BigJ; glad to hear it; some of Roachy's comments privately about same lacing over top for SRT bending top more than just tied to top, talking with Daniel last night about it all. Seems like you guys are right on dis'stuff! You are right about the forces, but then, we have lower impacts, so better tradeoff?
To me, this works like the to side pull of a steeper angle support line, but without the loss of so much of the overhead support that you usually give up in trade! Ushering the best of both worlds!
Daniel asked how much i use it. i submit, that once shown to be a powerful variable, anything should be accepted as part of the formulae for rigging any limb! So, even if i don't bend the line as shown; the principle is still present, but the factor just dialed down to zer0 on that particular rig. Lacing inadvertantly to twist the wrong way/away from target, would even give this setting of this factor, a negative value to the rig; being below zer0!
i am so comfy with it; when i don't use it; i realize the concious decision to set this factor to zer0. i think it is a possible multiplier in the equation of support and steering, that many don't tap. i go at it with the confidence, that aobut anything is possible to float, by taking the equal and opposite reaction to it's force, and turning and/or leveraging it agianst the load itself. As in some kind of martial arts, or art of arguement precept; that anything can be broken, by pitting it against itself etc.
