Hello, I hope everyone is okay!

I am looking into rigging an octopus in Houdini 18.5 and I was wondering what technique would be the best in Houdini 18.5!

Is FEM still the best way for the dynamic part, or is Vellum better, since much faster, is there some sort of spline IK setup for Houdini, how about muscle, and I can’t find any good tutorial on the subject, anyone has a link on a decent tutorial?

Thanks in advance for any reply!

Best try those and I would opt for Vellum:
