Hand Modelling

CucumberLemon

Hey, I am having trouble finding solid information on the types/best of techniques here are to model a hand in Maya as well as the recommended topology for it, to be able to use for animation(There are many version unsure which is best to use). I would like to ask what are your favorite methods or recommended topology layout?

It depends on your target resolution. We have some good examples here (scroll down), plus at the top some examples showing how the joints can be made in different ways depending on the kind of deformation you want, and the resolution you need.
