    hey!

    i want to animate an tentacle out of an jeans-pocket! is there a way to let the tentacle look like liquid or flexible or something like that (the footage is a drawing (psd) ) is there a effect to act the tentacle like a felxible paper (with backside)?

    thx for help!

    decent tutorial on it

    Or do some parenting to different parts of the tentacle….the more parts the less blocky it’ll look….

    Make an IK chain, then avoid keyframing it by giving it some random motion. I did the creepy legs poking out of the hole in this way here

    I know it’s so short it wouldn’t have taken much to hand animate the whole thing, but I just wanted to try an IK chain that generated it own motion.
