Hey there! Thank you for this incredibly eye-opening video! Just to clarify, do you block out the whole character (every joint) on the same BLOCKING layer? And then relax every thing on the same RELAX layer? The NGSkinTools official full-character-skinning tutorial separates the torso, limbs, etc. each into their own layer. As a complete beginner i'm very confused by its method LOL - i think I'll start from scratch over again and do your method! :)
I've avoided weight painting for so long but your technique of blocking in the joints looks so effortless and fun, I want to try again. Do you think it's feasible to get similar results with Maya's default tools? Thank you for the tutorial!
Hi! I'm glad you like the process, not many people call skinning fun! One of the main reasons I use NG is for the relax tool, which is not available in Maya's default tools. You have "smooth", but that is only on a joint to joint basis. What's great about relax is that it factors in ALL influences on surrounding vertices and gives you an average across all joint influences. It's just easier in my opinion
Okay, now show me how he raises his hands up.
can you give this rig?
You can purchase it here! builtbycolossus.com/harlow
Hi it's really fun method! Thank you very much. Just a question ...in the latest version of NG they have changed a bit the UI. Theresn't anymore relax tool: so what do you use?
You're welcome! Under the "set weights" tab, use the option "smooth". Works just about the same :)
How long does it usually take you to rig a full character?
Can I use this in Blender?
No sorry...
@@builtbycolossus No worries it still looks awesome brother!
can this be exported to unreal?
Sadly no... Ninja doesn't use a single joint chain. You'd have to export the alembic animation from Maya and import into Unreal.
T hanks
Hi, thanks for the video. Is there a way to copy weights to multiple characters at once? Thank you
THIS PROCESS NO LONGER WORKS WITH NGSKIN V.2!!! alright everyone pack your bags its time to go home
😂 We still have something very similar. Under the set weights tab, there is a "smooth" button. Which will do pretty much the same thing as "relax".
You can't select verts, the layers tool is ass, the ngstool youtube channel doesn't help anything. This tool has caused me more trouble than good
@shadowmurlock282 @builtbycolossus used on maya 2016 with NGskintools 2 . 4 - it still works, you just need to leave ngtool, click in outliner on model, go to select mode, select verts and go back to painting. Great tutorial thanks
I applied this method to Spyro's eyes 17 years ago. It's a very traditional way. 😊
Wow! Spyro. Respect!
Hi, is there any Ik/Fk snapping tools for this rig ?
There isn't sorry!
Nice tutorial~ not complex method! But I got different result at 2:40. When I rotate eyeball_Jnt, I don't know why the eyeball shap can't fixed at non spheriacl, it will change the shape. I use MAYA 2024
Hi! Glad you liked the tutorial. Make sure you're scaling the rig with the offset group, not the joint itself That being said, I havent tried on Maya 2024!
Nice tutorial! Especially like the pupil scaling control. I think the reason riggers resort to a lattice deformer for this instead of just grouping the joint is because the eye joint is going to be a child of the head joint. If you stick a group node between the head joint and eye joint. . scaling that group won't do anything.
Interesting! I can't test right now, but It should still work, but you'd probably need another offset group to be able to first zero out the initial group. So joint -> offset_group (hold offset transform values) -> group (the group you'd scale) -> joint
If you're using just joints, try turning off "segment scale compensate" in the attribute editor for child joints
@@builtbycolossus Turns out the issue was because I was parenting the eye rig to joints with all sorts of matrix and custom nodes attached to them (mGear rig). Solved the issue by just building the eye rig separately, including the eye joint. ... and just attaching it as a child to the existing rig eye joint.
@@TynanCreationsNice!
Exactly how I approach skin weighting... Though I use the smooth weight tool instead of relax, perhaps, I'll try out the relax method too
hey! how can i export the fbx of this rig? there are no bones
Hi! Unfortunately no, Ninja's skeletal hierarchy is not FBX friendly. You will need to export as an alembic cache if you want him in game engines
Heya so Ive been doing this method for about two weeks, i got it down for the most part but when moving it with the eye controls it stretches out the eyeball, i may have forgotten how to make the eye a solid figure without stretching?
Just wow.
This helped so much!!!!
I really don't get it. The Highres Mesh has only 1 UV tile but the Proxy Mesh has 2 UV tiles. So I can use the highres textures for the Proxy mesh but NOT for the Highres mesh. What am I missing? Did I download something wrong???
I recommend for people who are used to Maya's default skinning to change the Influences display. In ngskintools 2.0 it's under Paint>Display settings > Influences display, and switch to Current influence, colored/grayscale. I began liking ngSkintools so much more after discovering that, where before all I'd ever use it for is smoothing skin weights.
Hi, I was wondering if this rig is game-ready? Exportable to Unreal Engine by any chance?
Hey there! In terms of a single joint hierarchy and mesh, no currently not. You can export an alembic from Maya to Unreal, however. We only currently have 1 UE5 compatible rig and that is Liz, who is rigged inside UE5 using the Control Rig system.
I am very happy that you reply in the comment I want to ask you a question if you can RIG the meta human cloth and make a tutorial and upload it I will be very grateful if you Do it like this because I've been trying for a long time to make a good cloth rig but I can't make a good cloth rig. Can you plz do it and make the video in easy and straight forward .. while i am using ng skin tool and advance Skelton for skin weighting checker

Hi! How did you marquee-select the vertices for your arm? When I try to select the vertices for my mesh, Maya prioritizes the armature for selection, highlighting my rig and ultimately ignoring my component selection. Pressing "CTRL+SHIFT" to toggle the "add to selection" function for Marquee selection yields no improvements. Maya somehow prioritizes the Armature, even while operating in Component Selection mode! If you did nothing in particular to select your vertices, I will assume it is another Maya bug, and move on by selecting via "SHIFT + > and <" hotkeys. Thank you!
Hi! I make sure to turn off joint selection when I use marquee select for verts. Top left of screen selected in blue.
if i understand correctly, this doesn't work with non-cylindrical shaped liquid, correct?
Correct, as is. The workaround would be to make a purely cylindrical geo and lattice that. That geo would then get blendshaped into the final geo that is deformed to the correct shape.
@@builtbycolossus makes perfect sense! thank you
Coming from 3dsmax and Blender, seems like Maya don't want us to rig by selecting only vertices. I was hoping NG would give me the option. But even in this video, you might not notice but everytime you're done selecting your vertices, you press PAINT-FLOOD wich turns off the "select vertex mode", then you have to turn back 'select vertex' every, single, time. I wish they add a proper "vertex selection mode" that stops switching back automatically to "paint mode".
This? th-cam.com/video/TACB6bX8SN0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KPYWhSCqnEujhRnj
man I couldn't agree more, coming from 3dsmax to maya this was and still is a pain
This helped me a lot, thank you for sharing 🔥🔥🔥
You bet!
I can't find 'relax' on the current version. :(
Hi! Under the "Set Weights" tab, and mode is called "Smooth". I've found 2.0 onwards to be a bit buggy using this method, but see how you go!
@@builtbycolossus thank you
@@builtbycolossus I have another question, do you know how I can weight multiple objects at once, I have hair cards but currently I have to do each one individually :/
@@Felix-os5hf I'd create a new mesh that covers the space of all the cards and skin that. Then using a script, copy the skincluster from that main mesh onto all the hair cards. This script should be fine: lesterbanks.com/2015/09/scripting-a-copy-skin-weights-tool-with-python/
@@builtbycolossus Thanks dude ill check this out
How did you select all the points through the mesh like at 1:20? When I do that it only selects ones I can see, and yes I have both camera based selection turned off. Getting suicidal urges
You might need to turn off "Camera-based selection" under common selection options, in the tools tab (hammer icon, top right of screen)
wow, in less of 5 min, he did a job that to would took me 1 day and better
😁
Hey! Do you do rigging & skinning work ?
Hi! Yes on occasion. Feel free to shoot us an email here: builtbycolossus.com/contact
Hey, I bought this rig about a month ago and I was wondering whether there are any textures besides the body textures. I was planning in rendering my animation.
Hey Fernando! Unfortunately, the rig only contains body textures. Adding textures to the robotic arm led to the rig being too slow to use...
@@builtbycolossus would you be able to send me the textures in a separate folder?
@@builtbycolossus don’t worry about it I’ll use other textures
Please make a brief tutorial on how to use ngskintool
i am new , i really hope u explain how u open that skin cluster setting . i think this is nice video
Hi Vac! Yep, there's a couple of ways. Once the mesh is skinned to some joints, you can right click on the mesh -> paint -> skincluster Or you can select the skinned mesh and click on hammer/dots symbol at the top right of your Maya screen
it seems like the relax feature is missing? or am i missing something?
In NgSkinTools 2.0 onwards, it's been moved to the set weights tab and called "Smooth". (I still prefer relax - it's different to how Maya smooths influences)
This tutorial was really helpful! I was wondering how to copy the eye that we make, as I am unable to duplicate it or copy and paste it?
this is good!👍👍👍
Thanks!
Is this applicable for games ?
Hi! At least for Unreal, I couldn't maintain the effect when exporting a single joint hierarchy (turned off the segmentScaleCompensate attribute on the skinned joint) Maybe someone else would know better.
@@builtbycolossus Swimming through the parent space like this requires shear, Unreal does not support shear in its bone matrices. Unity does though.
Thank you for this! im so excited to dabble into mocap with this rig!
Amazing
😁
do you have a good way of skinning the neck? no matter what I do, it always moves so wrong xd
I'm currently making a course going over skinning different parts of the body, but for the neck I do the same as the torso. Flood from the base of the nack up, then keep deselecting and flooding at each neck joint. Final joint should be the head joint and should flood to just below the jaw and ear.
super cool rig! does the hydraulics for the arm extension have bend deformers or does it just go straight out?
Thanks! No bend deformers currently. Just goes straight out. Good idea though
quick question: whenever I try flooding the entire mesh's influence to the root joint, it unbinds the mesh from all my other joints. Why is that happening?
Your influences are all still there, it's just being overidden by NG's layering system. You can treat your first layer like a layer in photoshop. Right click it inside NG to toggle off the root joint influence.
Ooooh ok yea that makes sense I just downloaded it so I'm figuring this out still lol. Thanks
@@MultiNathan29 No worries!
this model is best of i see I'm very lucky to be able to use a great model for free thanks
No worries!
Love it. So chill 😎
😎🍵🎶
super thanks bro
You bet! More tips to come
can this rig used with game engine like Unreal Engine 5 as this would really bring the real potential of this character from gameplay perspective
Hey! You can definitely export the alembic meshes/animations and bring them into Unreal. But since the face rig is a mixture of deformers, not just skinclusters, you can't currently export a single joint hierarchy FBX. I'm hoping to allow for just skinclusters in the future!
Nice model and rig.
Thanks!
