Adding Suction Cups on Tentacles

[edwin_ochoa_ME]

Hello, 

I've been working on this stand that is gonna hold up a board and the base of the stand is a book and the legs are octopus tentacles. This kind of project is what I do a lot in my free time; where it kind blends CAD modeling for proper control of holesizes and hole placements etc. and then after I would go in and add "Artsy" Detail in another software like "Nomad Sculpt" or "Blender".

However for something like this (Adding suction cups on the tentacles) I feel like I would like to keep it in Fusion. So that if I move the tentacles around slightly later or change the board size in the near future I won't have to keep jumping from platform to platform so soon in the design timeline.

I tried playing around with creating a sketch and embossing it on the tentacle's face but the emboss doesn't seem to wrap all of the sketches around the tentacle leaving gaps between faces, etc. I found that I could get away with doing one or two of the suction cups at a time like this, which kind of worked better, but then at that point it was supper tedious. 

I was wondering if anyone knew of a better way of doing this. I would be very grateful for some advice.

Thank you

Can you share your Blender and Fusion models?

You might have to zip the Blender model before attaching it to a post.

JFYI: Octopuses have arms not tentacles.  Tentacles only have one suction cup on the end. Squid have tentacles.
