Lightwave Hand

Lightwave Project
This is my second attempt at organic modeling in Lightwave. I didn't have a tutrial so I just used my own hand (which doesn't really look like this). I used the push /pull tool (Command -T), the Supershift (Command -S), the Spin Quads (Command - K) and the Bridge (l) tools. It took me six hours to model this hand. One of the difficulties I encountered was the need to have some 3-point polygons in this hand. They seemed to fit some curves better than trying for 4-point polygons.	Total Polygons = 752 This is the metaformed box I started with ----------------------------------------------->
