Surprising limitations - display risky tensions already in edit mode?
Hello everyone. Finally able to register here, after some failure...
I already created a few scenes, but I noticed how hard it can be to predict if they will pass thresholds of the bones system. One example was simply trying to bend the tail of the Cat as close as possible to the back and over her shoulder to let her play with the tip ... as soon as I started to test it, the tail tip started to bend away and curl up. Another example is going to extremes with body bending, trying to make a female (e.g. Bunny) fisting herself: You may be able to bend the body until it is possible to insert her own hand, but as soon as you test it, the body snaps back to convenience limits you dod not expect during editing.
I hope you are able to somehow display the degree of tension at the joints (at least if they pass a threshold) to predict whether a pose would probably cause issues during an animated scene.

There is another scene I did not yet want to publish incompletely, so please tell me how to send it to you; I found the local file.
Ready to publish in case of success...
