Use the Puppet Position Tool to place pins along a straight tentacle illustration.
Draw a rough sketch or use a 3D room model as a reference to establish perspective, as characters moving toward the camera must grow exponentially larger. 2. Modeling and Rigging Tentacles PB HD - Tentacles for anime girl.mp4
For more direct control, use Inverse Kinematics (IK) to drive the entire tentacle chain with a single target controller. 2D Workflow (After Effects) Use the Puppet Position Tool to place pins
Use procedural motor systems to automate the "wavy" idle animation of long tentacle chains. 3. Anime-Specific Animation Techniques Modeling and Rigging Tentacles For more direct control,
Create a mesh (e.g., a cone-shaped cube with many loop cuts) and apply a Curve Modifier . This allows the tentacle to slide and deform along a path, which is often smoother than using an armature.
