awesome tutorial! thx for video :)

[@kevinquinonez1510]

THANK YOU!

Hi Awesome video it worked for one hand but not the other hand can you go over how to copy it from one side to the other. I used the mirror thing when you right click and I copy and pasted and adjusted the things to match with the right name but its not working can you go over that. Thanks!!!

[@thegamedevcave]

making sure things are named properly is very important for that mirroring function to work, if you can't get it to work, you may have to just copy over the nodes and manualyl change which bones they affect and make some new controls manually.

awesome, thanks. Just what I was looking for. But I was wondering, how to set up a backward-solver with this. :) I mean, I know how to do, with simple Get-Control -> Set-Bone -Combinations, but what if it gets a bit more complex like here?!

[@thegamedevcave]

i haven't set up a backward solve for this myself but I imagine it would work something like this: You find the rotation value when it's most stretched out you find the rotation value when it's most cureld up with that information you can get the following: you find the range in degrees that a finger can move you find the current rotation- min rotation Now you have all the info you need to reverse lerp this, which is effecticly just getting the percentage of how much the current rotation - min rotation is of your total range. So, a little math involved and all but should be managable :)
