Back
store each of your predefined poses as a clip. Apply them to the
mixer... one per track. Use the parenting options in each clip to make
them always cover the whole timline. Then create proxy parameters from
each clip's weight into a CPset. Make sure the mixer is set to normalize.
from this base technique you can expand. For example, you can put all
the hand clips under a compound clip. Then you can blend between that
compound clip, and other hand animated clips to override your automated
CPset when you want to.

is just crazy imo. You might as well just animate the bones direct. The point
of my idea is to have predefined poses for the hands that are hooked up to
sliders, so you can easily blend into hand poses. Then if you need to tweak
those you can just animate the bones to override it. I just think it would be
nicer, and its what I'm used to doing in other packages. I guess this isn't
possible though.

default xsi rig way of doing it is pretty decent, where you have a proxy
parameter set of sliders and also a set of saved actions on the bones for
different poses...

am trying to do is blend between static poses to control fingers. This doesn't
seem possible with normalized mixing or additive. When I say blend between
static poses I mean change the weight vaue for the track. So I have a track for
each finger position and set the track weights to get different poses. Does
that make sense? If theres a better way to do it, I'm all ears, or hands, or
whatever. ;-)
