I'm working an commercial where is a swimming fish.
I have built a spline which the bones should follow. But there's a problem.
It´s working fine until there is 180degree turn in that path. For some reason the skeleton flips backwards...
I've tried everything but I can't fix this.
Any ideas?

here´s also screenshot from simple test scene

ahh.
I finally solved the problem.
So there is no problem anymore. :)

I had to tweak some axis values in IK hierarchy.
