growing curves: elephants dream files?

Support Modeling
1

Hi, is there anyone who can post the .blend file of the scene from Elephants Dream (at 7:57) in which Emo mocks Proog and tentacles sprout from behind the walls?

i would really rather not download the huge compressed orange studio .rar files, :eek: so if someone has it and can post it that would be great. i need to learn how to do that effect and i thought I’d pick apart that scene to figure it out. thanks! :slight_smile:

i think you want scene 8 shot 6. it’s 15meg old format, 55meg new; attachment limit size is 1 meg here. sorry. you should be able to find 08_06.blend somewhere…

but in short it’s a bevelled and tapered curve with hooks, about 8, that move and thus make it snake.

thanks for quick reply, but u didnt post anything… :wink:

oh… would it be too much trouble to upload it to a file sharing site? drop.io is a good one, if u have the time. thank you very much!

Here is an example of the technique PapaSmurf describes, but it is not the exact file from ED.

Atom: thanks, was that from this tutorial?http://www.blendernation.com/two-quick-and-cool-video-tutorials/ :wink:
its good to have a blend to pick apart because i could never follow what he did. i watched it like 4 times…:eek:
but i would still like to check out the ED files, if anyone can help. Thanks!
