Great work, many thanks for sharing👏👏

[@cppfa]

I was waiting for this. This video thought me more than just eyes. Thank you :)

[@davidmgjogos]

Another great rigging tutorial. Thank you so much. Would be amazing to get an in-depth face rig tutorial. 🔥

[@rakenval]

Thank you ! I think I'll end up doing a full face rig tutorial, even a body one, but it takes quite some time ^^'

[@davidmgjogos]

@@rakenval I would absolutely love a in-depth face rig tutorial. Even paid one at that. It's crazy how little there is in the Blender community of good in-depth facial rigs. Please make one if possible!

[@rakenval]

I think I'll try to make a little serie about it. It's too complex to fit in a short video but also the whole face is connected so I can't really tackle just the lips or just the eyelids separately for example
I'm not sure yet, I'll think about it

[@davidmgjogos]

@@rakenval That makes sense. In any case great job with your tutorials so far. Also would be able to sell this cute rig? Or is not something you interested in?

[@rakenval]

thanks
are you talking about the lizard rig ? I've thought about it, I'd just have to clean it up and updtade before being able to sell it
I'll let you know if I do it eventually

Hey thank you so much for this awesome tutorial,I searched a lot for rigging the iris and pupil with painted textures before I found your video , and it was perfect , but im having a hard time finding out how can i merge this rig with my meta rig for the full character , could you please tell me briefly what should i do ?

[@rakenval]

First, if the meta rig has face bones, there probably are eye bones in it already
If that is the case, two options :
- if you plan to use rigify or another autorig addon, delete the eyes def bones and controllers of your eye rig, and only keep the UV contoller bones
- otherwise, delete the eye bones of the meta rig
Then, in object mode, select the eye rig first then the meta rig, and press crtl J to join them.
Finally, any bone of the eye rig that has no parent should be parented to the head bone of the meta rig
Those steps should do the trick

I am finding these Eye Tutorials very useful. However I'm having trouble because with the way that I have designed my Alien eyes, they have three cat like pupils on each eye: two smaller ones on a side, and and another big central eye. I feel like I am overcomplicating the rig. And I'm also having issues with the UV's not properly showing up, even tho it's centred in the uv map. I'm sure with a little bit more of experimentation I can get it to work, and these tutorials are really helping a lot.

[@kosmokomic]

Managed to resolve the UV problem, By just looking at the example eyes I was able to understand where the problem was.

Glad to hear you got the results you wanted :)
