That's a demonstration video for a script that I wrote. You can create a tentacle procedural motion. Select the parent bone, click the tentacles' script icon and have fun.

    nice 1!
    it would be nice to have a spring variable on it, to have wiggle without keying frames like crazy.....uh..and collision detection for 1 parent bone with multiple tentacles...i wish...common, how hard can it be? kiddin'..great job.
  • Nick Moutafis 3 years ago
    You can add the spring controller without any problem. As far for the collision part.. It needs a bit of work but it's in my plans for next update. It won't be very soon cause I have some other plans for miscellaneous scripts.

    Thanks for your reply :D

    Getting this error when I try to Run the script:
    -- Runtime error: Copy error on file: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2010\UI\Icons\sinok.gr_16i.bmp
    Any thoughts?
  • Nick Moutafis 1 year ago
    Do you use Windows Vista or Windows 7? If yes, make sure you have Administrator rights.

    Hi Nick, the page seams to be down! Any chance to get that script somewhere else? or can you email it to me?

    Thanks in advance,
    Anselm
  • Nick Moutafis 1 month ago
    Hey Anselm, sorry for that. Try this link sinok.gr/temp/#scripts. Its a temp version of my site as I'm trying to reconstruct it. (in the latests version of 3ds max I have noticed a small display issue with the spinners. If that's a problem for u send me an email at sinokgr@yahoo.com and I'll try to fix it asap)

    Thanks

    How did you create the tentacles? would this be possible with a primitive shape rigged with a bone to it?
  • Nick Moutafis 1 month ago
    This is a demo of a script I wrote. I'm not quite sure if I understood what's your question. If you're asking if the script support other primitives linked into parent/child chain then yes. It's not restricted to bones.

    Thanks
