#Blender #3D #CGI
literally, i even didn't know the basics of rigging, this video helped me a lot. Thank you for your guidence.
Blender noob here and new to rigging, thanks for sharing because this helps me alot!
- Keep up the good work!
For anyone not seeing the ("with automatic weights") option, make sure the rig is highlighted orange and your mesh aka model is highlighted red. Then hit Ctrl p and you should see the option. I was shaking my fist for 3 hours trying to figure that out what went wrong and kept starting over the process...
ive been using Blender for 4 years and still forget how to do this
v solid and to the point tutorial.
Hello. I did all the same steps as you but; When I pressed "genarete rig" at 09:33 no structure appeared on the skeleton we had created. A separate skeleton emerged. what is the reason of this?
at 3:03 when you select the character all parts of it is selected, when I try, the character seem to have different parts hair, pants, shoes jacket, etc. I used shift to select all and followed all the steps through. At the end when I use the G or R the hair and eyes seem to not move although I included them in all the steps. Is there a way to import in one piece? and is there a solotion for the hair and eyes at this point?
Thanks
Thank you so much
great tutorial thank you.
I just have one question how to attach the hair to the rig?
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This worked great Thx. But I have one issue that outstretching one arm the front part of the hair has moved with it?
Also, what about exporting?
10:10 i don't have a skeleton tab. Is it because i'm in blender 4.0?
bro did u find a solution twin
@@Dereonzipit seemed to work fine without it
my model and animations have been finished and moved to Unity and everything works
Great stuff! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 You are a life saver.
For the first time after countless trials, I have my rigify working properly...
I do however have one issue, after following you step by step (Note: I'm using blender 4.0), my rigify controls only the inside robot of the Bumblebee model I'm working with, leaving the outside robot (shields placed on top of the inside robot) standing still in their rest position when I move the rigify controls.
Any idea on how to fix this will be immensely appreciated. 🙏🏽
Note: The shields on both lower legs (upper leg shields stays in rest position) and lower arm moves with the inside robot properly. The rest shields stay in their rest position when I move the rigify controls.
thank you
thank you so much
can I do the same with a model that contains multiple meshes? Wanna animate my robot model a set the different bones to influence only specific parts of my model such as one bone for the fore arm, one for the upper arm and so on.
do i need to scale the character again after I applied the scale for the armature
do you have a tutorial on adding a bone if a model has a tail and want to add bones to it?
I need help finding a setting! So when you use standard armature and move let's say an elbow, all the other joins at the and of the arm, so the hand and fingers, move accordingly. However, when you use this rig and move the blue elbow orb, the hand stays in place stretching the character unnaturally. It's unpractical and I want it to work the way normal armature does. How do I do it?
When I go to rig properties, inverse kinematics and change IK Solver from standard to iTaSC it makes it so that the limbs can't be unnaturally stretched if you move for example the red wrist cilinder, but that doesn't affect the blue orb joins
When I generate the rig, and go into pose mode, moving the rig doesn't move the character. If I click on a bone I can move the character parts affected by that bone. But the rig seems unconnected to the character. I tried parenting the rig to the character with automatic weights, but it refuses to control the character movement.
Yep me too. I redid the tuorial three times and still no joy. Nothing I di seems to make the rig move the character.
excuse me.. I was following this tutorial until I reach to the parent in model with automatic weights its said bone weight failed any help
How about I just use Reallusion's Accurig and export to a Blender-compatible format?
When I generate rig the controls don't show up. It just makes a "rig" and then copies the same bones. How do you get the controls to show up when you generate the rig?
Wow! 3.3, at last! :-) Just kidding. The rigify is there at least for a decade. I just opened blender 2.68 .. and rigify is already there (dated 7/23/2013). So, it's really for quite a while. =) And it's not an auto-rigging. You still have to place all the metarig bones manually (I adore to place fingers the most). But anyway, nice tut. For those, who will follow:
you don't have to enable the DEF-bones layer (third from last) to parent a mesh - it's clever enough to see which bones have their deform flag set. ;-)
How do I connect another armature (finger bones) to the main one? When I try, the hands just don't move with the arms.
After rigging arms dont move but it twists. Anyone could help
Yay nothing happens. Time to sift through forum posts for a solution for a couple hours! God I love blender so much
Blender is amazing error after error till you learn 1% of blender after a couple hours of testing things out
I want to know what the green stick figure part of the rig is. It doesn't appear to affect the animations until you move your character to unreal engine. Then the entire body moves according to this. Basically a character animates as shown but if the move slightly for say, an idle animation. That slight movement will cause the whole body to move making it so the feet don't stay planted. It's annoying. I don't understand the purpose of that green stick figure that doesn't even move with the arms and legs.
Hi. The green parts are an indication of where the limbs would be if you used Forward Kinematics. By default the rig is set to use Inverse Kinematics. (This is where the hands and feet are staying stuck to a position while you move the body.) You can switch between IK and FK in the Item menu (open by pressing "N") under Rig Layer options. When you select the hand in pose mode for example (red circle), you can use the "IK-FK" slider in the menu between 0 and 1 (0 is default). You will see the arm move towards the green stick figure position. Now when you move the body, the hand won't be "stuck" in one place but actually follow the body. To re-enable the IK, select the green circle closest to the hand and slide the FK>IK slider back to 0. I'm no pro so I hope this helps you.
How can I attach the fingers?
I have a very strange problem where after clicking Generate Metarig, the handlers don't interact with its bones. I've done it on new files adn everytime just doesn't interact with their own, supposedly assigned, bones
Did you parent mesh to the generated rig?
if your rig is larger than it supopsed to be press ctrl A and select scale then re generate rig...
I followed all instructions until 9:34, Could not generate rig. I got error message for spine.0004. I am using Blender 3.41. How to solve?
the bone for spine.0004 and spine.0003 have to be align perfectly. what I did to solve this is I moved the cursor in the area that the bones were, then i selected the bone ends for spine.0003 and spine.0004, then press shift a, then select something along the lines of snapping to cursor. then it would bring the bone ends to the same exact point. with both of them selected move them back to their original position (if there weren't there already). hopefully that helps
Hey! Nice tutorial. Thank you. I would also like to rig eyes as well. How I can do that?
When selecting the meta rig, choose the Human Meta-Rig option that isn't under simple. This one comes with eye and finger controls. Hope this helps.
@@kevinclark5917 Thank you! That helps.
11:47 I made it this far, but then Blender becomes SUPER SLOW and trying to move a control just moves the control without effecting the mesh.
i followed all the instructions but my characters knees bend backwards any ideas on how to fix?
Its probably because you did not put the knee joint forward enough.
I don't have the option for automatic weights.
the discord link is not working
Why do some of the bones on my rig change position when I switch from edit mode to pose mode?
They don't. When you pose your character in Pose mode you don't actually affect the bone's original location, rotation and scale. When you animate, your bones original rotation and scale must remain at zero and Blender achieve this by separating the pose and edit mode. Don't move your bones in Edit mode when you are not building your rig.
Rig animate animals and creature?
But how did you get the clothes to deform so well???? I tried and my clothes immediately turned into spiderwebs upon moving
how are you able to effortlessly move the bones into place no matter what I do they're never center
I have followed everything up to 9.30 but I don't have half the options you do in the object data properties (little green man) I don't have skeleton or bone group or motion parts nothing?
Ia there any documentation on this addon?
When selecting the addon under preferences, there's is a drop down to the left of "Rigging: Rigify" in that drop down there is a link to their documentation
thanks fir this but we need learning rigging face
did everything until parenting but still cant move the character at all
Same here
This no longer works in Blender 4. Skeleton now being bone collection with a completely different layer functionality messes things up. I can parent to the deform bones, but I can't unhide the special movement bones, they're just gone. When you unhide all, the result is incomprehensible, doesn't look anything like it's supposed to.
In Blender 4.0 you can still hide either the by clicking the visibility button in the scene collection. the default names are metarig for the bones and rig for the controls. After rigify generates the rig I had to individually parent the metarig and rig separately.
at 11:30 the options in Blender 3.4 have changed. Could you advise which option to choose. Thanks
It didn't have an armature deform option in object mode, but the options are the same as yours in pose mode.
yes pelase
i have the same problem.
It didn't work for me. Not sure what I did different but I get an error "bone heat weighting failed to find solution". Any advice?
There's videos on youtube that address this. I fixed mine by incrementally increasing the value of "merge vertices by distance"
try scaling your character and rig
alt + h not working
I followed the tutorial 3 times to the tea, yet every time, when I finished parenting, the rig does not move my model...
Help
Did you apply the scale? If the scale is off, the weights can be weak , or not applied at all.
@@PIXXO3D I did apply the scale. Didn't work anyway.
click on the character, object properties, then under relations, set the parent to the rig and then parent type to armature
I think the bone layers have been replaced by bone collections in blender 4.0
Also the 3rd to last dot in the Layers is Now called ORG which are original bones. I think
after following this, several times to see if i had missed something, i seem to be having a problem where after the rig is made, i cannot pose said character...
what could be the solution?
might be in rest position?
try going into object properties for the character, go to relations and set the parent to the rig. Then under parent Type, choose Armature, that did it for me
