Eight soft arms in a coat of minky.
Floppy, clingy, heavy in the head.
Offer it a finger.
Material Studies · No. 012 · Argon Edition
Built entirely with procedural geometry, custom WGSL shaders, and a 120 Hz soft-body physics solver — with zero external 3D models, textures, or audio files.
A heavy deformable ellipsoid head and 8 arms of 10 capsule nodes each. Compliant distance & bending springs allow 1.7× stretch before transferring real lever-arm torque to the head, paired with a secondary harmonic jiggle oscillator and idle breathing.
Combines 14 instanced volumetric shell layers of hashed Voronoi fiber cones (for dense undercoat volume) with 96,000 instanced 3-segment hair ribbons featuring Kajiya-Kay anisotropic sheen and velocity flutter.
Lowering the 3D Finger onto the head solves vertical ellipsoid indentation across 4 viscoelastic memory slots. Holding near an arm causes the tip to reach out, spiral around your finger, and hang on while lifted.
Two offset rows of embroidered sucker rings follow each arm's parallel-transport frame; bead eyes reflect studio softboxes via the optical half-vector; real-time pink-noise and resonant synthesis generate plush squishes and combing sounds.
