By far the most useful tutorial I’ve ever watched

[@SaqibHussain88]

thanks

[@MetalGearMk3]

thanks for the tutorial! Glad to see more people switching to 2.8.

[@SaqibHussain88]

You re welcome , Yup blender 2.8 has alot of new features that comes handy to work with.

[@Hulgore]

great thank you

[@sonyviva308]

Hey man. Thank you so much for the links for the fps hands! I really wanted to animate the heck outta my own gun I've made but I just don't have any FPS hands made. Although UE 4 did have its own FPS mesh but idk how to animate with those weird bones.

[@SaqibHussain88]

You can use the same technique that I have used for any of the other FPS hands even on the unreal mannequin .

Hey, my ik bone moves longer(detaches from lower arm) instead of stopping at a limit

[@bloodasp101]

Good tutorial! I will be checking your tutorial for exporting!
I would love to see a video about exporting fur particles to a game engine. I have been trying to figure out how to bake fur shells, but can't seem to produce good results. Best I have been able to manage is converting the hair particle system to a mesh, then covering that mesh with several shells spaced apart and baking the color information to a map for each shell, but the results are ok at best.

[@SaqibHussain88]

thanks , btw did you tried to use parallax mapping for such kind of task ?

[@bloodasp101]

@@SaqibHussain88 Thank you for the reply! And no I haven't. I didn't even know Parallax mapping was a thing in Blender. I will look into that! Thank you!

Bhai thankyou for this tutorial

[@SaqibHussain88]

No masla, you're welcome.

[@tengop]

Amazing tutorial man but I would love it if it was little easier and slower for beginers.

[@SaqibHussain88]

Bro take a look at my new tutorials you will find it slower that my previous as for my previous tutorial they were kind of like timelapse with commentary but these day I am making tutorials for beginners too. But the tutorial that were done in speed were for those whom have the basic knowledge and understanding of the 3d software . So for them they can understand what I am doing.

[@someyeeter7133]

Hi how would you make something where both armatures need to interact with one another like reloading animation?

[@SaqibHussain88]

For that you will need to select both armature and do the keyframe animation to work on both of the armatures.Make sure you also give the right name to the animation group.

[@mch43856]

Maybe make the reload animation for the gun first (the chamber moving), then work the hand animation on top of the gun reload animation.

[@jimothyus]

Idk if you gave up on this or no but for a more elaborate tutorial on how professionals do this watch hyper's tutorial hyper fps animation 3 parts

[@probably_moonlight.]

@@SaqibHussain88 by the way, you can use child of constraints for the magazine and arm. Just parent the arm to the magazine (yeah, that's how.)

[@Werner-sv2le]

I'm making a fps arm thats holding a gun and an to have animations does it have to be all animation at once or is it separate I'm doin this for unity.

[@DefinitelyAPotato]

Wait, how did you link the gun to the hand??

[@romazahrypa]

it would just amazing if you install some program to show us the keys which you press, or at least you should say what you do and how, for noob it is hard, but nevertheless, this is a really useful video, thanks

[@Jay-ri7lt]

theres actually an option in blender to turn that on which he could do

[@SaqibHussain88]

I am using an add on for screen cast the buttons in my recent tutorials . When I published this tutorial that addon was not compatible for the version of blender that I was using.

[@olliveraira6122]

How would I export the actions to UE4 (as separate animation sequences I suppose)?

[@SaqibHussain88]

First try to export the basic idle animation of the armature sometimes UE4 imports all the animations but if it does not do that then you have to import the animation individually . Even sometimes it imports all the animation but those animations are not compiled in the animation composite you will need to import it in it.

[@knifidoors]

Can you please help me? I want to group animations of different objects into one action, like 2 moving cubes, but i can't understand how to do it.

[@5252emre]

i used the handcontrol rig to move the hand and weapon in blender its work but in unity3d the weapon dont follow the hand. some of the animation are from the weapon armature when i play it only the weapon is animated. i think with unity3d the child of constraint dont work and theres no way to bake the animation to the weapon.

[@SaqibHussain88]

You will just need to export animations out of this program to gaming engine . Other then this you will need to assign states animation for gaming engine .

[@sir_al3x]

how do you get the weapon to stay in the hand when animating?

[@landonjacobs7740]

how do you do shell ejecting pistols or rifles animations

[@GAMEDEV_PRO]

hey on run animation chacter need in an out this is how can be done on unreal

[@fluffehpancakes1102]

But how to do when character moving at same time?

[@justgo7617]

when im child of th magazine with the hand it follow the hand but it cant record the moving when im doine the animashtion can u please replay

[@SaqibHussain88]

I think you just need to to select the gun armature and then go in to the pose mode and then try to apply keyframes to it if you are having other armature selected while posing may be it will not work. Pardon me if you are facing the problem as blender is updating day by day so may be you will face the problem again but may be this will help you.

[@ZY120C]

My arms not accepting new keyframes when I moving weapon :( They follow for weapon but no keyframes for them :( what I'm doing wrong?

[@SaqibHussain88]

I don't know what you are talking about it would be easier for me if you share a picture so that I may know what problem you are facing , Not accepting keyframe when you move your weapon? i dont understand what you really want ?

[@runeengels9280]

@@SaqibHussain88 He probably doesnt have autokeyframes on, so when he moves something and goes to a different frame, it didnt save

[@carloscuellargarcia1982]

Does this workflow work for Unity too?

[@JoaoNeto-fv8nl]

it's possible to use the rigify controls only for arms in blender?

[@SaqibHussain88]

bro you can use any rig for this but keep it in mind you will need to export the animation inside a gaming engine . So it will be better to know the issues before you face any problems inside gaming engine.

[@suave2870]

When Importing the animations into unity it gives you an animation for the weapon and a seperate for the arms. Does any one know how to fix this?

[@J3R3MI6]

I was wondering the same thing..

[@nevergonna]

Well, I've got a nasty problem: bones aren't moving at all, only rotating. How do you exactly moved arms in the vid?

[@SaqibHussain88]

Are you sure you are in posing mode cause mine are working perfectly fine . I can rotate them with grab hot key but if you asking how my whole arm was following the hand it was due to the inverse kinematics.

[@nevergonna]

@@SaqibHussain88 yeah, Ive already checked out your previous video on IK. By the way, what if I can't move my bone in pose mode? When I choose a move tool, bone only rotates

[@SaqibHussain88]

@@nevergonna Bones works in this way they only rotate from the origin they are attached.

[@Dragon20C]

the bottom animation player doesnt remove previous key frames when changing to a different animation, how can I fix this?

[@Dragon20C]

I dont know why but this is one of the worst way to model in blender 2.9 for what ever reason I cant create a second animation without it getting deleted and another issue is the arms dont animate in the game engine so its just a waste of time, it is actually a good tut but either blender messes up so hard its usless!

[@gridlock501_7]

which file type is this? General?

[@VisionBalkan]

I downloaded fpsarms.zip but when i import it in blender just a dot show up noting more. And great video thank you. :)

[@SaqibHussain88]

Sometimes the imported mesh is scaled up for that you need to scale it down or just press the delete key from the numpad so that it can focus the viewport to the mesh.

[@VisionBalkan]

@@SaqibHussain88 have you discord or someting like that i will need you help for modeling my own arms they are crazy but every time when i make bones its just not good. and yeah noup it not showing hands again. :(

[@SaqibHussain88]

@@VisionBalkan i have checked it up and the fpss arms are showing up . Are you importing the right file ? the right one is rig.obj After importing don't just select or click anything just press delete from the numpad or scale it down . Check it up again if it doesn't show then see if blender is notifying any error . If its showing any error then take a screenshot and share it with me.

through the armature bones make wrist bone parent of the gun bone so that it will follow it if you change the wrist bone.
