In this course we will explore methods for building realistic hands using Maya and Mudbox.
Hands are one of the most expressive parts of many of the characters we create. Because of this, a lot of time should often be spent focusing on the hands. There are, of course, a nearly infinite number of styles in which to build a hand. In this course, we will concentrate on a hand that can go with a more realistic character. We’ll start by talking a little about the proportions and anatomy of hands. Then we’ll go over tools and methods for creating base geometry with topology that will help in sculpting and animating. Then we’ll take the mesh into Mudbox and begin sculpting high-resolution details such as skin wrinkles, knuckles, and skin textures. Finally, we’ll take our geometry and maps out of Mudbox and back into Maya. Once you’ve completed this course, you’ll have a much better idea of how to go about building hands for your characters and how to create the detail you need in a useable state.

Looks nice. Thanks, yo!
Ah! more lovely learning!!!
Thanks…
Thank you so much !!
I know rapidshare isn’t as common as it was, but does anyone have links for RS? Thanks!
Thank you yo,
any one has project files, please share pleaseee
yea i have the project files, they are under the tutorial releases section on the forum, this is my original post, thanks for stealing it yo!
Right, well.. reposting something someone shared on a warez site is now stealing. Duh.. hadnt i reposted it, someone else would certainly have. AND THEY WILL SOON, all over the internets. Least unlike them i repost stuff not to my own profit, believe it or not.
Why not give a notice to others about not reuping your stuff?
You might as well contact site admins about this thread’s removal. They might take it into consideration.
And there are program files, btw (your original upload)

Rapidshare Links pLz….
I beg you! rapidshare links please!
Yes! RS please!
RSSSSSSS!
i am interested to cg persia so i will downlord to this toolbar and
go to this page also I have just read to tutorials.
thanks a lot dear.
why are these not posted as torrents?!
Thanks for the project files. I mean it.
I don’t understand why people share DT Tutorials without project files, so much. I’m sick of whining for project files under every single topic.
Where did you find the project files seemto have gone from everywhere.
Totally agree about missing project files such a bummer.
all links dead, I guess I will looks elsewhere…
I take that back, fileserve is still up.
Nice up
Anyone have the project files not on fileserve and torrent is also missing.
Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result). Thank you.
