One of the best videos on the subject I've seen, and it shows the power of Max in a field that many people think only Maya is good at. Thank you, Alireza Akhbari!
We definitely need more vids such as this one and more effort from Autodesk to push Biped and character animation in general further, 3dsMax deserves to be the best in the business.

Thank you for all the effort you've put into this tutorial! What a comprehensive and in-depth video, remarkable. I'm very impressed with the retopology workflow involving the Boolean and Retopology modifiers - if we could create guidelines in the latter, it would be absolutely perfect.

Phenomenal video, guiding us through the whole process in such a great detail! Awesome tips! Thank you, Alireza Akhbari!
Autodesk, please give Biped and Skinning some more attention, they're amazing tools and could use some much needed modernization.

[laurynasdvareckas]

Awesome, just what I needed. Thank You. Only a week ago I was tasked to make a character for a game

3dsmax is king and is the best ever. Best UI ever developed.
Compared to Blender it makes Blender look like old CD clip art😂
Been a max user since 1999.
Back when Mental Ray and Character Studio were still separate plugins....and when max was owned by Discreet.
I still have my old Discreet Combustion and Plasma install disks.

[UnKnwn]
