Is there anyway to temporarily disable parent node influence over children? Or even have the Children react negatively to the parent's rotation?

could you pass the rotation through a reverse-node, or multiply/divide node between the Parent and Child in the Hierarchy, like in Hypershade...?

I saw something a bit like it this morning on the Cane Toad guys site (have a look at cgchannel.com for a link )... something similar in the "shoulder rotation" tutorial, allthough he has the child rotate 1/2 as much as the parent...but still, same theory should apply (ie mutiply/divide by -1 for eg?)

try turning off "Inherits Transform" in the (child) objects attribute editor... under "Transform Attributes"

you cant key it but I'm sure you could MEL it.
