Description
On a whim, I tried making a Bryce poseable tentacle and it worked. Made a poseable chain a few years ago and using the same linking process. Also made a poseable metaball character in a similar way.
2 metaballs and 2 suckers made from cones were grouped and "show origin handle" is clicked on, in Attributes. The green pivot point was moved to the edge of the grouped unit. Each group was linked to the next one, small to large. Once linked, you highlight a few groups and using the rotate control, you get real nice curves. To move the thing, highlight the largest group and drag it. The others follow.
Once the form is to your liking, ungroup and unlink everything and the metaballs blend together into a fine creepy tentacle.
