Handling the attached tentacle segments is hard. Adding some visual debugging.

Once tentacle segments have attached to a surface, how should the rest of the arm move?

Making the model for the tentacle segments a little smarter.

What’s next after the tentacle can attach to a surface?

First attempts at having the tentacle touch a surface.

Starting from the base, point tentacle segments at the target one at a time.

Adding tentacle constraints doesn’t improve the behaviour.

What if I start with IK to generate a solution then, separately, animate to that solution.

What did you do today? I watched octopus videos.

Wherein the struggle of implementing cyclic coordinate descent can only be overcome with the help of some visual debugging.
