Better Bending (not sharp or stuff like that)

[Tobi PlaysMC 84]

In the current Beta - Version you can only bend in one direction. (---^). Will there be bending in different directions? (----| )

Unless you want to animate a person with a broken limb, then it'd be useless.

It could be used for rigging, possibly.

If I add that, I predict many new users not so familiar with human anatomy will bend it backwards by mistake and hundreds of animations will look weird. I'll probably eventually add some trick to bend it backwards though.

You can bend, and rotate the arm.

 

But seriously even in Real life this doesn't happen with a broken arm. :/ Also I guess it won't happen. In Blender, when you try to do this with Sharp, you don't get good results. Same with smooth.. But smooth isn't that much noticeable.

2 bend bars, one for forward, the other for backward?

Add in settings a radio-button for backwards bending.

Can't this effect be achieved by rotating the arm 180 degrees?
