Copy a pose from one bone chain to another?

[MagnusC]

Hi,

 

This question feels like it should have been asked before but I cant't find anything about it...

 

Anyways, is it possible to copy a pose from one bone chain to another?

 

Say for instance I have the pose "Curl up left index finger". My preferred way to animate the other nine fingers would be to copy this pose, and then tweak each instance until it looks right. However, it would seem that the way A:M works means I have to animate all 10 fingers from scratch.

 

Am I missing something or is this the way to do it?

 

Regards,

MC

No, because the bones have different names.

In actual practice this won't be much less work.

But on a rig like TSM2 you can control/curl a whole finger with one bone anyway so a separate pose slider sounds unnecessary.
