I thought there might be an analytical solution to managing the tentacle slack.

Inch worm attaching and detaching is working but the slack is misbehaving.

A bit of refactoring to help wrap my brain around the inch worm maneouvre.

Breaking up the problem of the inchworm into manageable chunks.

Ginger first steps in getting the tentacle to perform an inch worm maneouvre.

While the lower segments are still rotating to face the first target, upper segments can start rotating toward a new target.

Triggering the three phases of the tentacle walk as the tentacle base is moved.

A nice comparison between simple IK and CCD IK. The first animation of the entire walk loop.

Changing the direction of the curve of the tentacle slack.

When the tentacle base moves too far from the surface, the tentacle detaches segments one at a time.
