Metacarpal controls

[AlexW]

So with Mgear 4 we have a setting to add metacarpal controls:

The problem is that these controls don’t actually control the metacarpals:

Is there any way (without post scripts) to have these work independently ?

Also the parenting is set up for the main meta control:

instead of being connected to the hand bone:

I get that this is due to the main meta control for splay functionality.

I guess I just hoped that the independent meta controls flag give them an independent setup.

When dealing with metacarpals (particularly in viewmodel animations) you really want independent control.

Ok, I’ll re-phrase this as I’m guessing there is no answer to the current setup. Would anyone be able to help in terms of how I’d go about using a post script to re-parent these correctly? Looks like someone else has also stumbled on this issue:

Meta_01 and fingers, how do they work?

hi guys, I am having a tough time understanding how to correctly use the Meta_01 in conjunction with fingers (lite_chain_01). As you can see in the following demo. The global meta controller ( meta_L0_ctl ) seems to be doing what it should be doing but when manipulating the meta_L0_meta0_ctl, the fingers are not rotating.
