Long-Story-Short, I’m trying to create a “tentacle” for a costume I’m making, I want it to be attached to me and somehow control it subtly. I just don’t know how to go about this, so I’m looking around for tips. I really know nothing so really basic and detailed is best?
Thank you for your help :3 (also apologies for anything I’m doing wrong this is my first time on this site)
Take a look at what’s done in animatronics to make tentacles. They almost all use a similar design of cables:
You’ll find others have been able to use cardboard and string with this approach too.
Choose one you want to pursue, ensure you get motors which are powerful enough (make it all as lightweight as possible) and ensure you can control each motor. You can then worry about more complex control.
