How to override Follower?

[vncnt]

In one of my models I´m using Follower for each finger controller.

What would be the simplest solution if I wanted to add a master controller that controls all fingers at once (to get the shape of a fist) but still being able to override the master controller with each finger controller?

You can't... the only way to do it is to layer your controllers up on top of one another. So if you have your 3 knuckles, they would have to be 3 pairs... one set controlled by the single finger controller, and second set controlled by the full hand controller.

The way to do it with a single set of controls is to use expressions that are additive to one another.

That seemed to help for a few seconds and then it just stopped working.

I could get a working solution using a Rotation Item on the Controllers and Limits tab in the Motion Options dialog. The blending strength can be adjusted.
Maybe not perfect but it seems to be close to what I was aiming for.

Experimented with Expressions but they never seemed to do anything at all.
A simple Motion Plugin that combines the motion of two objects in a predefined way (add, subtract, multiply, etc) would be a better solution for me.

In the next weeks I want to get some more experience with finger controllers to make sure I really need a master finger controller in the first place.
Keeping track of motions is difficult enough with a single controller.
