i remember there was a tutorial here on simplymaya on how to make a hand. its several parts long. iam pretty sure its poly work. cant quite remember and i dont feel like looking it up. just shows how lazy i can be. have a look at it.


A pint of example is worth a gallon of advice!!

Use it as you wish or as reference to model your own.


When smoothed it doesn't look too bad.

i dunno, i think it's pretty easy to model a hand without a tutorial, since you've got two of them right in front of you that you can move around and look at from all kinds of angles... i mean after you get the basic shape, all the subtleties - which i find to be the hard part - can be inspected close up, and it kinda takes all the guesswork out of it. *shrug*

well when it comes to the hand, which part are you having trouble with? can you get to the basic shape?


take a look at this tutorial . it's not in english, but just looking at the pictures should help ya out... it starts with the fingers first, but damn when you get to the end it looks pretty damned good.

on the top to the left there's an animated arrow pointing up... if you click on that it'll take you to the rest of this guy's tutorials, and you'll find a foot tutorial as well, that takes basically the same approach, also with impressive results.
