本篇为第六篇 《HandModel（手部模型）》 ，该类主要用于连接控制器和手部模型，以及处理手臂、肘部、手掌、手指的位置和角度等信息。
Handmodel is the base class for all the other hand scripts. If you are creating your own hands and need a custom hand script to go with them, extend HandModel and implement the Init() and Update() methods. You may need to extend the FingerModel class, too.
手部模型是其它手部脚本的基础类。如果你想创建自己的手并需要一个自定义的手部脚本添加在上面，那么就需要继承HandModel类并实现它的Init( ) 和 Update( ) 方法。同时你还需要扩展FingerModel（手指模型）类。
The base class for all hand models, both graphics and physics.
所有手部模型的基类，包括图形的和物理的。
This class serves as the interface between the HandController object and the concrete hand object containing the graphics and physics of a hand.
该类是HandController（手部控制器）对象和包含了图形及物理手模型的实体手的借口。
Subclasses of HandModel must implement InitHand() and UpdateHand(). The UpdateHand() function is called in the Unity Update() phase for graphics HandModel instances; and in the Unity FixedUpdate() phase for physics objects.InitHand() is called once, when the hand is created and is followed by a call to UpdateHand().
HandModel类的子类必须实现InitHand() 和 UpdateHand()。 UpdateHand() 函数在Unity脚本的Update() 方法阶段被调用时，用于图形 HandModel的实例；而在Unity脚本的FixedUpdate()阶段调用时用于物理对象。InitHand() 只在手部创建后被调用一次，之后UpdateHand()被调用。
