| We have a triangle to get rid off at the base between fingers. First do a knife cut as shown. |
![]() |
| Merge and quadify. | ![]() |
| Depending of the exact hand you are doing, you may want to merge the 2 vertex here. It really depends, none 2 hands are the same. This small quad can be usefull or introduce artefacts. | ![]() |
| Divide the left edge. Merge the 3 vertex on right. Quadify. Repeat for 4 fingers. | ![]() |
| Move selected edges to have a nice shape (you may turn on subsurf to check). | ![]() |
| Knife cut at midpoint. | ![]() |
| Move vertex according to picture (the farest one need to be rotated) . This will be the first hand ridge. Quadify. | ![]() |
| Move edges according to picture | ![]() |
| Knife loop cut (midpoint). Reshape corners of the cut | ![]() |
| Quadify. Reshape. | ![]() |
| Divide. Quadify. Reshape. | ![]() |
| Intermediate loop between main ridges. | ![]() |
| Move back border loops to create room for second ridge. | ![]() |
| Second ridge position | ![]() |
| Thumb base ridge. you will have to divide some edges and rotate. | ![]() |
| Divide here. Quadify. | ![]() |
| Again. | ![]() |
| And again. | ![]() |
| Quadify. | ![]() |
| Rotate. | ![]() |
| After some cleaning and shaping, you get a nice regular mesh, with edges placed neatly to add details later | ![]() |
| Rotate. Quadify. | ![]() |
| Midpoint knife cut. | ![]() |
| Again. Shape a bit. You can now quadify the rest of the triangles. | ![]() |
| extrude thumb. resize and smooth tip, taking care that the thumb is often much larger than high. | ![]() |
| Extrude. You will need to rotate tip as you go. | ![]() |
| Reshape base of thumb. | ![]() |
| We wont go in details in shaping the thumb, it is exactly like previous fingers except there is only one joint. | ![]() |
| We only need to mark the ridges now. exact Knife cut near the ridge line, then a second midpoint cur inside. Quadify each end. | ![]() |
| Move inner edges down. | ![]() |
| Again. | ![]() |
| And again. Congratulations you have finished the modelling. You will still need some tweaking, but the difficult part of the job is done. |
