Hands and feet

Following the tutorial that I posted up in the last blog post, I have finally managed to model the hands.  It only took me about an hour, but I didn't get round to it until today because of stuff involving the other unit.

It turned out to be fairly easy to model the hands, simply involved making extrusions in a polygon cube with 4 subdivisions and with the 'Keep Polygon Faces Together' option turned off.

The tutorial also showed me how to make fingernails, which I managed to do by cutting and extruding faces in the fingers.

I was so pleased with myself that I also decided to put some nails in the gorilla's toes as well, using the same method.

The next step is to model Cornelius' head and face; this is the part which I am most anxious about because I have already made several unsuccessful attempts at modelling a face.  I hope that I can get this done by tomorrow, because if I don't, I will officially be behind schedule.
