Sketchfab 3D Scanning Challenge: Hands

High five! We use our prehensile, multi-fingered appendages everyday so let’s celebrate the awesome result of millions of years of evolution – this week’s 3D scanning challenge asks you to 3D scan a hand!

A potentially tricky scan in a number of ways: a live subject, lots of occluding elements… Maybe you’ll need to ask a friend to give you a … hand with this one (sorry). Once you’ve made your scan, feel free to retopologize, remix or animate it in some way too.

Update! The winner is… The Hand of a Mother by noe-3d.at

Here’s a collection of hands to show you what’s possible:
