12/04/2018 Update:
I added 5 more mesh pieces to this set and included a second texture applier script that contains 5 more textures.
Have fun!

Thanks for your patronage!

This is an unusual project for me, but I felt we needed more tentacles in SL.

It is a set of roughly 1.67m long tentacles resembling some kind of cephalopod appendage.

This is a builder's kit for personal with mesh that is NOT TRANSFERABLE, but please note the maps included have full permissions. For information about a full perm kit, please purchase the 0L DEMO.

Read carefully the terms and conditions within this listing to understand your legal rights and obligations under the user license. (They're not too painful. Don't worry.)

***
First, please view the DEMO. It is available for free here at the SL Marketplace. You will be able to see all the mesh models, all the textures included in this set, test the almost non-existent physics, and get an idea of the level of detail at distance.

For this set, I made sure you would see them at a fair distance, which means they are SMALLER than my other sets to preserve Li. All tentacles are 2Li or less at the default size. Enlarging mesh will dramatically change its land impact, but I think you will find these versatile. I will consider uploading a lower LI version upon request, for those of you who want to make tentacles the size of houses. It will, of course, require that the level of detail at distance would be nil because I will be accomplishing this in the upload process.

There is no excuse for not knowing what you are purchasing.

***
Second, note the permissions of this set.
The mesh components in this set have the following permissions:

Copy
Modify
No Transfer

* The package includes:
27 linked mesh tentacle variations
2 Normal Maps (smooth flesh & bumpy flesh)
2 Specular Maps (smooth flesh & bumpy flesh)
2 versions of a Shadow Map
2 Greyscale Texture Maps
1 UV Map
(I cut the UV Map prior to decimation. All tentacle models were decimated after posing to obtain a lower polycount. I sliced the UV in order to retain texture detail on all those suckers in a 512x512 map. You will have the shadow maps and textures to guide you, which you will find more helpful than the UV. You do not have to create 27 textures; the same texture can be used for all 27 models.

The smooth Normal and Specular maps are already applied on the models. You will see this in the DEMO. The bumpy versions are included just for more options.)

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me via notecard.

If you are interested in a full perm version of this kit, review the DEMO.
The DEMO has instructions in a notecard describing how to contact me and the terms and conditions for using a full perm version.

And, now, your TERMS OF USE:
If you are going to use the components of this package with your own avatar, you do not need to read any further.

If you are going to sell or redistribute my products, these are the restrictions:

Term 1)
You may NOT sell or give away any component of this package together or separately, with the exception described in Term 3.
This means:
~ you may not use my items to create your own builder's kit under any condition.
~ you may not sell any of the UV maps, shadow maps, texture maps, or any other materials.
~ you may not give or sell the individual mesh pieces, even if they are re-textured.. They are being sold to you without transfer permissions. This, of course, means you are not permitted to transfer them.

Term 2)
You MAY create unique texture maps for my mesh models and sell these new maps, individually or with an applier script for those who have also purchased this package.
I included the maps to assist you in creating your own, unique creations. Adding some color to my greyscale map does NOT constitute sufficient change to call it your own texture.

Term 3)
You MAY share the textures and UV maps included in this kit, thus extending the user license to one other avatar without making another purchase, provided the following conditions are met:

You must:
~ confirm this avatar has a legitimate reason for access to my products with full perms. For example: it is your alt or business partner.
~ ensure the owner of this avatar understands Terms 1, 2, and 3 apply to all shared components of my product.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me via notecard.

Again, if you are interested in a full perm version of this kit, review the DEMO before contacting me. The DEMO has a notecard describing the terms and conditions for using a full perm version and its price.

Have fun!
