In this exercise, then, we want to become familiar with the way in which the Pelt Mapping tool set works. Once we have done that, we will be able to move on and take a look, in our next exercise, at actually making use of the Pelt Mapping system. The first thing I want to do here, then, with my hand geometry selected, is hit the P key to switch over to a perspective view. And then, after isolating the selection, use the alt key and middle mouse button to swing the view around so that we can see the back of the hand. Now, essentially, as its position in the roll out suggests, Pelt Mapping is really just a variant of 3ds Max's Peel tools, one that works in a very specific…
