Do you thing modeling a hand is difficult? Think again. This tutorials will show you how to model a hand fast. The hand model created in this tutorial is not a detailed one. But the techniques is applicable to any hand in any detail. Let's give Naruto a hand, I mean literally

Modeling A Hand

1. You will create hand using separate object. First, create a box in Top viewport. Use values like image below. Convert box into Editable Poly.

Activate Edge selection. Select both two edges like top left image. In Edit Edges rollout, click Settings button right next to Connect. In opened dialog box, enter Segments=2 and click OK. Note: I will create only 4 fingers. I combined two fingers as one. If you want 5 fingers use Segments=3

Repeat above process with other 2 sides. Look at bottom left image for reference. Use Segments=1

Next, focus on side which defined segments=2. Select newly created edges, in Right viewport move edges to the left.

2. Select 3 polygons. In Edit Polygons rollout, click Settings button right next to Bevel. In opened dialog box, enter Bevel Type=By Polygon, Height=10 and Outline Amoount=-0.8. Repeat the same process to add Bevel again

3. Select and rotate vertices in each finger. When finished, select one vertical edge like right image below.

4. In Top viewport, move selected edge a little bit down. Change to Polygon selection. Select one polygon. Use Bevel two times to create thumb.

5. In Top viewport refine vertices position. When finished select several vertices in thumb and rotate in Right viewport.

6. Next, use Cut to cut in several places. Use image below for reference.

7. Rotate view until you can see the wrist area. Modify vertices position to create bigger wrist section.

8. Move, scale and rotate hand, so it is positioned exactly in front of lower arm. Attach hand into body object. Then select polygons opposite each other. Use Bridge to connect hand and lower arm.
