Cant figure out edge loop alignment.

Hi, I have tried multiple times to contruct a nice retop on my hand sculpt, but it seems like the edge loops are messed up. Im not really sure what I am doing wrong, but everything seems to not align properly.  

Great tutorial so far, really enjoying it :)

    Hey Lars, are you wanting those first selected loops to line up, or what is it that should be aligned? Ideally the loops shouldn't criss cross too much, but so far it seems like you're on the right track. 

    Mind if I look at the file? It's a bit hard to tell what to do from the screenshots. (Pasetall.org is good for hosting blend files). Also, it looks like the normals for the thumb are inverted, which can be fixed by selecting everything and pressing Ctrl+N (make normals consistent).

    Hi, thanks for reaching out. 

    Yeah it seems like while some loops do align, others tend to spiral, causing them to criss cross. I have tried fixing the geometry, but I cant seem to solve it.

    I would love to share my files with you, unfortunatly the PasteAll.org site does not work in this situation, since the file is too large. Also thanks for the invertion tip!


    Perhaps I can send you the file via email or Sketchfab?

    Hey Lars, Sketchfab, Dropbox, or Google Drive would all work! Also if you tag me with @ jlampel in a reply, I'll get the notification to come check it out since I'm not notified about comments on other people's tutorials.

    @jlampel Hi agian, since the last time I asked for help I have figured it out and will probably complete the tutorial. Thanks anyway :)
