Need MANY hand poses to 3d print. Easist way to do this? Snapshot a hand tracking VR app possible?

If you use photogrammetry, you'll have to take a dozen pics of your hand for each pose, then convert that to 3d, then clean up the model so it's printable. That's going to be a lot of work.

I think the easiest way is to use a 3d rigged hand that can be posed, then converted to a solid shape for export to STL. Perhaps it might be worth your time to hire someone to do it for you if you're not familiar with modeling or rigging? Are the character hands in MB Lab sufficient realism for you?

Same answer photogrametry can be quite time consuming. They are some packs of hands in cgtrader you can check out https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/character/anatomy/hand-in-4-poses

Thanks for the replies, yes I find the hands would be fine in MB-Lab and I can get around it a bit (create the model, move some bones around), just can't figure out how to delete the entire model except for the hand.

I didn't mean photogrametry, though now that you mentioned it I can see how it was viewed as such. In the Oculus quest VR, there's hand tracking (where you're hands are the controllers -- the quest "sees" your hands and however you move them (twist, bend fingers, point, etc any pose), it shows up in the VR headset with the model representing those hands, in the actual way you are posing them. I was hoping there would be some way to 'snapshot' the model when I have my hand posed -- I know it was a longshot however figured it woudn't hurt to ask since most of the legwork was done already.

Then you can just keep reposing the armature, duplicate the solid hand, apply as shape, then export. Etc.
