thank you for the the response! So i think i might stick with the ncloth route, seeing as I know very little about soft bodies. Of course, I also know very little about ncloth. Does anyone know of a tutorial that might be helpful in getting a cool effect that is maybe somwhat similiar to what the jellyfish I already posted has? If not don't worry, I'm just trying to improve, if even a bit! thanks again - Ruxpin
