To add: the space-hinge joint idea is a good one since these joints are not point bending. They are bones rolling along their wide surfaces. The design, as it were, accomodates the large muscle mass and strong ligamentation attached to these joints. If there is a 'point' at the radius of bend, it is not centered at the specific bone-bone interface.

My point is this: in order to improve the rigging and realistic anatomical contortions of human beings requires some studying up on human anatomy. In order to accomplish this means knowing the structures that culminate in those exterior features we recognize as proper.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
