This is nice! You're pretty close to fully nailing his likeness. The only areas in need of correction at this stage are the lips (wider with a slightly vertically shorter upper lip and better defined volumes surrounding the lower ones) and forehead (it's a bit too wide and undefined on the sides). Everything else is just…
Yeah, what I mean is that if you rely on automatic weights then sure enough you don't want any of the bones that are not supposed to contribute anything to the character anatomy (like that root floor bone you seem to have) to be part of the automatically generated influences. So one good way to do that is to have a…
Well, the way to think of it is to consider the visual representation of the bones as just that - a visual representation. Therefore you can just ignore the fact that the lines shoot out to the sides, and it will re-export just fine. Now of course if you need to rely on any tool operating on the assumption that there is a…
Show me your portfolio god dammit! I think especially in these times it hard to get a job in the industry and it becomes ever more important to keep updating and advancing your skills but also your portfolio. Coming to sites like Polycount help a lot to as your able to network with individuals all over the world, i…
Maybe it's just because of my Lightwave roots, but Modo just seems like a completely natural way to work for me. Max and other programs I've tried always seem to introduce a sort of weird distance between the user and the thing they're trying to create, whereas Modo seems a lot more tactile in how the tools respond.…

I agree with what Dataday and konstruct wrote above. I think the picture would benefit from a more distinct light source, more planned composition and an increased feel of depth. I also think the landscape and the sky background feel like they are put together from two different images because the colour palette of the sky…
@michi.be If you want to load your custom UI every time you start up Z without having to switch through all the UI what you can do is Preference:Config:Store Config...But there is some bug in Z when you do this, if you have custom stack of the menu in the left/ right (the one that you can hide and expand) the stack will…
I have to say my foray is a bit dissapointing from the start, this is from official Known Issues with 3dsmax 2016: "If you quit 3ds Max with the Default Enhanced Menus workspace active, the menus dont appear after you restart. The workaround is to press X and then search for Enhanced Menus." I'm trying to give it a go,…
My rigging skills are not the greatest, but this should work. Create two unique joints for each end of the hose, one for the arm connection and one for the tank connection. Parent the arm connection joint under the wrist joint, and parent the tank connection one underneath the spine joint or tank join if you have one. That…
