Alright, here s the deal.

I apply clusters to some vertex and set driven keys these clusters with my joint, as a driver of course. So when i rotate my shoulder joint the clusters move around and keep my shape realistic. Everything is working fine even when i switch between ik and fk, youpii:

Now the issues starting to appear as soon as i move my character around... seems like there s a double transformation.

I've tried all day long to solve this problem but couldn't come up with any solutions. I run out of ideas.... Anyone?

try making the cluster relative, and direct connecting it to the shoulder joint

I tried but it doesnt work.
It is not working either when i use a influence instead.
I have a blend between ik and fk for my arm and i reckon this is where my pb is. When i parent (or constraint) something to my result joint shoulder, seems like there s a double transformation.
Same pb occure to my elbow but not. for exemple, my knee (where it is only an ik).

try setting the cluster inherit transform off (in the attribute editor). this will stop the double transformation but the cluster wont inherit movement from the parent anymore.

yeah i ve already tried that but it didn't work :/
Apparently my pb occur only with one vertex associated to a cluster... which is totally weird bc my other clusters are fine. I really don't get what could cause this issue

i was just wondering if you try to change the deformation order of the cluster and the skinCluster.
