When I play an FPS title, I find myself looking at the hands a lot. That’s to be expected!
More often than not I expect the hands are a skinned mesh, to a skeleton that closely represents the underlying bones of a hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I can’t help but think, what would it look like if we did more?
Can we preserve volume better? Can underlying Tendons, Bones and Fat be represented?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I’m starting a project to test these ideas.
I’ll test the effects of different topology, corrective blendshapes, additional helper bones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
