Well, I've never done fingers, but I've done spider legs, so here goes.  It's
important with bones to model the object properly so as to minimize
interaction between the bones.  If possible model the hand with the fingers
splayed out as far as possible from each other and straight.  Make the
polygons between the joints the legnth of the finger segment (anybody know
what those are called?).  This will minimize the bending of the finger
segments due to bone interaction.

Then use one bone for each joint (3 for each finger in a human hand).  Set
the rest legnth to the legnth of the joint.  Try that then experiment with
limited range, if needed.


Lemme know how it works!
