>>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.
Did you make sure that joint's "Limit Joint" box was checked in Joint
Parameters?
>>And thats another thing. Even though I never twisted th dummy object, my
follow object twisted anyway. I obviously need some practive here….
By "follow object" I assume you mean the bottom leaf of the IK heirarchy (that
which is following the follow object) correct? IK is solving for rotations all
along your strip (I also assume there are no sliding joints) in regard to
rotation. IN order to bend and/or twist the pieces must rotate. Jonas' diving
board is a good example – it bent over, just by rotation of the slices.
