A model I did a long time ago for a project that never got wrapped up. I’ll still be using it for an upcoming project, as a bad guy. As all models for that project will be getting released as part of the project, might as well get started with this one. See how this goes, I would like to release more models, but I’m not sure people will like my construction of them.
These guys were intended to “bobble” about in groups like jellyfish, casually moving but grabbing up all they could with their tentacles. The model is fully rigged and contrained, however, the rig is a bit rough and the IK spline doesn’t always update as you move the armature target points, but if you tab into the mesh and back out it will update. The boxes for each of the legs is a switch from the tentacles stretching to the target vs. not stretching.
Was packaged with Blender r37625, so apologies if it doesn’t work proper on older versions… just have to wait for a new release of Blender if that is the case, sorry.
You can do anything you want with this model. The thrill for me is to see how it’s been used, so if you like, drop a link back here and share, I would greatly appreciate it.
