FREE Blender 3D Model File: drive.google.c... Learn how to Rig a Star Wars ship in Blender with this tutorial! Original Star Wars Model Files: www.mediafire.... Support me on Patreon: / kextnext Instagram: / kext.next
Definitely need a part II for the landing gear! I've got a ship with the same looking landing gear and I have no clue where to even start on rigging it!
I know Im randomly asking but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost the login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
@Harley Phoenix thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Harley Phoenix WTF IT ACTUALLY WORKED! I just hacked my IG password after about 40 mins by using the site. Had to pay 15 $ but for sure worth the money :O Thanks so much you saved my ass !
11:20 the tip to end all tips! I did not know those annoying relationship lines could be turned off!!! That is a game changer for me. :) This was great. I needed to see this.
For sure! At the end when one of the second wings’ empties was still parented to the first, it actually would’ve been helpful to see the relationship lines so that I’d no they’re wonky. But 99% of the time I just think they’re annoying and get in the way, especially when there’s a lot of them.
I dug through this looking for one specific point. I think you're the only one that actually pointed out setting the source axis. Had no idea why I couldn't get the transform constraint to work at all, but you fixed that for me.
Great work you explain everything so well perfect for beginners. Earned a sub. I would love to see a part two with doors and landing gear. Also when I downloaded some of the models from the link the UVs were messed up and I couldn't get the textures to line up. I also don't know what the "S" image texture stands for. I was trying to work with the arc-170 but the UVs were all messed up. How would you fix this? Again great work.
Thank you so much! So the models are all REALLY not ready for blender. For 1 thing, I had to separate all the vertex groups into separate parts. But even besides that, the lambda shuttle had multiple UV maps on it. So if you change what UV map you’re viewing (in object data properties) it might work? There’s definitely a lot of kinks and such when working with them that you just have to fix by playing around with them. I do want to make a part 2, but it would be after a couple videos. P.S. the Arc-170’s one of my favorite Star Wars ships. They look so cool!
Great video! This helped me so much! I was just wondering if you could either make a tutorial or if you know of any tutorials that show you how to fix the textures. Some of the models I imported work, and others are way off and I have no clue how to fix it.
There might be multiple UV maps in the properties tab (I don’t remember what it’s called but the tab with the green triangle) in the UV map drop down, try deleting the one that doesn’t apply to the model.
The arrow controller is neat, really, but if you wanted, would you have been able to just click/drag/move the spaceship wing itself? Or rather, is that specifically NOT possible in Blender? (See I'm a Solidworks person, which doesn't have a "move this to magically rotate that" function.)
You could, but you would have to make sure all the origins are correct, and for the purposes of animation, it would be immensely more work to achieve pretty much the same effect. The purpose of rigging is to constrain how the computer understands how an object’s states can change relative to how the user can understand them. With a simple rig like this spaceship, the amount of benefit from rigging is less than if you were to rig a character. Without a rig in this case, your would have to manually go through and key frame every single little piece in just the right way with equal motion and try to get it to look right (almost like stop motion in the real world where you’d have to move anything you want to have motion). With a character, you probably would not even be able to efficiently animate them without a semi-suitable rig. So rigging is mostly just for animation. If you’re just creating static renders or models, then you can just move what you want to be where you want and call it a day.
Blender Guru's videos have this trick where it auto-displays every single keypress at the lower-left corner. "Shift-R". "F10". You might consider doing that also, please. I appreciate this video very much but holy moly you're really ripping here and I'm all like "huh? what was that? how did he...? he pressed SOMETHING to do that..."
Hi, I finally got this down pat. I was able to rig my airplane... but, now, how do I use that in Unreal Engine? I've read that rigging this way won't help there.... thanks for the video.
And finally, please comment on whether there's even a point to using "bones" in a model that's nothing but rigid parts, like this one. If I'm never doing "bendy" things, then is there even a point to using bones at all?
Again, for the purposes of animation, “bones” are just another way of doing what we did here (maybe even easier to understand too). Bones also have more options for motion control. If you’re just doing rigid objects, whether you use this method or bones depends on what you need it to do and how you want it to move

This was so helpful. I was trying to rig eye-glasses and this is exactly what I was looking for.
thanks to your tut i can finally move the complex Landing gear of my concorde modell. such an elegant way. thx again

@@kextnext Ah, but the repeating stuff is the best learning for viewers. I get a lot from little gaffes about understanding the whys of things.

came back to thank you nearly 2.5 yrs later .
that ship is one of my star wars favorites
This Tut is legendary, thank you.
yes part 2 is what i need, or maybe a tutorial on how to set up a laser firing system. Anyways thanks alot this video helped me set up my X-Wing
Awesome! A bit more work than using bones, but less clutter.

Thanks! That was a lot easier than I thought 😂 I thought I had to do something in UV editing like rearranging the unwrapped pieces.
Haha yeah I remember when I got that model it came with funky UVs for some reason. Glad I could help!
yes please for a part 2... (here 2 years later ) :D

Yes! I do need to turn on Screencast keys don’t I? Haha. I have one video already recorded, but after that comes out, I’ll be sure to turn it on!
Did you ever make a Part II covering the landing gear? Thanks in advance.
really cool, really good , like it
Awesome Stuff, thx
Can you make a part 2?
It works but, i dont understand why in my Blender the World Space & Local Space is switched, really weird stuff
Can you upload on how to texture your star wars model because some of them does not match with uv
Hi, I finally got this down pat. I was able to rig my airplane... but, now, how do I use that in Unreal Engine? I've read that rigging this way won't help there.... thanks for the video.
is it work in unity ????, I know I have to make the anim in unity but i wonder if the constraints work as well in unity.
I have no idea, I’ve never used unity. Sorry I’m no help, I hope you can find out!
You are new generation ian hubbert
can you make a new star wars tutorial?
Yes! I was thinking about making one on a ship fly-by threw a canyon
I could also continue the rigging series though...
@@kextnext it will be good
i appended it and opened it in blender, it didnt work, the constraints werent there
The file doesn’t have the constraints in it, it’s just the model. You’ll have to rig it yourself!
@@kextnext oh
Part 2 pls

nice work, btw its a bit long :)
Thanks! And yeah I noticed. I think if I did a part 2 I would take out the part about mesh controllers which would bring it to like 15 minutes.
