dave has a point but that will increase the poly count, maybe for later. I dont see why you have so many poly's mate?? You arent allowed to smooth this are you? each finger could be an octogon, single face at each end of the knuckle with a smaller one as the actaul knuckle and seperate geo of course. I think you could reduce faces on the joints you do have too and the palm could get away with less than half the faces...the whold hand could be seperate components...or wouldnt this work CG??
