That "roll" part and their up vectors I think it´s mentioned on the CGTalk interview this guy had some time ago, If I´m not mistaken... @ Eric T, that´s an excellent approach: Wire deformer....I´ll see to make something simliar (I´ve been looking at blender stuff this week). @ Grahame F, thanks for that link , I hadn´t seen that on the documents before.
