However, there are a few things we can examine in order to understand the rigorable topology more fully. So lets check it out. One area that I skipped ahead on was the hand, and you can see it's pretty standard. It looks fairly grid-like, pretty simple. But there are a few things that can help you make these fingers more efficiently. One thing I did is make sure that each finger had eight edgeloops going down the length of it, and this results in a nice end cap that has four polygons on it. Now if you have five or six or seven or nine edgeloops going down the finger, that can also work too, but it can become a little bit more cumbersome or tedious to make nice end caps on the fingers.
