I was just going to update my tutorial on shoulder deformation using pydrivers to include my solution to a pending problem by some creative cheating using constrained bones. Now with this reference, I might solve the problem by math alone. Just what I couldn't find anywhere and didn't know where to look for.

I don't get it....... $%^#$%^#^%!AA! Anyway nice to see how smart all the blender contributors are. Wow….. I don't get it……. $%^#$%^#^%!AA!

Good job!! As a one-time SigGraph member (decades ago), I am amazed at when these research papers become reality. I think it takes a tremendous intelligence to understand the principles, realize the limitations of the medium (the programming language), and figure out how to turn A into B.

I have a bachelor degree in electrical engineering (specialized technical computer science). Math and C were long forgotten friends. But now I'm brushing up on those two skills again as I speak. My goal is to read those Siggraph papers like they were novels and implement those new technology in Blender right away. So , I hope that I can cut in starting at Blender 2.47 or something. I was wrestling with fast SSS though a few years back. It took me a quite a few months to understand Prof. Hendrik's paper and after that I started to write some code down. But then my new born son happened. In any case, I think that there will be lots of new potential developers for Blender waiting to strike, and when they do they'll come in waves :) Like you said it brother: "past tense".

Reading up on Euler rotation really made my head spin. I will read this when I'm feeling brave.. until then just the thought of jumping back into the euler matrix makes my stomach hurt. I hate it so much. I battled with the orientation matrix in Ozone Forces. Reading up on Euler rotation really made my head spin.
