Hey everyone,<br>
<br>
I am currently working on <span class="phui-crumb-view
phabricator-last-crumb"><span class="phui-crumb-name">T48988,
which aims to enable bbones easing parameters for animation. So
far I provided a patch there which solves the core issue and
works well. <br>
<br>
However I want to use this opportunity to also propose an
extension of the edit mode preview for bbones, which currently
does not correspond to blenders actual behavior and is therefore
misleading and less helpful than it could be. My suggestion
would be to make the "Custom Handles" options available in both
edit and pose mode while still sharing the same data (as it is
currently with the easing parameters). This clarifies intent and
would automatically give the EditBone all relevant data for
drawing an accurate preview which takes the handles, custom or
not, fully into account.<br>
<br>
This change would give riggers an accurate visual representation
of the bbones rest pose while in edit mode and enable riggers to
take advantage of bbone setups using non-straight handles. Which
is perfectly viable and often faster and more convenient to
setup than relying entirely on the bbone offset settings alone.

class="phui-crumb-view phabricator-last-crumb"><span
class="phui-crumb-name">ou could do this right now, there is
no change in bbone mechanics involved here, but operating
blind does not help the process.</span></span><br>
<br>
Note that this proposal and the easing parameter fix probably
will break backwards compatibility as the interface changes
which means that the save locations of parameters in the blend
files may change as well. <br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Thomas<br>
