The problem is I have not seen (freely available) mocap data that actually contains finger animations.
A retargeter like MakeWalk cannot guess what is not there: if there is no finger animation in the source data, it cannot transfer it to the MakeHuman rig.
Do you have examples of mocap files with finger animation?
At some point after the 1.1 release I'll start investigating pipelines from mocap tools such as ipisoft, or Brekel. With a kinect 2 type RGBD camera I believe finger movements are indeed possible.
Another option is using Leap Motion devices for recording hand movements. See the post on MH + sign language for how they were combined with an old MakeHuman mesh.
