Description
Summary:Arms and hands have the greatest range of motion of all body parts, which means a massive number of possible positions. We captured the form of arms and hands in all significant poses. The various arm and hand muscles get flexed and extended in dynamic movements, and their form changes with each position. Thus we get unique shapes for each new posture. For this book, we developed a new way to do 3D scans, which can capture all the nuanced shapes of an arm from every angle. Whether it is flexed, extended, abducted, adducted, supinated, pronated or in between, it's all covered.
