Set driven keys + manual animation?

[andoneus]

Hi there,

I have a character setup with a set driven key for the fist.
The problem is that in addition to having this SDK that controls the fist, I would like to do some individual animation on the fingers as well.
However, as the Rotate -values are connected straight to the set driven key, I cannot control them individually - for example, if I move the controller of the thumb and set a key, it does not work.

Is there any way I could do both: have the set driven keys AND control the affected curves manually when needed?

Thank you!

How do you have your driven keys set up for the fist controller?

Yes. Don’t SDK the controls themselves, SDK a group above them. Then the children (the controls themselves) are free to manipulate.
