I know a lot of people want to see more of this one so I'm starting work on it again. Sorry I didn't post last week, this animation has been very, very complex and quite stressful! I think it was worth it, however, because I'm very happy with the result. Also sorry that it's so short! I'm working on making a loop right now.
The tentacle movement is starting to feel more natural. It's been an interesting problem to tackle, because a lot the difficulty was in figuring out where the 'driving force' comes from. For example, you flex your bicep, your forearm pulls up and moves the hand. The bicep is the driving force. Or you can flex your shoulder, and it moves in a different way. But where is the 'muscle' for a tentacle? Well it seems like it can be anywhere, depending on how much of the tentacle needs to move. The more tentacle that needs to be pushed or pulled, the further down the line the muscle needs to flex. Just some thoughts I've been having while I work on this.
Anyways I'm done yapping about tentacles, hope you're doing good in this crazy world, stay safe and see ya soon ;)
