These videos reveal the artistic and technical approach that CG artist Jeff Unay takes to model a hyper-realistic hand with Autodesk Maya and Autodesk Mudbox.
In part one you will see how to sculpt the primary forms of the hand. In part two you will follow a 2 hour time-lapse of sculpting which include Jeff's comments. In parts 3 and 4 you will continue detailing the hand and preparing for deformations. In part 5 you will see how to incorporate blend shapes for use in conjunction with the joint rig. Part 6 concludes the series through sculpting the finger and thumb deformations with a look at the final result of all shapes working with the joint rig.

Simplymaya is proud to present, from the far depths of the sea, the sea creature modeling and texturing tutorial. This tutorial will start off by creating image planes to help us achieve our basic shape and size in nurbs.
