hand

I tried to make a realistic hand as a technical exercise. I sculpted microdetails using custom alphas and a lot of tweaking with standard brushes. I sculpted several fundamental poses using layers… they still need some work.
It’s kind of stunning how complex real hands are, it’s humbling to realise just how far I am from being capable of capturing the kind of complexity I see in the real thing.
The first two images are rendered with vray. Crits and suggestions are welcome, thanks!

Looking great like the clenching fist!

awesome:+1:

oh man, thats great, please show a full break-down on how this was made! Great job!:+1:

very very nice job man, it’s so much real,i liked the texture very much,so awesome :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1:
i want you to excuse me but i should tell you that the thumb is a little big,
but it’ not that bad ,so, good work i like it;)

They all look so cool! I do think that the color is off a bit—which is making the hand look kind of dead. I think if you made use of some SSS it could help it out allot. Also, it looks to me like the skin texture on the palm is really harsh—gives the look of it being kind of pruney; like it has been in water too long. :+1:

it looks like a hand.

model is pretty great

i agree the texture is nice but could be improved

Aren’t the first two images reference shots?.

Some slight shading tweaks:

Hi there
amazing hand !!

5*

Hi Greg,
Impressive work! :wink:
I agreed, 5*

amazing work man… nice “dirty” render… :+1:

I gotta hand it to ya…

Wow. The only thing I could say was maybe a bit of oiliness to your skin shader. Very impressive work. That’s a very interestingly curved line going into the lunar mound on the outside of the palm. I don’t think I’ve seen one so pronounced.

stunning work man

hands are so hard to get right, and you’ve pretty much nailed it

maybe try some different lighting setups aswell, perhaps something that has a little more life to it, and your golden

Great sculpt & texture! The fist sculpt is very good :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: !

woow at first i thought it was your refrence
great work

Hands Up! :+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:

I would like to start off by saying this is high quality work. Your time and efforts really show, this is almost photo real! Great textures and render. I assume you are using the Vray SSS, and it looks great. It is not too much but still has a fleshy lifelike feel. Awesome work all around :+1:.
