Hello to everyone. I am new member and i wand some help. I make a jellyfish in 3d studio max 10 and now i want to make some move but i want the tentacles to have some crazy movement. I want if anyone knew how to make a cylinder like string or if they exist any tutorial.

Sorry for my English

Thanks
Kostas

use the HOSE object instead of a cylinder and use FFD on it

or...(a better way)

use a point curve (NURBS), and set enable in renderer and enable in viewport, and apply mapping coords.
then simply animate the points.

Thanks but it didn’t work i want the tentacles to move alone when i move the jellyfish
If you see the Video of sensation trailer the jellyfish make a free move that i want.

There is a video tutoliar about how to make those jellyfish but it is from Maya.
The tutoliar call it THE MAKING OF WORMS BY SIL VAN DER WOERD

hmm - try using the nurbs method... but i feel that what you want may have to be done with some scripting!!!

[kostas_par]

If you can explain how to doit because i dont knew the programme and technic very well

[dugdiamond]

doing the tentacles/strands as explained in my 2nd thread isn't that hard to do.

if you cannot do that, then i suggest getting hold of max2010 fundamentals (which can be found on here), and learning a bit more before attempting your project

[kostas_par]

ok I go to learn more about the programme because i started a year before and the programme is very complicated
Thanks

You could try to use a pathdeform modifier on a cylinder and animate the spline

[kostas_par]

Thanks very i would try it

its alot easier to use cloth simulation and skinwrap the tenticle to the a plane like the example animted GIF i attached, sorry for the poor image quality. click on image to see the animation

[kostas_par]

Thanks for advise but i need some informatio about thise you made in video. I make a plene and make it cloth. I want you to tell me how you ,ake the green point (who they move the plane )

See the flex modifier examples. There is jellyfish.max demo there too.
