Suggest for driving fingers

[gelo]

Helo.
MHX Drivers has a 'Finger Control' slider. So far it allows only '0' = No control and '1' individual segments bending acordingly with the main controler. However there are lots of hand configurations (such as http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DFnzAg0yixI/TlPrjBB9oyI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/PvncPqeSLdk/s1600/Slide2.JPG) impossible to reproduce with this system. It could be enhanced with aditional numbers that drives the 'Copy Rotation' constraint to each individual phalange. I belive it would be great for the Sign Language project I am involved, and probably useful in other situations.

Many thanks to MH team;

Thank you.
The rigging will be improved (maybe starting from scratch and including new knowledge and experiments results) in alpha9.

This can be easily solved by changing the controllers from "copy value" to "add value" This allows you to use the controller, and refine each joint individually afterwards.
I have used this approach in a hand rig of mine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdi-xx-WVCE

I don't understand the problem. If the Finger Control property is true, you can pose with the long finger bones (on bone layers 7 and 23). But on top of that, you can pose the individual finger links (on layers 8 and 24). Together with the palm bones (on layers 12 and 28), you can reach pretty much any hand pose, I think.
