Van Helsing
Sonk on the Modo forums was chatting about morph maps and referred to this example.
The plan is to animate this sequence in Modo.

Using fonts to make a hand
Sketch3d has an [example tutorial] of how to use the Wingdings font in order to create a cartoon hand.
Delete the inner edge by selecting edge and double clicking the inner edge. Hit the delete key.
Create a new mesh item and use the pen tool to trace the hand in front view.
Next create a net to constrain over the hand like this [tutorial video].
Something needs to be done with the jagged outer edge.
Modo Snap Align Tutorial
Brad Peebler just posted an architectural [training video] that shows how to align and snap geometry when moving or rotating. This video is worth watching many times.

Devin sleeping in the cart
This was a rare occasion. Devin won’t sleep in his crib at night, but somehow I got him to sleep in the shopping cart.
That same day we had been up at Snoqualmie Falls just as the snow blizzard hit.
