Right. I understand basically what you're saying...but have no idea how to implement it. I thought IK chains were used for deformation style animation, and that mechanical animation was best handled using manual movement. I've posted a 2 second animation of the test tentacle I did, seems alright. Watching the DVD again, they did exactly what you said. The 'swimming' sentinels have 'dumb' arms and lots, but the closeups have few and are properly done.
