In case anyone had other occasions where they did not decode my sarcasm, when i said Operaguy's recording sucked, I meant it was great. When I said he should not have used software to record it, I was being sarcastic - because the point of these tools is to save time and not do things by hand, and to take advantage of the work of others to solve existing problems and build upon those solutions.

Frankly I don't see why they're so keen to model hands over and over again. They should start with the V4 model and then spend the same amount of time improving or varying the hands, instead of starting from scratch.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
