Tenta-Clone in OpenSCAD

thingiverse

I saw schmarty's clever Volumetric Tentacle Key Hook ( http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8720 ), which struck me as right up the alley of my extrude-place-by-function doodles in OpenSCAD. When I looked at guru's original Volumetric Tentacle, I saw that indeed, he had used essentially the same methods but in Processing. So I made a clone of his work, in OpenSCAD, just to show it could be done. OpenSCAD can do organic looking, there... you just have to be patient with the renders! Instructions The script is definitely not parametric, so fiddle at your own risk :-) Rendering took 3+ hours, and the STL was 6+ MB. I ran it thru netfabb with came back with a much more reasonable 1.5 MB. GitHub repository: https://github.com/syvwlch/Thingiverse-Projects/tree/master/Tenta-Clone
