Thx for your advice mate, hope you will get to see a good original turtle-work of mine in the near future!!! :D

So I was wondering what would be a good thing to start off with when you're just picking up modeling?

When I try it in the itemtest it's like behind his ass basically idk what the fuck I've done wrong fuck this is frustrating

I just realized the problem, when I imported the rig, it was for some reason lying down, so I changed it using the rotation tool and that's why the mask wants to go back there... Thx anyway man. Btw you still haven't done that video on making good display pics in source filmmaker.

What do you mean by "using y-up axis"? is that any different from regular importing and if so how?

So I was trying to follow helljumper's "new" tf2 modeling tut (beta import) and instead of making a hat I decided I'd make a mask. I am currently at the point where I need to assign the mask to the bip headbone (or maybe some other bone??) but when I do exactly what he did in the video, for some reason the mask relocates to somewhere behind the rig, on the "floor"

Please help me as quick as you can.
