Thank you, James! Could you elaborate a bit about what you mean with a more visible edge? Sounds interesting. 
The UVās are locked, yes, but minor tweaks are usually pretty simple to do.

made the hand look a bit too dead to me , dunno
if that was your intention

Hmmā¦ Iāll try my best::
Considering that the skin has a certain thicknessā¦ and on a sharp cut like that, where the tools are attached, I would expect the skin to sort of come off the subdermal layers a bitā¦ like a bit flaky somehow, yet not dry, perhaps the edge in some areas will cover a portion of the āattacher ringā, sort of hanging looseā¦ uhā¦ Iām not sure if that made anything more clear tho
@Squibbit: My intention is that in the end the hand should look more alive. I hope it will look like that once I get the rest of the body in place.
@JamesMK: OKā¦ I think I get it, but it might require some heavy gemometric cutting. Maybe I can fix it by using simple polygons with some clever alpha mapping? Iāll see what I can do!

hey, i was a littl busy and didnt visit, but this is great, i hope i can reach that level on my textures, you just rock all details are very well done, hope u can match the deadline, cos this is an awesome entry! good luck!:wip: :buttrock:
Tell me about it, there are so many good threads to follow, your own entry to work on and that annoying Real Life ā¢ that you canāt keep up with it all. Believe me, I know all about it.
Yes, I do hope I can finish it in time. I need to start working on the head as soon as possible because thatās gonna need some serious input from you guys and I want to make it as good as I can!

Like I usually say: the day you canāt fix something with some clever alpha mapping will be a sad day indeed for mankind 
I just entered this contest and have browesd through the other entries(no not all) and wow there are some great work being created here. I think your Idea is really cool and your model and texture are top!. Great work indeed keep it up.
Take a look at my work too if you want :rolleyes:
not too much work done though (keeping a more simple aproach because I donāt have that much time to spend
)
My Entry
DShadow, eh? Ah, another swede enters the stageā¦ have to check that out for sureā¦ donāt tell the others about the plan about world domination whatever you doā¦

I could believe it :rolleyes:
The Swedes WILL rule the world of 3D! Now if we only could get Stahlberg to gather the massesā¦ 
DShadow: Will check out your entry as soon as possible!
/Anders
the āBORGā are calling u to service !!!
(the BORG from star track ā¦ just to be sure every one got it
)
any way ā¦ great job ā¦ canāt wait to the rest of the body !
Ok you Swedes can rule 3d, us Canadians will hang on to hockeyā¦
Great work anders, I really like those screw heads. I need a lesson in modeling hard things from you.
Update:
The hand is finished! Well, at least for now. Will probably add some more details along the way but I consider it some 95% done. Bump, spec and diffusion will come later in the process.
/Anders
Ah yeahā¦ well, a bit early for congratulations 
but Iād like to say something similar at least to celebrate the finished hand texture - any further adjustments are better left for post processingā¦ So, onwards to the head then is it?
Good job so far (you knew that of course, but Iāll just keep repeating myself untilā¦ uhā¦ something)
Thank you, James! Yes, the head is next and I will also start texturing the instruments. I figured I should try multi-tasking for once ā you know, work with several projects simultaneously. God knows how that will endā¦
Well, Iām off to bed!
Cheers!
/Anders
Waouwā¦
ā¦a work as splendid as interesting, Iām literally deafened by the quality and the precision of the details, which seem all to have been thinking.
The presentation of each stage is very pleasant for the eyes and gives really desire for seeing the continuation quickly then.
Cheer
Lemog, thank you!
(This is the same image as above but this time submitted as a milestone.)

Thank you Anders!
your setup with finger partsā¦hmmm you may create like this for keyboard artists:buttrock: pretty good!
see ya
