It gets a bit hard to follow at times (especially with the accent, and the CC is a bit off at times), but there's enough there to get the main idea if you've been around the block a bit and have dabbled in rigging.

They also have hair that, basically, have the shape of 'simple tentacles', but are textured to look like hair, so I want to implement this rig to help create a good hair rig But for now, Still watching and still learning! 🐙

Hey Pierrick, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge on KZfaq! I also bought already the art of rigging and Alive courses last year, though i struggled at times and put them on standby as i was learning other stuff back then. I recently came back to animation with Blender and found this tutorial of yours (is it taken from the course or is it a brand new clip?) which seems perfect for what i currently need. But i have a simple question: i noticed when you timelapse the creation of the custom shapes for the bones you multiselected all the three bones and assigned the sphere empty to all of them at once. Why when i try that only the active selection gets the custome shape and not all of them? I hope you can help. It's no big deal but as i have a bone chain of about 16 bones it would be handy for the future as well. Thanks so much and sorry for the extremely long logorrheic post XD

hello, great tutorial, thanks, i recreated it. But I ran into a problem - when the IK-controller moves over the chain's vertical axis, the whole chain "jumps" to another position. It is difficult to explain in words (it looks like a gibal lock visually) - it turns out that such a system is difficult to control during animation - I set the desired position using inverse kinematics - in another frame I set a different position, and if it passes through the Y - axis of the entire system - then instead of smooth movement, the tentacle jumps a long distance to the final point. Thanks, I hope I can find the answer here!

You need to snap the hands to the IK position, which will anchor them to wherever you place them (like on the bar for pull ups), and then, to start, you animate the hips bone, that will bring the body up, but the hands remain in place.
