Hi its me again.
Is there a reason why those middle hand guides are missing in the piped?
Are they important? Miquel is creating them in the “Data Centric Rigging 003: Guides Placement 02” youtube video.
Im trying to get my Char skin binded and im wondering why does the finger tips wont get any weight.
Is this normal?
@Jerome
I do the bin skin on the duplicated bones to get different versions. Right.?
Is there any other reason why i dont use the orignial rig?
Yes this is normal behaviour for Maya.
@oglu forgot to mention that I do indeed duplicate the fingers tip joints and extend them so that they have some weights on the biding process.
This controls are something I like to add to deform the hands in some poses. For example if grab something a little bend can give an extra feeling of contact and pressure. Obviously real hand don’t have this articulation and not always wanted. The biped template is the minimal, a base to start 
It depends 
@chrislesage posted somewhere in this forum a little script to add temporal tips to the joint chains. Also check Heat map for hands. Sometimes is a nice starting point.

I created the Proxy Mesh for weight painting.
If im right it does not make much sense to reduce also the head?
Is there more geo needed for the fingers?
I like the idea to have props to show/hide depending of the configuration. That will help with a lot for animation acting and action exercises
some extra ideas (not only weapons):
- 2 katanas. (One in each hand, maybe this can apply to all props)
- lance
- spoon
- fork
- knife
- cigarette
- glass of wine
- phone

Miquel those are great ideas. If i find time i will do a whole scene for him.
I did a first pass on the weights.
Im not sure about the neck and clavical area. He is so massive its tricky.
And im not sure about the ellbow position.
