For the first time I actually spent hours just to learn the basic of Blender. I never really got into it because I found it hard, but now I actually understand the basic of it and are willing to proceed further. Love it so far
Once you get the basics of Blender it is very exciting because at that point you can create so many things! You never get done learning new things in Blender. But that just opens even more creation opportunities. I am a slow learner. It took me a long time to learn Blender but now I am addicted!
@Carmel Nech for one, I know that doesn't work, you're not tricking anybody, and for two, xD hasn't been used in like, half a decade, maybe update your bot's messages
Thank you so much for providing a brilliant tutorial that has allowed me to help my 12 year old son, who wants to move on to computer based animation, from camera based animation. So many Blender TH-camrs get carried away with proving how much they know... it was a breath of fresh air to watch yours (many times!). We are now able to work out the principles and have managed to create several animated slugs! Thanks again.
There is a stupid mistake that I was making ,and that is because he showed something else, and said something else. I was parenting the bones to the mesh. You have to parent the mesh to the bones. I believe that it is selected in the wrong order. I really hope that this is the case for everybody here, as it is really frustrating
When parenting, the selected objects are parented to the active object. The active object is highlighted differently than the others, and is normally the last one you select. So, like the video shows, you select the mesh, followed by the armature. Also, you'll know if you selected them in the right order because the armature deform options won't appear at all unless you do.
8:09 I agree that this point was the toughest to grasp because he went a little fast for beginners. It’s because what he says and what he does is just a half second apart. But he is saying it correctly- you want the mesh to follow what the armature does so the latter is the parent…
for anyone not getting the armature to affect the mesh (because it isn't mentioned in the video) you have to select the mesh and then the armature in object mode after that
This is a fantastic starting point! Thank you so much!! I feel like I learned a lot and I can't wait to watch more videos and learn more! Thank you for making these tutorials and sharing all your knowledge with the rest of the world!
Seems super simple, I could figure everything out - Everything was explained super well - just the part with the bones to the mesh wasnt clear, but I may find it out on my own or need to watch some other videos how to do that
Some people think that these videos will teach you everything about Blender but it's not the case, those videos are to ease you into using Blender if you want more either read the documentation which is the best resource, or watch some lengthy subject focused tutorials. And remember if you are stuck the community always can help either here or Blender forums like : blenderartists.org
@@GabeStott Lucky you didn't hold your breath for an answer. I'm beginning to find these chirpy tutorials infuriating. They show you stuff that just doesn't actually work.
There were so many times while following this tutorial where nothing was working for me like you were showing, only for me to realize I was in Object when I should have been in Edit or something. I'm a smart person, I swear.
Edit: I also could not get my character to move in Pose mode. However, after doing some searching, this is what I found resolved the issue -- starting from right before you parent the armature to the mesh: (1) Select the mesh then the armature and then right-click and go to Parent in the menu (2) Go to Armature Deform >> select With Automatic Weights (3) Select only the mesh and go to the Modifiers panel, and Add the modifier called "Armature" (4) For the Armature modifier's "Object" setting, pick your armature. Then, check on the option called "Bone Envelopes". (5) Now, select your armature, switch to Pose Mode, and when you rotate the armature etc. your parent mesh will react to it
It's not supposed to be super long or advanced. It's only meant as a basic starting point. It's basically Blender Foundation's way of explaining their features, and if you want more tips and tricks you might be better off following someone who posts about how they make characters or creatures.
Author forgot to Group the eyes to the face, they are fixed in space and when the head was angled around the eyes weren't affixed to the skin as a unit!
I struggle to think of any way Blender could have made it's armature system any less intuitive. The WTF per minute is off the scale. Nothing has ever happened as expected.
i feel like maybe my factory setting are just wrong for some reason, I'll press the same buttons and all but my mirroring in scuplting only works with the local and not global axis, I parented the bones with the object and not only does it not move but I cant just click and drag to move the bones to see if it works.
Need help. Previous model of mine has been disconnected from my armature. Instead of the armature staying with the model, it's just no longer connected.
Is Sky.blend the file you open at 2.09 minutes in? I notice theres a scarf on the most recent one. There already seems to be bones in it. Or is it a different file?
blender 2.93 1) why parent----child line is not seen? But in pose mode they move together while in edit mode not 2) why bone size tool doesn't change bones displayed as b-bones. If use scale just can change size according to Y axe.
I am following these videos on 2024, but it seems they are not updated, it would be nice if they would make new videos with updated tools, for example in the download files I don't see the model shown in the video.
Is it possible to make the armature IK friendly after completing the animations? Because as soon as I make the armature IK friendly then all the premade animations go crazy.
i am not able to parent armature to my character mesh (using by automatic weights or any other option). Where did i might have gone wrong???? Need help. When i go into the pose mode the armature movement does not affect mesh.
I downloaded the cute little orange guy, but our narrator does not explain how to get him into the existing scene. If I double-click the sky.blend file (the orange guy's file) it opens up Blender with a variety of strange and unfamiliar workspaces. Can anyone help me bring the orange guy into my scene? I found some videos about using the "append" function but the results of that ended up looking nothing like in the video above.
Download the Animation Fundamentals Rigs v1.0 file from the link in the description. Unzip that folder somewhere (and remember where). Open Blender with the basic scene with the cube in it. Go to File --> Append to get a file dialog. Browse to the Animation Fundamentals Rigs v1.0 folder (unzipped earlier), and select the sky.blend file. Press "Append" in the lower right of the dialog to get a list of subfolders, such as Action, Armature, Brush, Camera, Collection, .... Select Collection and open it by double-clicking or pressing "Append" again. Select "Sky_original", and press "Append". The file dialog will close and the character model will appear. Note: It might be inside the initial cube, so hide the cube to see the character model.
@@tauro1235 Agreed, but I had nothing to do with making the video. I'm just a viewer who happened to hit the same issue and find a process that works, so I shared it in comments.
"The existing Armature modifier is already using a different armature object" is what the metarig (rigify) object that I just inserted (just inserted) is telling me. . .I just inserted it because the last rig I inserted was parented and the parenting would absolutely not clear (????). Do you know how I might force blender to work . . .Have been searching websites for a while.
Not sure but it might be because you're selecting it in object mode and not edit mode, if you select in edit mode you should be able to pick between the top, centre and bottom
What I did was export the model as an .obj file. Then I imported it into my usual default layout of blender. Then I had to delete or hide a bunch of extra stuff that was on the model. But I ended up with the suitable model. I suppose the other way would have been to setup new layout windows to match default in the original sky file, but that seemed like the longer way.
I did it by opening a new file, delete the cube, open "File" and "Append" ("Link" should work as well), and then open the blend file, open Collection, and open the "Sky" collection or if you want the mesh only, "Mesh" collection.
I figured coming from a engineering background using Solidworks and the like learning Blender would be a piece of Donut (that's for you Blender Guru). Haha, lol, I was wrong in many ways but it has been a fun challenge.
Hi :) I've modelled a character but he's not all one object. His shirt is its own object, his pants are made up of three different objects, even his body is made up of multiple distinct objects. Do all these parts need to be combined into one object in order to rig him, or can I just parent the body parts to one another appropriately and then rig him?
Could somebody please recommend a different model(literally anything) that would work for this tutorial? Weeks have passed, still no rig in the link or any other link on the page.

I have an armature issue. I am using collada files for models and stuff because they are a lot more compact and transfer all material data from one software to the next. but when i try to add in more bones to the armature, i have to parent them again, and the bone weight system fails. i am trying to add bones to the buttox of a character so i can apply the spring bone animation for jiggle effects, but every time i do, there is this constant problem. I keep aligning the bones with the character mesh to try and make them symmetrical to the mesh, but nothing works. how do i fix this?
I feel like I'm following along just fine. Then we get to the part where we are in pose mode, and I am unable to move the bones at all. I'm using mac with a magic mouse. Could this be why?
man the character rig on link looks different, the ones on tutorial at 02:15 looks more plain than the download link... idk.. i just learn this today, so i was thinking to remove all armature that already exist on the character rig then continue the tutorial
This video was fantastic! As a Blender User I learned a lot and am now ready to rig up my first character. I also subbed under JL Animation Studios. Cheers!

So I have a character with weights and an armature. Now I want a mesh with totally different proportions to use that same armature. Can I just delete all the groups for the second mesh and delete that armature and put the armature I want onto the new mesh and move the bones around to the correct spots on the mesh then re-parent it? I tried transferring weights tool but the new mesh never deformed correctly
enabling ads and monetizing means another developer or three every year. I'm sure the community is happy to sit through an ad watch a playlist everyday so we can get more developers.
They shouldn't be invisible by default. Unless you mean the bones are obscured by a mesh. In that case go to the armature settings and check "in front" in viewport display
every time i pose my character the way i want it, and try to add any mesh to the scene....the character snaps back into the T-Pose and wont let me UNDO it to get it back. Anybody have an idea of whats going on in that situation?

why are the bones invisible? i literally just started learning how to rig characters and they're completely invisible. why is this the default?
