Fingers.


This will be a pretty simple finger setup.

Create a new Percentage Slider. Rename it (in this case Index_L) Right-click it and bring up the Settings for the slider.


Change the Minimum Value from 0% to -33%. This way we can setup our fingers to bend backwards.


With the pose slider set to 100%, rotate/curl the TWO end bones for the finger. Leave the first alone.


Set the slider to -33% and rotate those 2 end bones back slightly.

Do this for each finger + thumb.


Select the middle-bone for each finger-chain, turn off "Attached to Parent". Results may get ugly if you forget.


Now hide the 2 end-bones for each finger chain.


Select the root of each finger-chain and adjust the length, giving you easier to read/grab bones. You could just pull them out but you may mess with its angles.

All done! Now you just have 1 bone to control the finger direction, if you need to curl it just use the slider.
