Hi Bram,
I created a 3D pointing finger and I've attached the .ol file that you can load up into your Illustrate Symbols library. It's only a surface model, so you'll need to have your filters set to show surfaces to see it in the illustration and to have a thumbnail created for the symbol.
I created it using the free manikin that is available to Creo Parametric users. There's a bit of messing about to get it out but the process is as follows:
- Create an assembly and assemble in the manikin.
- Apply the posture that you want.
- Export out the model as a STEP file (change from the default STEP format of Ap203_is if you want the colours to come through. I use Ap214_is)
- Re-import the STEP file to Creo Parametric and then delete all the bits of the manikin you don't need.
- Export out the remaining bits of the assembly as a shrinkwrap (to make it a single part)
- Open the shrinkwrap
- Save it as a Creo View PVS file
- Grab the OL file that is created to go the PVS file and that is your hand geometry
I've probably got my quality settings too high as I go through this process, so the OL file is a bit big. I'll get around to fixing that one day.
Hope this helps.
Allan
