I have a dream of using 3dfa for some rather sophisticated hand/arm animations (interactive) to illustrate various aspects of piano technique. Any suggestions? I am a piano teacher, but not an artist - but would like to make the hands as realistic-looking as possible, with joint movements similar to the kind of thing carnwath has been posting. I've thought of trying to load bitmaps and move through sequences, but it would be hard to do smooth joint bending, etc. (I think). I would like to be able to do top-view, side-view, and perhaps an "angle view" from the top right, or top left.
