Every time Chris uploads I look at the profile picture notification and I'm like "wait, who's that?" and then it hits me that we're blessed with another legendary animation lol
While I find it a bit uncanny how all fingers were able to circle at the same time, it's amazing how realistic the hand looks even without textures. The nerves alone already sells it for me.
The uncanny part is how the fingers are so incredibly mobile and independent. Most people can't curl their pinky while keeping their ring finger fully extended.
Yep, and even when passively moved (e.g. by another hand) most joints at the base of the finger don't allow for quite that much range of motion, since they're elliptical joints and not ball-and-socket
@@vulfura Tendons are what muscles turn into at their ends/how they attach to bones, so if you were missing any tendon, you'd have less mobility than average, not more. :P Sounds like you've just got more precise neurologic control of the muscles controlling that hand! It's more about nuance in terms of neuroactivation than it is about gross anatomy, really. Usually people who can isolate a finger relatively closely to this are piano players or similar ... since you said only on your left hand, I'm guessing you play guitar or violin or something else with a lot of dextrous left hand activity? I could be wrong but it's fun to guess lol
woooow, the tendon placement is anatomically correct! they go all the way up to the carpals & everything! rigging the tendons in addition to the hand bones makes perfect sense. they're like a second set of smaller/more flexible 'bones' that drape over the real ones - rigging both would enable more precise control over the model while enhancing the sense of realism. incredible work, i'm so inspired!
This rig actually looks really realistic. The joints of each finger are able move around freely while still being restricted (like actual hands!!!!!). I must congratulate you on your amazing ability to animate humans so beautifully!
Its about tendons, not joints, it shows how the muscle part react to moving the rig/bone, and he done it realisticly, but yeah rigs nowdays have applied limit rotation so it simulate real movement :)
I don't understand why it looks so perfect and real. No texture, no ray tracing, no special lighting. Just a model, animation and interaction. But it still... feels so real! This channel is worth having notifications set for any new content! Can't wait for 2024 to see your next video! 😄
I don't believe for a second that anyone in this thread did it with actual isolation, that is, truly holding the other fingers still, unless 1. You only tried it with your index finger (cheat mode), or 2. You've played piano or some other relevant instrument for many years. It can be trained, for sure -- but neurologically, virtually no one can just execute that sort of specific isolation without lots of repetitive practice e.g. years of piano, especially if you're trying to isolate the motion of the ring finger or pinky finger. (Also bending at the middle of the finger alone doesn't count; the video clearly depicts elliptical joint movement of the joint at the base of the finger, not just hinge movement at the first interphalangeal joint.)
For fully realistic movement, you have to account for the fact that fingers don’t have fully independent movement. The flexor profundas/superficialis and extensor digitorum muscles are multitendon muscles, which restricts degrees of freedom. Probably why this animation looks “creepy”, it’s not totally accurate human anatomy
@@rq4740 the tendons part is the accurate one, when people make hands its just with your average bones for animation. Sure its not 100% accurate but its more than enough.
keeping not only the passion but improving the quality for so many years, truly admirable Don Chris Jones, here is a follower who is still waiting for "The Passenger" in 1080p, greetings from Paraguay.
It's interesting because tendons and veins were really a thing in Ghostwire: Tokyo, when Akito moves his hands on the screen and lowers his fingers, his tendons react accordingly and realistically. I love the new details 3D modelers and animators apply nowadays, it's interesting.
Wow. I wonder how long this took. I appreciate the work put into the underneath structure ( which seems to consist of bone and tendon meshes). Great work 👍👏
Yours are by far the most complex rigs I've seen, even for just a hand. Obviously the animation isn't perfect, but it does perfectly showcase the capabilities of the rig.

Chris is quite mysterious, with big gaps between uploads, he always comes up with something so much realistic, that even without textures it's convincing
i can't fathom the amount of artisanry, math and effort put into modeling, rigging and animating a hand to make it look lifelike to the point that uncanny valley is almost unnoticeable
These hands are EXTREMELY well optimised. Genuinely incredibly impressed. My hands look robotic and once they curl up it genuinely looks like.. well curled up sausages.
as someone who is currently studying 3d art, this is so cool and so terrifying!!!!!! rigging is still a total nightmare for me, i can't even imagine the amount of hours of practice you need to be able to get something like this done

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
I'm always amazed how natural the muscles and bones seems to move naturally with the hand. Clean polygon flow and great details. I still struggle with making hands deform properly. I still look at hand references but it's not easy to master. Chris must have studied a lot of anatomy.

Nerves? If you mean the bits that stick out down the back of your hand when flexed, following behind your fingers those are the extensor tendons

I can't say I'm an expert but the fingers in that simulation just feels jelly and uncanny, the movement is way too unnatural.
Fingers don't really do that swivel motion, if you know what i mean.
I stopped doing 3D work many years ago, but I still enjoy seeing your WIPs and your spectacular work!!
I absolutely do not understand the depth of everything you do but I love it.
those hands got me down malicious
we getting out of the carpal tunnel with this one 🔥
That's absolutely insane, I haven't seen something animated and rigged like that, it is anatomically correct and it looks GORGEOUS
It is anatomically almost correct, the fingers have too much movement around the knuckles compared to a normal hand
Only Chris casually returns after a year just to bless you with more _handy_ animations
Only Heisenburg casually makes all these generic, annoying as hell comments on every single fucking video you see
Good one lol
What’s crazy is that I was binging all of this guys videos last night. I think I was subconsciously preparing for his return.
