This tutorial is showing you fast and efficient method for creating human hand modeling in Maya. The hand model is being created with reference image and it can be downloaded from any site. In 3d modeling, mostly models are created through reference images because it deals with accuracy and quick approach to the concept. Once you have downloaded the reference image then open it in Autodesk Maya. When you split the viewport into orthographic mode, it automatically shows you four different views of human hand. It makes you ease in working with your model. Go to polygonal primitives and choose polygonal cube. Maximize this cube and resize it to the palm of hand. Select the side and front part of this cube and apply extrude command to make fingers and thumb with just little cube. You can set the alignment properly only if you are expert in vertices manipulation because you can add or remove vertex in such kind of model. The real geometry setting will take enough time for the making of finger and thumb shape. After shaping process, take another polygonal box and use it for finger modeling. It is also required to extrude and revolve command. Once you have created it then rest of fingers will be created with mirror method. The finally model will be received after this process. You can follow this video tutorial for the guidance in your project.
