with the help of some gentlemans on this forum, i understood how to rotate a 3D object having two points in space. the object is rotated towards a new point.
I thought it was easy, but it wasn't.  Shocked

Nice one - colour them orange and we can have genetically modified carrots.  Cheesy

gotta love starting something you think is gonna be easy, to find out it soaks up sooo much time, but then you finish it anyways. WD  Wink

No, you just need to change the JPG used as the texture.
BTW, i will modify the way it moves. Going to try with attraction/repulsion on every tentacle (now they overlaps) and maybe make her swim and also use attraction/repulsion from the center to keep the tentacles away form the center.

For the moment it moves because of continuous negative_and_positive gravity on the x axis for every tentacle and a negative gravity on the y axis to keep them straight. Another simple but effective trick in creating springs is to make the farthest particle of the spring the heavier.

Is it hard? I 'd like to try creating one myself, I just need to finish something, I know it eats up time.

Good job though  Cool
