that's really cool! (must have been hell to do!)

@TheCarolqn Thank You :) !  Making just the rig (used CAT with 3ds Max) & the animation was pretty easy. Making the mesh, UV'ing it, & skinning it ( different video ) took a little more work (but still not bad). Glad you like it!

@timothyfravashi, Thank you :) !  I created it using the CAT plugin for 3ds Max, which uses procedural animation. CAT does a great job looping animations too.

Awesome, but what is the Octopus doing?

[joshpurple]

@DrawWithLaura , Thank You and good question. Dancing to the song, "Octopus's Garden" in the sea :) ?

Well, more accurately, the octopus is pretty much just flailing it's tentacles about in a random pattern :D .

[timothyfravashi]

Very cool animation... I'm curious how you created such organic motion for the tentacles... Did you keyframe it or use something procedural???
