I have been able to figure out how to texture a person for the most part, but I am having trouble with the hands. The lines on the palms and knuckles seem very difficult since they are so small. Does anyone have any advice on how to speed the process up, or any resourse that may help?

Or am I left to do the hands the same as the rest of the body?

anyone notice new forum formatting??

sorry !!did not mean to post this here but it seems i am locked out of "normal posting"

Unless you are using a merchant resource, there is no way of really hurrying the process unless you do one finger and copy/paste to the other three, and then do the thumb.  Then copy/paste to the other hand and flip the layer...  The best textures are made by hand, painted by hand and it's not a quick process.  I blend merchant resources, photo textures/brush textures and painting to not only the diffuse, but the bump and displacements as well.

Do you have a subscription to 3d.sk?  They are the most reliable source of human resource photos.  If you aren't familiar with them, go to the site and look around.  Most of packages they sell have high quality hand texture photographs.  Also consider investing in an app that will create good quality bump, displacement, and normal maps.  These can go a long way to improving your texture.
