Rigging of a Biped Character: Rigging of the Arm part 3 - FK Fingers

Biped Character Rigging – Part 6: FK Finger Rigging

In this episode of the Biped Character Rigging series, we focus on setting up FK controls for the fingers—an essential part of any character rig for expressive hand animation.

✅ In this video, you'll learn how to:
- Create clean FK control chains for each finger
- Organize and group finger controls for efficient animation
- Apply constraints to drive the finger joints accurately
- Keep the hand rig modular and easy to animate

With a solid FK finger setup, animators can create detailed hand poses and gestures with ease.
