Managed to model the oral arms of the jellyfish, not that great, but progress nonetheless. Also passed them into my wire sim, apparently if a surface is passed in, the wire solver will treat each edge as a wire. Due to this, my simulation is slowed down by a LOT. I'll have to find a way to use the back bone to run through the simulation before using a wire deform to transfer the data to the high resolution geometry.
Also found a way to have the jellyfish move along a curve (using the carve) at a preset speed, no matter the length of the curve. I needed this because I have an expression which animates the jellyfish forward to the animation of the head. Hence, since the carve node works on a 0-1 range, I wouldn't want to go in and adjust it for the many background jellyfish I have. Hence, I used an arclen() expression to translate my translation value into a 0-1 range that can be used by the carve node. fit01() does not work.
