Blender & UE4 FPS Hands Rigging Tutorial

Here is the first tutorial of the series on creating FPS games with Blender and Unreal Engine 4 which is about rigging the FPS hands in Blender. The low poly hand model Blender project is available for free, I use this project to add an armature with all the bones and rig the hand. Then I define the armature as parent with automatic weights, so that we can pose it in pose mode.
On this page you can get the full UE4 FPS game project:

And here you can get the Blender project for free so that you can follow along the hand rigging process:

I haven't created a rig from scratch in years thanks to rigify, might be time to polish that skill.

Thx, glad you like it.

5:39 @Jayanam Great tutorial! Would be good if it was explained why the bones' Roll property has to be changed. Does Roll affect anything?

[@thefreshest2379]

Make sure to check bone roll after symmetrizing

[@lungisgm6796]

when i move the bones in pose mode, they dont move the finger

[@KrissieFox]

Hello, I am working with an existing rig that already had a thumb and single "finger" bone, and I a have been using tutorials to try and make the rest of the fingers have their own bones as well. I was following this tutorial to see if it would help, but at 6:09, when I go to parent the bones, "keep offset" is grayed out. Is there anyway to make it clickable?

[@JCreationToons]

[@rozanahtaufiq799]

Can i use the source file of rigging hand on your gumroad to create some rendered scene image (as JPG/PNG) then sell them on microstock/marketplace? NOTE: I Will not sell the source file. Thanks.

[@petrnovy6196]

[@JayAnAm]

[@SculptureMrwasala]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@craigpaterson6022]

I need someone to add bones to an animation I have, can anyone on here help?!

[@fxxed1655]

Thanks man, I'm creating a Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) rig for a animation, this means alot to me

[@iamisobe]

doesnt work, followed step by step multiple times, all bones move other bones it shouldnt
yep I repeated this 5 times and there is something youre not explaining or blender changed. The fingers affect others fingers and dont work independently, make a new tutorial or somethign

[@VerySourTaste]

Weird. I followed step by step and the only problem I faced is for some reason the wrist doesnt stay in place when i move the bone thats for the base of the hand, but i think my problem is probably due to me missing something at the very beginning maybe. I'm having no problem with anything else though, but this might just be because I'm using a very simple and blocky hand that I made myself

[@VerySourTaste]

I figured out my problem. I just needed to learn how to weight paint, and it fixed itself well. Your problem might be due to the automatic weights not being put on super accurately. (automatic weights is the auto weight paint that blender does for you). If moving one bone is moving around parts of the hand that it's not supposed to, then manually fix it in weight paint mode. I learned easily how to do this through a tutorial
Sorry if this isnt your problem though!

[@uzaygemisi1716]

This hand doesnt work in unreal engine!

[@Optamizm]

Haha Thumb is pronounced "thum", the B is silent. :)

[@JayAnAm]

I see :-) Always great to learn new things
