DiscoverBot - Hands

The hands are a rather simple component. Much like the boots they're not heavy on the number of parts. To allow more freedom; I'm going for floating fingers/thumbs; much like the hands. It'll allow me to push reality slightly if the hand needs to hold something; but the fingers are too short to go around it. Depends on how well it works really... it might actually be easier to have fingers; depending on whether this setup will look good...

The basic palm is nothing crazy. A sphere with a cone on the end. Just for style; the cone has been pushed in a bit to create a nice dent. It just looks a little bit more stylish than a flat cone, after all. Everybody knows that...


Just for more style; another Torus trim has been added to DiscoverBot (I love my Torus' this semester)

And it's then just simply a case of putting in the fingers and thumb. Just a lot of spheres with a bit of scale tool applied to different dimensions. They've been linked to the main hand; so if that moves; all the digits will move with it too. Handy that (Pun unintentional)
