Right almost finished the man-rig not!!!! the list of problems ive had along the way are huge, they have mainly been to do with missing small but key details out, not constraining things correctly, forgetting to freeze transformations, putting things correctly in the heirachy and not aligning joints properly. Other than that ha the rig went well in some places and was fun to do when it worked seeing the character being able to come to life was awesome despite my man only being a stick figure. The next thing i went over quickly and it didn't take to long with was the finger manipulators for my hand which was easy enough. For this i used set driven keys as with the feet and made a manipulator to accomadate them. This all worked out fine as before so i only spent minimal time on this, though form this ive found that set driven keys can be very useful for making your own movements, eg the last action of the hand in the set driven key video below i made was my own called love fist, where the fist clenches then sticky out the index and pinki fingers in defiance. This is a tool i may use more when i am more familier with rigging and i will be able to make hand gestures which people may find useful when animating the hand into common poses.
