Tutorial: My New Rigging Workflow in Blender
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 พ.ค. 2024
- In this tutorial we'll be rigging two different things! One is a six legged creature, and the other is a hand. We'll be using Inverse Kinematics and a workflow where we make the rig first, and then add the parts later!

There should be a "public gallery of essential Blender tutorials".
This one definitely would be!
FINALLY! I'm 60+. 3D art is still in its infancy to me. Working from the costumes to the bones is absolutely an alien concept. I've always started drawing with the bones for positioning, implying muscles, then working on the skin and clothing. Thank you for showing me that rigging the animal, or human first CAN be done. I'm crying happy tears right now.😂
He really is the GOAT.

Finally a good rig tutorial that isnt just "use mine in the description" or "just use rigify (or other program/site etc.) to spawn in a premade rig!".
Thank you dude!
yes!
One of the highest quality Blender TH-camrs out there. Absolutely love every one of you videos! You cram in so much excellent information with unique ideas, relaxing audio, and amazing end results!!!
Glad you like them!
@Skye: you got that right, brother! (Or sister, as may be.)
relaxing audio!!! you said it perfectly.
@@Polyfjord Man o man if only more people realize to do tutorials like this man!!!! Thank you very much.
i'm a beginner and i can't believe what i do by him !
Would love a tutorial about your animation workflow, your animations are always excellent !
Me too!
This earlier tutorial of his should help. th-cam.com/video/imbIsNAvUpM/w-d-xo.html I was able to make a fairly decent animation by following it.
If you uncheck “lock object modes” under the edit pull down, you won’t have to switch back and forth between object and pose for parenting.
Saves a lot of time and movement when there’s a lot to bind for anyone that didn’t know.
Ommggg!! Nice!!! This is golden
Does not work for me most of time. I wonder if it is a bug.
@@jameslee9639 its a bit wierd, it kinda like saves which mode ur on for each bone and switches back when you select it
maybe ur using it wrong its a wee bit confusing
EXCUSE ME WUT, This'll help me fail SO MUCH FASTER.
Thanks for that
Just something I noticed at the start, when you're doing the bones on each side, you can just make one side and then use the symmeturies operation. This also symmeturieses the constraints and stuff
Yea symmetrize saves a lot of time instead of making it all over again for the other side
Ooohhh nice!! I always thought that was limited to humanoid rigs!! Will try it 👍
But keep in mind to name all the bones with "*.L" (or "*.R" depends on the side :) ) before symmetrize. This will keep it organized ;) symmetrize will name it with the other side index :)
Perfect! Bear in mind that symmetrize seems to only work in the x-axis.
@@sakariheinonen5252 its best to think of it like directions
x axis is left and right
y axis is forward and backwards
z axis is up and down
a reason why the x axis gets mirrored is if you think of human anatomy, its your left and right side that looks the same otherwise it be kinda weird to have a face on your backside or another butt on your front side
I've been looking for IK...for YEARS. THANK YOU!
I've been using your Mechanical Creatures pack nonstop for the past week. It's so much fun!!!
This new speedy tutorial is amazing. Thank you!
I've never seen someone explaining so smooth with so good creature designs. Amazing work ❤
you are singlehandedly teaching me every more advanced idea or concept in blender, and completely causeing me to reapproach how I do mostly everything.
I recommend working on one side and adding _L or .L at the end of each bone or R if you're working on the right side and then when all of them are finished select all, right click and select symmetrize. It'll save you a lot of time.
I've seen other videos that do the same with the .L naming convention. Also what's the difference when parenting bone vs bone with weights?
@@simply_the_dev7588 parenting to bone is best for mechanical rigging and for solid objects like armor and to snap weapons and gear to certain parts of the body like the wasit or in hand while weights is more used for organic models like monsters and people
@@simply_the_dev7588 that's my understanding of those at least
@@JustV_9 pretty much
I am having a problem, when trying to parent the bones together the parent option is not unlocked, what do i do?
MAN WHY I DIDNT FOUND YOUR CHANNEL EARLIER! THE WAY YOU EXPLAIN AND TELL ABOUT EVERYTHING AND SHORTCUT KEYS MAN. TY FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
Your tutorials are SO good! I know there are so many other tutorials out there, but the way you explain is just BLISS! Keep bringing more animation tutorials please! Thank you!
I love the reverse workflow starting with the rig and then modeling around the bones, it is a great approach to creating unique creatures, gotta give it a try! Great video and keep up the great work!
Thanks for this! I've been using Unity for about 8 years and animation has always been the death of my projects. Tutorials like this are making it so easy to just suck it up and "jump in" to learn it!
Thank you so much I was looking for an easier way to create these rigs. You're a life saver. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for watching!!!
Loved that mounted camera angle on the hand!!!
I love your tutorials. Amazing ideas and smart content. Tnx..love it. Keep up the good work👏
I can't even remember if i have ever seen such high quality tutorials. They are simply awesome.
Your tutorials are always quite excellent. Whenever I get a TH-cam notification that you have a new video, I immediately drop whatever I’m doing (which can have unpredictable results) and view it. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, time, and effort to help complete strangers get better.
EDIT: if you’re ever in Kansas, drop by!
I randomly figured out a lot of this stuff after rigging a industrial robot arm, like the ones they have on car factories. Awesome that you share this to other people. It is as you said, it seems a bit like a backwards workflow.
I love your sound effects choices for your projects
Love the creations you make with this method, they look so real and delicate.
Nice tutorial!
You have one of the best content in 3d and Blender, thanks for the tutorial, I'm learning rigging and this is very helpful for me.
You're incredibly talented and I feel blessed that you're giving us these amazing tutorials. I definitely intend on using this workflow for making gauntlets in armour sets for game-ready assets - Previously I've been modelling the finger sections in rest-position, and it can be really frustrating to get that right, and there's always a bit of deformities. Instead, if I model them and parent to an armature, I can change them to their final rest position after the modelling phase, and avoid the guess work involved.
Thank you so much for this again! I've only recently discovered your channel and your videos are incredible, insanely well edited for time, and really informative.
One thing you can do that might speed things up even more: instead of axis locking, set up pole targets in the IK Constraint. The IK constraint will arc the IK chain in the direction of the pole target more or less automatically.
I was thinking the same thing. For the objects he is creating locking constraints makes more sense because there is locked movement in the joints. For other things pole targets would be better then locking. Also if he used pole targets then there may be small movement in unwanted directions.
I have been teaching myself Blender for only a few months, but I am very good at learning visually. Even though you don't cover every little button you press, your tutorials just make sense to me. Thank you for these videos! I just downloaded the free version of your mechanical parts, but as soon as I make some money I'm definitely going to be getting the paid version. I really want to support you and what you do. Big thanks from a poor artist. #hearthands
Great tutorial, very clear.
Thank you so much! This is literally what I have been waiting for, since you teased your kit!
videos are insanely cool, I especially love the hand and the percussion solo.....totally wicked !!
I've always struggled to understand IK but your explanation here totally cleared it up for me
This is literally one of the best tutorials I've ever seen. Completely mind blown
Thanks! This was just the reminder/refresher I needed for my current project at work. I did something entirely different with my rig, but your explanations were so easy to understand that it was just enough to apply for what I'm working on 😄
Husqvarna wanted me to do a showcase of a power cutter and the model I'm working on has an arm extension that can grip onto rails. I needed the arm to rotate in one axis while holding still onto a rail as the power cutter is moving, and your explanation of how to do the IK rigging reminded me of how I could achieve that 👍
This is an EPIC tutorial! Thank you Polyfjord!
@polyfjord: generous artists like you are the best part of TH-cam: really useful information for free. Thanks a ton for your generosity and kindness!
Wow I've watched some rigging tutoraials but never got it right, this is saving alot of time and money thanks poly.
I love the cinematic renders and sound design! It works great where you put them in the video. The sound takes what could otherwise be creepy and makes it playful. Ok, maybe it's still creepy. Nice work!
Thank you so much for this rigging tutorial, now I can use the mechanical creature kit to the fullest❤
Nice!! It's a rigging technique that also works well without the mechanical creature kit, so hope people don't feel pressured to buy my asset pack!
Still, everyone buy his set to encourage/support him :P
Could make my own Thing !! ;) - Wednesday fan here ;) -
i like how you get straight to the point, and make a good cut betweens explanation straightforward. subs!!!!
Wow! Your channel and its contents are getting better and better every day! Amazing work!!!
Great enthusiasm. Very motivating tutorial. Thanks for taking the time.
the camera attached to the thumb was a nice artistic touch, well done
and omfg yes we need nearest-bone automatic parenting
Really the best rigging tutorial I Have ever seen so far!
Loving the tutorials, these are some of the best i have come across.👍
Amazing tutorial, found it very useful. Very clear, very interesting, loved it.
Also, thank you so much for the Mechanical Creature Kit, I found it very useful.
I really impressed by your filming skill, cool rigging tricks though, but those cinematic shots are top notch.
Best IK rig tutorial for Blender. thank you!!
thank you, i've been looking for a good rig tutorial for ages 🙏
Forgot of this! locking too, now can use it, thank'ya!
wow, this is simply amazing!!! your tutorials are so clear and easy to follow!!! thanks a lot!!
Another amazing tutorial! Congrats on the 500k subs!
Hey man. Just wanted to say thank you so much for your excellent YT tutorials. I’m 20+ years as a freelance 2D/3D animator, but relatively new to Blender (a couple of years), and all your tuts are a HUGE help!
I make AE tuts on my own channel, so I’m painfully aware how much time and patience it takes. Much appreciated and more power to you sir! ✌️
Thank you!! 🙌
@@Polyfjord thank YOU. I’m currently inhaling all your videos. 😂
Tysm ❤❤
a true gamechanging tutorial. Thank you!!
This was amazing. I learnt a lot and had fun. Please keep making tutorials :D
This really helps, especially when u have the kit, you can pretty much make anything which is absolutely awesome
Great tutorial video, Thank you!!!
Very nice, I knew most of this but never used the lock functions, super useful thanks for sharing!
OMG - just to have 1% of your creativity would make me the happiest man on the planet. Your work ist simply outstanding.
I searched ages for a way to lock bones to an axis while being in an ik chain, couldn't find anything about it, so I gave up. Now just watching this tutorial I see you can lock axis in the bone tab! I was like no freakin way... fml, it's so simple too...
Big appreciation for this video, thanks very much
Thanks! It's really helpful
Nice video man. You are so good at what u do!
This is amazing, thanks for sharing it !!!
Wow that's an amazing workflow ... I can't wait to try it.
thank you for the tutorial. I really happy can found this one.
One of the best platforms for learning 3D! Truly a 🐐
This tutorial helped me so much when coming to rigging
I like the way the speak, we are relax, your sound of typing on keybord is magic. You use blender as second hand. I hope in the future you will stay a lot on these creatures. It's so easy to whaching you and learning. I can say in may language....Bravo !! By the way I have your product and is amazing, really
Clear, excellent explanation. Very much appreciated! Thank you.
This is great man, definitely gonna include this in my workflow.
Wow, what a great video ! 12 minutes and I undestand clear how to speed up my rig process
The hand with the beat so nice
brilliant work man... Simply Superb...
Excellent thanx 4 sharing your time and effort to help other to leap higher in blender.
Great video on IK
Ooh. This will be Very useful! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. :D
I love this workflow
Amazing work
I just made a creature using the old workflow thinking I was using the newest version lol. But it’s okay. I love my weird pet and the long process got me inspired to try new things. Will be using this and the hooks from the other version to make some cool Polyfjord animations. Thanks a ton dude!
Thanks for this, keep it up. ✌️
Amazing video. Thank you so much
very helpful, thank you so much
I just started learning the basics of blender for 3d printing. This looks incredibly efficient and will be extremely helpful in quickly customizing my models for custom poses! =D
Best blender rigging tutorial on youtube😁
great work man
Fantastic. Thank you.
Wow fantastic rigging tutorial. Something I've been looking for to add to a new character I'm working on right on time.
Thanks so much!!
I think I finaly get the rigging mechanics cuz of this. Thanks!
Do realize how much you look like a younger Ewan McGregor? All kidding aside, your explanation of the rigging an object in Blender 3.3 is amazing. You sped through the section on parenting the bones to the actual mesh, so I had to rewind that section at least 10 times. Other than that, you are a great facilitator. Keep up the great work.
Some really clean looking renders.
Thanks for making this awesome tutorial for free
Subscribed after just the intro. I already know I am going to learn a lot
I was literally going to animate a robot this tutorial dropped. What a great timing!!!
you are great!!!! fantastic, an exceptional workflow!!!!!!
great stuff - well explained!
was waiting for this video keep it up !!!
Incredible Tutorials I have ever seen on youtube. Million Thanks @polyfjord
