A ZIPped tutorial file. Simply unzip into an empty folder and run "index.html"

Focuses on a simple way to model and duplicate an animatable tentacle. The screenshot is the final image, however materials and post processing, while discussed, are not step-by-step the way the modelling phase is. There should be some good information in here for the beginner-to-moderately experienced. This technique works fine with most 3d applications.

Enjoy, and if it's of use please comment on it.

Available for repost on the web, but only in it's unaltered form and WITH PERMISSION, please!

... I love the steps involved, and this tutorial is well-thought-out by someone that can actually spell and write in complete sentences... :D (Big Grin)

... I figured you were just going to show a loft, but instead you taught me a process I hadnt' seen before, and gave me a glimpse into the legendary Max 5 (I'd never seen the XY curves in the Materials Editor before... pretty swanky!)...

... thanks for sharing this... some great shortcuts in this tutorial...
WTF?!?!
i spent 1 hour doing that shit in 3dsmax, and when i was at that step of the hedra u did not explain anything! u only said that u bend it, and used lights and mesh smooth!
but how iqm going to put the tents with the hedra together!??!?!
