Making hands meet... Zscript Tutorial on Hand Modelling

[cneofotistos]

the title problably says all I need to say.

as a thank you for all you zbrush users who are constantly giving me all that positive feedback, and because I got a request for this.

I wish to apologise for the nasty lump at the base of the thumb, but it seems to be a fault or another in Zbrush's way of handling zscripts... I had two more failures with this particular zscript, so I didn't give it another try. perhaps one of the masters of this forum can help out?

anyways, see you all on another thread

yeah i enjoyed it you might want to make the sphere a little wider when you start because when you was pulling on the fingers it was even getting thinner which when you was editing on the thumb which was thin thats how you got that crease in it..
just a thougth but it was good thank :tu: :tu:

glad you liked it , EZ. I hope others might find it useful as well. thx for the suggestion. (I *swear* it was OK when I was modelling it... :( )

with all the pulling on the fingers its hard to get some good details on it.
soooooo make each finger seprate and use the "MultiMarker" and mark each finger.

thanx for the suggestion, EZ. this figner looks riped enough for cutting :)

Thanks. I used your techniques after watching your tutorial to make the hands for my "The Spell" image. Doing the hands was something I was *not* looking forward to.

[cneofotistos]

Nice script Christos. I have done a few hands and have taken a different approach, building up the fingers, rather than stretching. My way I usually end up subdividing and smoothing alot. It doesn't look like you had such a problem. It's a great help seeing a different way of doing things. I'd like to try some spherender multimarker some time.
