There’s a vertex group on the hand mesh to isolate the shrinkwrap to the proximity of the tendons/bones, if that’s what you mean. There are Smooth modifiers for each as well to soften the transition, and those use the same vertex group to isolate the smoothing.

 ![Shrinkwrap Vertex Group](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/6/c/2/6c2577449f249c7b03fb25c7c5a211a030e62e0b.jpeg)

If only Shrinkwrap had an option to smooth the transition, it would be much easier to work with for this kind of purpose. I doubt the devs had musculoskeletal sims in mind when they implemented it though (and it’s so close to being that…).

I’ve just replaced the video with a better quality Youtube one by the way.

[Edit] And it’s at 3 subdivision levels, which gives me 30fps for the hand by itself.
