Description
Inspired by the speed modeling sessions now taking place at cgtalk.com. For more info, check out the site - there's pretty much nothing else to say except that I'm working on the rest of the robot.C&C always appreciated.

the use of 3d planes (not airplanes, those simple square objects)
I apply very bright white materials to them and turn radiosity on. This way the white planes reflect in the object nicely but also provide the light for the scene.

Fingers look kinda too fat for the actual hand. especially the middle, looks blown up.

Another good piece of you! I'm wondering how you render the 'sketched' images on the left bottom...

Amazing!
Soo tactile - they would be the most tech type of snowboarding glove on the planet if jus tweaked a bit.
Excellent job on this bro! Especially when considering it was "speed modeling" ?!!!!
Greeeat job !!!!

Personally I agree with ~ironsheik although I may not be the best 3d artist in the world... I'm still relatively new... This doesn't grab hold of me.
Don't get me wrong it has style! A lot more style than most!
But there is something missing.
But as a n00b what do I know?

No, I used planes with luminous material and radiosity turned on.

wow very nice, i cant belive you did it so fast too.

amazing polys
lol..or something like that
excellent 3d as always, you know what it reminds me of?....abe...the mudoken
its just like a mudokens hand! but its robotic
*hint* it would be cool if you made a robo mudoken! *hint*

Nice work ethan. Very nice modeling concept. This night I was actually dreaming about you were submitting something

I think that the texturing is what makes the BIG difference in ur work...
awesome job dude!! congrats!

Hey cinema4d buddddy... how'd you go about getting the super shiny reflections??? It's driving me batty... can't wait to see the rest of the robot 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
First of all you need a reflective material. I always use a little fresnel in the reflection channel. Secondly you need an environment. To get super shinny reflections try placing simple planes surrounding your object with a luminous material so that it appears completely white.
You can tweak the planes to get different colors out of the reflection.

nice work with the hand, especially with the reflectiveness of the material... hope that makes sense. anyways I like this, its very cool, and I can't wait to see the complete robot!

dude!,! its the ninja turtle hand!!!! I can't wait to see the whole robot done up! I hope you are having fun with this!

*jawdrop* ah! that is insanely good! those reflecions are amazing!

As with all superskilled 3D modelers I am amazed with lightning. The hand should have at least 4-5 servo-motors in each segment of the finger and the elastic "skin" or else 3 fingers is not enough to do stuff.

ah.. i cant even make a simple hand in c4d... :-/ , but this is great!

Nice, clean modeling. Altho I don't think three fingers would help a robot out if it were to pick something up, especially the middle one 'cause it's a little fatter than the others. Still tho, great modeling, and I like the reflections. nice job

About freaking time you submittted something new, thanks for it, it really spices uo my devwatch.

really clean, i love the white texture, great idea and concept, love the three views
c4d? sweet buddy!

Um, wtf? 8 favorites so far? It's just an HDRI reflected hand that doesn't really look all that functionable. I can see deviantart hasn't seen much good 3d in awhile. They just love stuff that looks shiny. Anyways, the only thing I really have to say is stretch joints out so there is more flexibility or tone down the thickness.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually, it isn't HDRI, it's a radiosity setup which consists of four luminous planes set to different color and intensity - I did put a little work into the lighting.
Functional, not really... my focus of this modeling excercise was to create fluid form, I consider this more of a sculpture than a product.
I agree with you, devart has not seen much good 3d, there just aren't many quality 3d artists here with the exception of a few common names.
Thanks for the c&c

sleek and stylin' hand. Can you easily bend the hand? or is it stuck in that position
dang you and your cinema 8.5, convert to 3dmax already

looks really good! I agree about the material, which looks really nice and glossy, and well the whole concept which is just very cool.
