I enjoyed the IK girl and learned a lot from you example, thanks.
I was playing around and trying to make a mobius strip with IK. Just a flat
ribbon like mesh that I could bend around and twist. I got it to bend around
but for some reason I didn't get it to work.
Even though I constrained the rotation of each joint to be from 0 to -15
degrees, when the strip was bent up and over, one of the joints just flipped
backwards and collapsed in on itself. I could not even get it to make a simple
loop. Never got to trying the twist. And thats another thing. Even though I
never twisted th dummy object, my follow object twisted anyway. I obviously
need some practive here….
Any ideas on how to model a mobius strip? Not a high priority, I was just
relaxing and fooling around making interesting sculptures.
