Change grip on object

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

When picking up an object, the human model’s hands may not be positioned correctly on the predefined grasping points due to obstructions or reach exceedance.

 

This task has different results depending on the number of hands used to grasp a given object. If one hand is used, the object is attempted to be held in the center of the palm. Using one hand is ideal for grasping tools because it is more likely a tool is grasped in the correct position, and is therefore more likely to be used successfully by the human model.

 

When two hands are used to grasp an object, the human model aims to hold the object in a ‘comfortable’ position in front of the body.
