Ingame mechanics: Just like in the document, you find the box its contained broken in its chamber, and you see a dead guard,D-class, scientist, or even a MTF with the SCP on the corpse. As you stare at the SCP you hear your heart race, the only way to try to escape the room without making it hostile is possibly a good use for the crouching mechanic.

That could actually work, but maybe it's a bit hard to animate? (don't know much about animating)

Night or other modelers that collaborate with CB could attempt to do the model. The tendrils could move like the tentacles found in 035's chamber. (When idle) I seriously would love to make the model myself but I don't know a thing about modeling or animating models.

I know about animating, and as a seasoned 3ds Max user, I can tell you that binding the mesh to a skeleton would be possible. The only problem would be that the skeleton would have to be made from scratch, and it would be a lot of work to create to give the right effect.

My question still has not been answered. A while ago I asked if anybody knew what other SCPs Regalis was working on because I got a message from him that sounded like he was working on SCPs other than 860.

Eh, they're just tentacles. Animating it wouldn't really be too hard. Plus 3ds Max lets you take animations you've already created and apply them to others, so basically you just animate the tentacle once and have each of the other tentacles use that same animation at slightly different intervals.

The real problem would be using that many bones. I usually model for the Source engine and they have a limit of around 20 bones per model. I'm not sure how many Blitz3D allows, but you'd have to use at least 2 bones per tentacle.

You could have multiple tentacles on the same bone. I have some experience with animation although it was in a different program and that is how I would do it. Using that method you could achieve the effect you want. I am not sure if it would work the same way since you are using a different program that isn't as advanced but there should still be a way to do it. Even if there wasn't a limit to how many bones it can have it would be easier to do it that way.

So...Just a shot in the dark, I guess 339 is gonna happen?

What do you mean "isn't as advanced"? I was under the impression 3ds Max was pretty up to par

Also sure you could put multiple tentacles on one bone, but then they'd move in sync, and wouldn't that look kinda weird?

Edit: Oooh I see what you're saying. Nah, the Source engine is the engine for Half-life 2. Since we're talking about CB, then that doesn't really matter. I was just asking what the bone limit is for Blitz3D so we know that we wouldn't run into that issue. Game engines have bone limits, 3D applications don't. 3ds Max can handle tons of bones

I actually don't know how good the programs you use are. I have experience with Maya and a little bit of Blender, and Maya is supposed to be the best that there is, (or so I am told).

Honestly, Maya and 3ds Max are almost the exact same thing. Autodesk isn't really clear on what makes them different.
