This was created with some macros I wrote.

The basic parts are good, but the movement is a little too random. The
tentacles should have a direction to them (surge or current).
I played around with getting good anemone tentacles awhile back, and got
very good results with L-System5 using tropism for surge (made some very
nice fireworks that way too). If someone has implemented such a thing in
POV-SDL that would be sweet. L-System5 exports to DXF.

Yeah, they're completely random, just with the ones that collided culled.
I think they might look a bit better if they weren't placed randomly at the
base.
The anemone's I've seen were in tide pools, there's no current there, but
there
is gravity, and of course they have muscles that re-align the tentacles if
you
poke em.

OK, maybe I'll look at L-System5 sometime.

Heh, and how many times did you do that Tim? :o) I see these anemones all
around our North Wales coast, (and I poke 'em too!) ;)
They're kind of like slug and snail eyes/tentacles - touch them, and
they retract. Very clever design.

This got me thinking so i made a little animation...
http://www.soware.co.uk/POVRay/ (Select Anemone)
although the movement of the tentacles is completely wrong - it currently
looks like an inverted jellyfish - I think that with a little work, this
could look quite realistic - I'd appreciate any feedback...
Thanks,
Simon

The movement looks a lot like how a jellyfish's tentacles
move.

very True. I've since come up with a V2 that has movement that isn't always
pointed at the centre of the anemone and I'm trying to implement something
where the "flow" of water causes the tentacles to sway in a more realistic
way for V3.
