For the people struggling with the spine.004 ERROR. It occurs because it is disconnected from the spine.003 bone.
Follow these steps:
1. Find the spine.003 bone (neck) and click the upper joint.
2. Right click > Snap > Cursor to Selected
3. Then select the spine.004 bone and Right Click > Snap > Selection to Cursor
Voila, your bones are now together and the rig will be generated as intended. Hope this helps!

[@DianaGarcia-dd5og]

thanks friend :3

[@kmoon4348]

Thank you very much, I was almost an hour without knowing what to do with that

[@merusheep5572]

Thank you very much

[@ramenniko3240]

anyone who is having the spine 004 problem, it's because the two points for the neck and spine need to be in the same place. select one and snap the cursor to it then select the other and snap it to the cursor then the rig should generate.

[@us_embussy3785]

Had this very issue thank you for your wisdom

[@_Lucyyy]

I still couldnt get it to work

[@ashhaf63]

After following several rigging tutorials, this was the simplest and easiest to follow. Thanks.

[@totochandelier]

may be because you had already followed other tutorials?

for real I keep coming back to this video it's so straight forwoard and useful! It's so nice knowing I don't have to remember all these steps because I can always just get back to this when I need to rig a character

[@berenice5389]

After hours of trying to figure out why my rigging wouldn't work I tried it the way you showed and it worked. All other videos I watched weren't doing it this way. I cannot believe it worked, but I am super HAPPY that it did. Thank you so much for the detailed explanation and this different way of rigging! This is amazing

[@denniscopeland1442]

This is the first video where I was actually able to follow and successfully rig a model. Thanks

[@robindaning]

This is a fantastic tutorial. You explained each step perfectly clearly. My rig worked the first time. Thanks!!!!!

[@dalemalloy1138]

Thank you so much you really helped this noob! I just started learning Blender a couple months ago and tutorials like this one have been such a blessing. I can't afford school or the other 3d stuff out there. Thank God for Blender and people like you who take the time to share you're awesome! Subscribed and when I can afford to I will Patreon you!

[@mike_insomnia]

Oh and im sure you know the official blender discord :) Just googled it and you will always get help there or might even be able to help others in need ^-^

*Subscribe earned.*
Honest to god, I do not subscribe to people often.
You are one of the few that has helped me with rigging. Efficient, Easy and Simple.

[@cookiecrumbles5235]

I can't tell you how much this helped me! Thank you so much! We're supposed to create a 3 min animatic in my 3D class and I totally forgot how to do this! I tried doing this with my characters that I made from scratch and NOTHING worked! Now I know that if I watch this video again I'll be able to go back and re-rig my characters! Thank you!!!

[@woritsez]

best thing ever, extremely good tutorial and works just as well for the less basic rig

[@vscapetv2937]

Thanks for this tutorial. Most people here on TH-cam do not teach about applying the scale to the rig after resizing it.

[@annas8079]

Thank you for covering how the FK/IK slider works! A lot of ppl miss that part and I finally found it explained here (Tho a bit more in depth demo of that would’ve been nice too)

[@dakotaeastham4342]

you are a godsend! I have been trying to get animations for CC3 characters without having to buy iclone and the curve editor costing about $850 this tutorial just saved me a lot of money. Thank you now i just have to learn how to animate!

[@keithpurdy6421]

You freaking rock man. Finally a tutorial that is informative and well taught.

[@glennfleming]

The tutorial I've seen so far: you take your time, you tell me where to go and why and then show. Brilliant.

[@scottjensen7555]

Thank you, this tutorial is very easy to follow for the novice like me. You go at ther right pace (thanks to pause and replay) and your screen matched my screen (I have version 2.91.2 Blender).

[@Darkrikou62]

Perfect! It's what I was searching. Great job, thank you!

[@robestey5628]

Spectacular video. Easy direction. Thank you so so much. Love your channel.

[@brendanreilly1643]

If you follow these steps perfectly it will work perfectly. I tried this with multiple meshes parented to the same rig simultaneously and got amazing results. i think that blender should consider a few less steps in the rigging process in the future.. but seriously great tutorial I'm gonna share this with everyone.

[@rickflorida3838]

Just gotta say thank you been trying to get this going for weeks. Watched so many videos and it came out janky. But this one solved it and I can finally say i understand it lol. Great job man

[@MrHarley950]

[@ZotaCoelho]

Thank you very much for your tutorial! It is clean and right to the point. It's helped me a lot!

[@AbdullahYazbahar]

Thanks bro. It was really fun learning this.

[@shiv-iwnl8188]

A tip: when you first add the human rig and its size is too small or too big, you can go into edit mode then select all the bones by pressing A and then scale it up or down, doing so will keep all the transforms 1 on all axes.

[@knucklesbyname]

thanks for the tutorial, man. nice stuff

[@Adriiell]

such a weird way to generate the rig and apply it, this was the first video that helped, thanks

[@syedrizvi6408]

I did not find this tutorial useful.
I think this tutorial super super useful, beyond this earth. marvelous.
This is the first time I saw your tutorial. and I going to watch all your tutorials.

[@krashrusakov]

The best rigging video for begginers! Nice, mate!

[@d_mon9631]

6:59 for anyone who needs it, this is where he starts the actual Rigify rigging process

[@BrotherZhafif]

thanks, i start learning blender this month. This was very helpful cuz I'm not really into rigging

[@nanyotheophilus8868]

Nailed it on first try, thank you so much!!

[@miss_zebra]

To Set Parent > With automatic weights, you have to Select first the object and then the armature holding shift.
then when you press ctrl P it appears the automatic weights option.
The armature must be the active object to get the options you are looking for. You have the mesh as the active object.
(lighter orange color is the active object)

[@kiddba9716]

Dear Pixxo,
Good evening to you. Hoping you are blessed this evening. Thank you. You are a lifesaver. May God bless you totally. This really helped me out. Thank you so much!

[@NicoleSummer8]

It's cool and thank you so much!
👍

[@carlosdominguez753]

Great tutorial! Are you able to explain what all the other handles and stuff are that are generated in the final rig? The Rigify documentation doesn't seem to mention the function of the red arrows on the thighs, for example

[@aliseaaaaa]

Thank you so much !

[@mlabash]

Your videos are just excellent. They have helped me so much in understanding the rigging process. One issue I'm having is that with the mesh you're using, I'm having some trouble getting all the edges of the bones to rest inside the mesh. I think I'm scaling it about where yours are. Wondering if you have any suggestions. Thanks!

[@UnfoldingHinduism]

Very helpful

[@janekennaway8008]

Thank you very much I have learnt a lot.x

[@allic5926]

thank you so much this is great!! very thorough in making sure key steps arent missed. im having problems with the head not showing up when moving this to unity and i notice a head component isnt in the item layers. any way to fix this?

[@TechWrathTV]

2nd Problem: Bone Heat Weighting: failed to find solution for one or more bones. this is when press CTRL P and AUTOMATIC weights. Any solution?

[@red_Sun24]

if you get the arm chain rigify error all you need to do is extrude another bone from the wrist, you're just missing the hand controller bone

[@dantrunks20]

Thanks... You help a lot!

[@coachremmy]

thanks so much. for even providing a model to work wiwth
