Hand Test

Work in progress test, created with Lightwave and Sculptris. Missing are various muscles, tendons and finer subcutaneous deformations; dynamic wrinkles; squash/stretch (esp. fist fingers); modeling/surfacing refinements and general anatomical correctness. The animation is designed to test rig fluidity and range of motion, not realism. I shall address these things if I can think of a way to justify making a properly photoreal hand...

Thanks everyone for the comments!

To reiterate what's in the description: the motion is _intentionally_ hyper smooth and dextrous, in order to check for unwanted pops and clicks in the rig. W.I.P. = Work In Progress.

This hand looks more realistic than mine and it's freaking me out..

It feels weird because normal hands don't move that smoothly

[ilovedumplings]

Bruh i thought this was for testing our hands so i started moving my hand like the video-

Fact: I am not the only one who's trying those hand moves while watching.

No human has that smooth hand movement, its more shakey.

When you realise this was 8 years ago and 10 times better than movies and games back then

This was made in 2012. Imagine what they are working on now.

Great work, but the biggest complaint I can think of is its fluidity. Real hands move much more abruptly and at different speeds. The flexibility and fluidity of this hand is what makes it look the most unrealistic.

You can see the muscles/tendons on the top of the hand when the fingers are moved but on on the inner wrist, tough the fact that you can see any tendons at all is breath taking.

Who knew Uncanny Valley worked with hands?

[spooderman]

i saw that on Facebook blender fanpage thought it was recently done and impressed, but OMG its like 12 years ago, im more than impressed 💯

[LAKD]

I think YouTube's algorithm wants a hand. It's trying to communicate to us by recommending us this

[Alexxss]

Literally every superheroes when they found them superpowers:

Remember me in the next eight years when this is recommended to everyone again

This was 8 years ago, if this guy worked for movie animations he would be world wide famous.
