Description

Hi there,

im trying to creat this hand rig:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=783UG-eJgt8&feature=channel_video_title

im assuming in order to be able to do this, i will need to use the reaction manager

if you see the video from 0:0 to 0:06 you will see that when he rotates the controler in the Y axis, all fingers will also rotate in the Y Axis as well (so far so good, this is easly done)

but if you watch the video from 0:08 to 0:15 you will see that rotating the controler in the X axis determains the rotation value of each finger on the Y axis.

im "assuming" how this person has done it is by having a dummy for each finger within the controler (the box). (so 5 dummies within the box)
so when the box is rotated on the X axis and the right corner of the box is up and the left corner is down and this controlers the movment of the fingers.

but this would only be possible if BOTH the X and Y rotation of the dummies within in were controlling the Y rotation of the bones.

this means the two masters (the X and Y rotation of the box) control the same slave (the Y rotation of the bone)

Thanks

only consider the midel bone (the one with the cube on it), when he rotates that in the Y axis, it also rotates the fingers in the Y axis, but when he rotates the same box in the X axis, still the fingers are rotate on the Y axis.
the cube on the top is the controler for the spacing between the fingers, the box behind it is the main wrist controler, and the one at the front is for controlling the tip of the fingers.

there is also this vid as well:

not very useful rig, i think

Well, I think you quite complicate that task. See there intermediate bones in the palm that connects the fingers with the wrist (as in a real hand). So, are they there for nothing?.. Look again at your hand and you'll imagine how this rig is done.
