III hand back topology


Now that we have a rough, we will cut the topology needed to show knuckles and other features. We still dont aim for the realistic result yet, the goal is to get the topology right.

Using subdivide tool on the hilighted vertices, then rotating needed edges, get result similar to next picture. keep things all quad except in central vertice of the wrist
The result you must get. Use axis constrained scaling to get nice straight lines.
For each future finger, select the central and the 2 border lines, use the knife (midpoint cut) in a circular loop for knukles and tendons.
Round the shape around knukle.
We want to transform the single vertex of the knukle top in a nice losange. To acheive such result, select the vertex, move it a bit laterally. Use knife on the longer edge. Then subdivide the central edge of losange. Move the new center down. Remake all quads.
Select as shown, raise the vertex to form knukles and tendons.
Create a new edge loop, quite near to the other.
Select as shown. do a knife cut (exact line).
Merge the new vertexs.
Rotate the shown edge.
Rotate edge next to it, quadify as shown.
Merging 3 vertices at a time, and quadifying should get you to this state.
Merge 2 vertex as shown.
Quadify as shown.
Rotate the edge shown on the right. Subdivide the one on the left.
Quadify and reshape.
Merge the 2 vertexs.
Here is the subsurfed result. It shows a nice flow of all the edges without any pole bigger than 5 edges.
