model

A main goal of the project is to make the model as realistic as possible. The palm will be made of a torus with planes between them. This will give the palm thickness around the outside and slightly thinner through the middle. This is much more realistic than a flattened sphere. The fingers will appear best as cylinders and spheres. Each joint will be a sphere so, when the finger is bent, the sphere rounds out the joint. Cylinders will also appear best for the actual hand. The thumb will have similar structure, but many more capabilities, similar to a human thumb. Also, some different additions will be required for aesthetic appeal.
