i have my bone structure and i am using PEN Attribute Holder, i have done the index finger fine, but my second finger when i effect the Z axis of the second nuckle, it goes mental. any ideas on why this is happening? (only the index finger works)

are you using biped or your own skeleton? What is the bone parented to? How much "mental"? Like, "fly of the screen mental" or like, "completely wrong rotation mental"?

i managed to fix it, i found that putting a small bend in the finger before you try and use the parameters it seems to "realise" what direction it needs to bend in.

thanks for the concern tho

Cool. I've had bones' rotations sometimes go crazy when after I've linked them, changed something, and then not re-linked them. Can't recall how I did it.

Best of luck,
