Tentacles

3D max 2016 > Not works
3D max 2017 > Not works
3D max 2018 > Works But with some Bugs (only interface bug)

Hi there,
The script is tested by multiple people for 2016 and 2017. 99% of the complains I received in the past was from people who didn't give administrator rights to 3ds Max. Set 3ds Max to have Administrator rights and it should fix any problems. I had a couple of people with some interface issues which I fixed a long time ago. So make sure you don't use an older downloaded version. I will try to test it with 2018 and I find any issues, I will try fix them (hopefully next week).
Thanks,
Nick

Hi 3dstudio, I just tested it and apparently the problem is that I had a wrong path in the scriptspot pointing to an older version of the tool. I just updated it so you can re-download and it should work fine.
Thanks,
Nick

Sinok, I just registered to say thanks.. I've spent the whole past night messing and pulling my hair while trying to skin and set up a bone by bone animation using physics, skin, tried everything... Was an utterfail, low quality motion and all sort of weird artifacts and random crashes due the improper use of all the mess... Felt asleep at 06:00 am. over the keyboard. Now I have the whole monster set up in 20 minutes with superb motion quality and control and now the focus goes to the integration... Thanks to you. Thank you so so much Sinok, you are the man!

- Best regards.

I'm really glad c4k31337 that my script helped you! :D When you have the final result, I would love to see the script in action.

Warm regards,
Nick

Thank you again Nick!

This is a didactic animation for a project using gene-modified e.coli bacterias embedded in modified grass that react to the presence of critical amounts of co2 and produce a colored-coded alarm; the project is an early bio-alarm of low quality air conditions in city scale zones, monitoreable via satellite. The modified grass will provide increased amounts of oxigen, too. :D

It sounds great -- eventhough I'm not at all familiar with biology/chemistry etc hahah! :D
Thank you very much for your reply and for posting your work!! I really appreciate it! :)

Hello sinok, I was wondering if your script worked for 3ds max 2010? I've installed it, but recieve "--Runtime Error: Copy error on file: C;/Program Files/Autodesk/3ds max 2010/UI/Icons,sinok.gr_16.bmp" Any idea on what I'm doing wrong?

Your current setup probably don't gives max administration rights to copy the files to the apropriate directories.

So please try to open max with "Run as Administrator" and install the script again. If the problem continues then try to copy the files manually.

To access the files rename "tentacles.mzp" to "tentacles.zip" and extract the files.

Copy the two images (sinok.gr_16i.bmp and sinok.gr_24i.bmp) to C:/Program Files/Autodesk/3ds max 2010/UI/ and the tentacles.ms to C:/Program Files/Autodesk/3ds max 2010/scripts.

Open max, click the icon and the script will eventually work.

Is there any place the script can be downloaded - the temp site is dead :(

Thanks for the script, it has been a huge help on a personal project.

If you could please email it to jokenadrian@yahoo.com
Thanks

I'd like to use this script for a project I'm working on... but the link seems to be dead. Can it run in Max 2011/2012... and/or is there an alternative script that anyone knows to help quickly rig tentacles?

thanx

My pleasure :D

THANK YOU!!!! .

hehehe my pleasure. I've saw that you were looking for a tentacle system.. Is that ok with you?

i need this script it's impossible to download it ! anyone could send it to me?? it's very important..

sorry for the delayed answer.. please check my temp site for more.. http://www.sinok.gr/temp/#scripts

Orry but I don't have Max8 installed.. Can you please tell me what's the problem?

Well, I have Max 8 and this is what happens when I try to run this script.

First I place the file in my userscript directory. Then from Max I select run script. When I select run script I get the following error:

--Unknown property: "reInitIcons" in

And then nothing. My max just goes on but no tentacles.

ahh ok.. please send me an e-mail

Ohh Baby! This updated version works fantastic in Max version 8. Thanks a bunch. This script is super cool. Thanks a bunch.

Can you make this script work for Max Version 8? If so that would be really cool.

A good looking script but cant seem to get it to work with 3dsmax 2010 64bit..

I have assembled a script which makes tentacles even more fun! :)

Screenshots of your powerful script coming soon ...

to me this is the most amazing script i have seen! such lovely organic movements i would have never eveer been able to make, just becuase it would have taken thousand keyframes and a million headaches!

if i could give you 100points i would!

i will show you what i do with it next month :)

greetings
ian
