Re: Flickr group; arms bend like a straw does

Not sure about a tutorial, but the recommended practice is to make a 
series of armatures for a joint rather than just a single joint. For 
example, instead of an upper arm armature and a forearm armature, with 
the rotation point where they connect, make one or more "elbow" 
armatures that will bend in a curve and create a distance between the 
interior faces of the upper arm mesh and the interior faces of the 
forearm mesh ("interior" being the anatomical definition, not "inside" 
the mesh).
