Tentacle Control

Physics, but weirder.

Prototype · JUN 18, 2026

Coiled tentacles rendered like a vintage scientific plate.

A control rig for things that should not have bones, and then did anyway.

Technical notes

  • Verlet chain with a follow-through budget
  • Grab points can pin mid-limb without collapsing the rest
  • Collision is optimistic. Optimism is a design pillar here.

This may feed Neuropaw. It may just be a creature in a jar.
