Wow! That looks excellent in motion. The animation of the different interconnected parts looks great.

Go on, tell us the render time. I bet it’s something monstrous…

Render time: over 60 hours or 15 min / frame; export time 2 hours

Exporting the animation was a real pain. I can only export 10-15 frames at a time. After that they time to export a frame went from 30-60 seconds to 4 minutes. I used several computers to help with the rendering.

Now I just need a body to go with the arm.

Setting up the different fingers with interjoint tubes was a pain to set up.

Very nice :slight_smile:

Hand is cool, arm is a bit too ‘sharp’ in its edges.

Yeah, setting tubes is a pain.
