I don't find it hard at all.
I usually start with the a long box, and I use the knife tool and move points around to get a good looking finger, I then copy/paste the finger to create all the fingers I want. I stretch/scale/move/rotate... the fingers a little so that they are all in place. Then I attach them by adding polys in between the bases. I extend the points a little and so I have a little ring of polys around each finger and then I continue to extend the points createing the rest of the hand. I then choose the polys where the thumb would stick out of (usually 4 polys) and model it out. I don't know of a tutorial that shows this it is just the way I do it (more or less). :)

Martin Krol's (http://ambient-whisper.cgcommunity.com/) hand modeling video is the best I've seen by far.

Hey CIM, what's the URL to that Asian site that has all of Martin's videos linked? I thought I bookmarked it. It's the one with the Dragon and demon he did in Mirai.

Thanks.

Nice video. ( http://www.newtek.com/products/ligh.../modeling/hand/ )

What tool is he using when he narrows the fingers. It looks like the stretch tool, but when I try it, it doesn't taper like that.
( I also tried the taper tool )

Am I missing something?!?!??! Any help would be great!

You kinda answered your own question a little .

The Taper tool ... its under the Modify panel.


(don't feel bad, I asked that question myself at first)
