Fast and efficient 3D modeling tutorial for the human hand

A great way to model a human hand with perfect edge flow. Made in Maya but should work with any poly modeling software. You can find the reference images on my website here: http://erraticimagery.com/extras/tuts.html

In my full Lynda.com course, I build a full character and improve upon the techniques shown here. click this link: http://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourse.aspx?lpk2=68385

Great video, very easy to follow and the explanations were clear. I just have a curiosity: what keeps you going and modelling all the time?

[squirc]

@MehthodMan thanks! What keeps me going? well, I love modeling and it pays the bills. It's fun and a good way to express my creativity.

[rudal90]

hmm, i bet you sleep with maya every night

[squirc]

@rudal90 yup. with zbrush too. at the same time. it's hot.

[crimsonpatty]

is it possable to do this kinda thing in c4d becuase i dont like maya nor auto desk :/

[squirc]

@crimsonpatty Yes, you should be able to do basically the same thing in any polygon modeling program

I got to HAND it to you... This tutorial sure is HANDY! Sorry. My puns are getting out of HAND.

[squirc]

@rodikov Those models derived from photos as well as 3d scans look great, but they don't have any edgeflow or topology for animation. It could be a good idea to use them as retopology source meshes or as guides for polymodeling.

what is that program

[BlenderBug]

nice tut!

[Atriedes1337]

@WebVManReturns you totally right, HANDS off the keyboard now! You gotta first learn to HANDle your puns first before someone can really HAND you the torch.

[xXMrGamePlayerXx]

[rudal90]
