Here is a quick - although 3 hours isn't that quick - test of a little octopus. Little oc needs some work for the model, but the ik is working! I duplicated arms, and bones, then spun the bones and made more bones, worked the 0,90,180,270 and spun it, then agian. The ik worked okay to just assign... then I assigned constraints so it wouldn't twist, although they do twist in real life... again, want to keep simple. I'm ready for a more complex model. Thank for the help.

Never Give Up!
