFlip000.mp4

I got the TSM2 spine that i was trying yesterday at LAT to behave. Basically this is animation of a pelvis bone and a torso bone to get the flips going, The interpolation of the IK spine isn't as smooth as I hoped so i will look into other solutions. ButterFlip_12.mp4

Close enough! 🙂

That was cute! The client should be pleased!

This would be dramatically simpler to diagnose if i could see it. Can you come to Live Answer Time tomorrow?

I never get service like that at the emergency room or even the semi-ergency room. Once I dropped a power drill into my knee and the bleeding wouldn't stop so I thought, "maybe someone should look at this?" But when i describe my problem to the receptionist she just glares at me and scolds, "THIS... is an EMERGENCY room!" It's not like the place was busy, either. So I went home and stuck it back together with duct tape and left that on for about two weeks. Did you try duct tape for your UTI?

That looks great Paul!

You should have brought this to live answer time today. We were talking about streaks!
