Clusters
 

I am trying to invent some facial rigging systems using clusters. My problem is that when multiple clusters are effecting a vertex the clusters translates seem to be added together. Is there a way so that clusters average their translates and apply them to a vertex rather than add them, sort of like smooth binding. I am trying to avoid binding at this point.

if I remember correctly, you can adjust the amount of weight a cluster has on a vertex through the component editor
