Tentacles
Archive: 8 posts
| I want to create a monster with tentacles that will move about, killing sackboy if they touch him while he's jumping around the platforms around about. Problem is, I can't get the tentacles to move in the way I want. I've tried constructing them in the "rope" style, by stringing together oval shaped sections with thin sections and bolts, but they're too fragile and always break. Basically I want them to move loosely, lunging at the platforms from time to time. Pistons make them move too linearly and winches aren't precise enough. Can anyone give me tips on how to make and animate cool tentacles? I've been at it for days! Oh, I drew you a picture. It might help. Though probably not. http://i26.tinypic.com/347ejde.jpg | 2009-09-12 20:24:00 Author: FlowersInHisHair  Posts: 126 |
| ignore my last tip. create small section of gas to make flexible tentacles but connect them to each other using swivel bolts. connect a chain to the tip of the tentacle and make the chain cross the platform you wish for it to jab. Set the swivel bolts to a weak strength so they allow the winch to pull them | 2009-09-12 20:56:00 Author: Chuk_Chuk  Posts: 108 |
| What you're trying to do is REALLY complicated. Aside from the rope style, i'm not sure theres really much i can reccomend =/ You may wish to check out RTM223's Subteranean Setback level- he animates a tentacle in part of it, and if what you're looking for is somewhat similar he may be able to help you out. | 2009-09-12 21:06:00 Author: Burnvictim42  Posts: 3322 |
| Check out the boss at the end of Wexfordian's "Snakes On A Dame" and the monster in GrantosUK's level "Mars Attacks II: Dropship Down". | 2009-09-12 21:43:00 Author: BSprague  Posts: 2325 |
| Thanks for the advice guys, lots of things to try out there! I didn't even notice the octopus tentacle object - that might be just the thing I'm looking for - but I'll check out all the ideas, and I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks so much. | 2009-09-12 22:33:00 Author: FlowersInHisHair Posts: 126 |
Snakes on a Dame is absolutely blinding. What a level! I can't quite see how the snakes on Medusa are jointed though... I'll send Wex a message  | 2009-09-12 23:02:00 Author: FlowersInHisHair Posts: 126 |
I was working on a big kraken fight a while ago, I did use the premade tentacels from MM and I attached 2 winches on each tentacel and just tryed some lengths and speeds out and it moved exactly how I wanted it  If you want to see it please PM so i can unlock the level. | 2009-09-13 08:46:00 Author: Kn0cked-0ut  Posts: 562 |
| My tips: Use the snake object and correct stickers. You stick (and hide by any way) the head, and you use pistons to move them. Very effective. There is something like this in My "The bearer Pat IV: The Depths" (the montster of the Moria's mines). Take a look to it to see how it is functionning....
