@lucky Yeah — you are correct — but then flipping the “scoop shape” wouldn’t create the desired shape on the pour out. Another reason to probably not use the shape type. I had been staring at things way too long when I made those ones and flipped them to get the correct profile for pouring, without contemplating its implications on the underwater part.
Using a brace / bracket that just locks the paddle direction still makes sense though — as depicted in the other paddle type. I think the key thing involving the freedom of motion off of the bearing is that its set more inward and not central to the paddle. That would force it to be more top heavy, tilting it downward until it approaches the upward angles. I think anyway.
I think my plan is to do a quick dirty animation of static paddles vs ones on an axel / bearing and then pull the trigger on what direction I’m going. But at this point, “simple but believable”is what i should be doing. XD
