Hello,
maybe a very basic or even stupid question...
What is the best way to create easy-to-animate Versions of "Dr. Octopus-Arms"-Like thinks?
The object should be a simple (Nurbs?) Cylinder or something of that kind... which should be easy to animte like a tentacle...

A SplineIK with a cylinder and hooks used to animate them - with the hooks set to an IK arm with stretch.
I guess. I use a similar technique for my mouth/eye rings.
This also will depend on the software you're using. What do you want to do it in?
