This is looking great so far. It'll be important to get the metal joints looking smooth, sub-d would be the best bet for this. Fortunately you have a ton of good reference (reverse-image searching on your ref board pointed to some ebay listings)
Hello. Here is my portfolio: https://www.artstation.com/alvordr. I have a mix of hard-surface and organic modeling background with a degree in Game Art & Design. I don't see any of your criteria being an obstacle. I would be happy to discuss this with you, if interested.

Hi everyone, I've done a search on these boards but couldn't find what I'm looking for. Any unfortunately, Google wasn't my friend today because the only useful tutorials I found are not for Max.

I would expect the final shading (normal map applied) to look off for each part that's reusing texture but that has mesh shading that's different than the part…
Small update / extra question: Thanks again for the suggestions. I looked at a few portal VFX tutorials, but most of them are more focused on Niagara particles or gameplay portals. What I’m still struggling with is mainly the material/shader structure itself. Right now, my biggest issue is that the portal still feels too…
I finally got a bit more time to carve away at this model. I was really hoping to push more on him last month, but that wasn't in my favor. Here's my current update. I tried seeing what the helmet might look like on him, but it doesn't go well with the current concept of him I am working from. Fits better with the cleaner…
