Many Poser figures have fully articulated hands. When you move a finger, the appropriate knuckle(s) bend. You can pose hands for both these figures and older Poser figures without articulated hand joints by applying hand poses from the Library palette.
The Left Hand and Right Hand cameras use the hand as their centers of rotation, making it easier to create precise hand poses.
Use the Editing tools to pose hands as you would any other body part. Please refer to The Editing Tools for information on using the Editing tools. You can also apply preset hand poses to any Poser figure using the Hands category in the Library palette, just as you would any other pose.
When you select the main portion of a hand (labeled Left Hand and Right Hand in the Item Select menu) on some Poser figures, you may also see a special set of hand parameter dials in the Parameters palette. These dials are as follows:
In addition, many Poser figures include several additional controls that provide extremely fine control over hand poses. These additional options, coupled with the extra joints in their hands, provide fine enough control to pose your hands holding chopsticks or other eating utensils: These additional dials are usually found in the Hand Controls section in the Parameters palette when you choose the hand actor for the figure.
