twisty spine

[LFShade]

SplineIK has start and end angle parameters. IIRC, turning on manipulate mode gives you handles in the viewport for these. They don't work great out of the box, but there are ways of improving it through wire, script, or expression controllers.

Maybe somebody can post an example? If not, I'll put one up tonight.
