Hand

I created a hand by starting with a box. I widened one ene of the box and close the other end. By adding sections to the box I was able to extrude the widened end for my fingers. For the thumb I had to make sure I extruded this at an angle as your thumb sits to the side of your hand. I did this by selecting it and rotating. I made sure that the NURMS Toggle was switched on which allowed me to see the hand with a curved surface. To add fingernails to the hand I selected the top elemend of the finger, I then extruded them so that the appeared raised and then beveled the top. For the thumb I had  two parts to the nail so I had to ensure that the were attached for this to work as one.

Below is my hand with NURMS toggle turned on (before I put material on).

I found the tutorial for this hand fairly easy to follow. I used the skills I had learnt from the class based tutorials which I think helped my understanding.
