This is the tutorial I needed to finally understand what I was looking at with these downloaded armatures! Thank you so much, this video just helped me cross a major hurdle in learning blender
love and appreciate your tutorials. Self paced learning by bopping around TH-cam is hard at times though, like this one. Feels like I landed in a foreign land I'm so clueless about I/K & pre-existing rigs. Just gotta keep forging ahead I guess. Next year maybe I'll be chuckling at what is difficult for me now!
I am your fan.
From pakistan.
And I am watching your tutorials continuously
You are great man..
Thanks :)
poetry...
Your mustache deserves to be in a museum.
nice ruba'i
hey bro! i am also from Pakistan ! which city you from?
sir just keep on helping the community like this sir may GOD bless you
great tutorial told me everything i was looking for
Very good tutorial. Expanding my knowledge of using Blender - this was one of the easiest to follow
4:39 :D you explain stuff in such an awesome way, best blender tutorials on yt thats for sure :)
Thanks :)
One of your Subscriber from INDIA..!❤️❤️❤️
thank you for this video! I was wondering if you could make a video explaining how to rig a foot so that it stays planted on the ground when animating, as others have complicated this and i'm wondering if there's a simpler way to understanding it.
Check my footroll tutorial and look up sabastien league i think his name is
uhh Grant where can i find the tutorial of the Bone for Inverse kinematics ?
@11:56 "I've also got these nice shoulder bones..... EW YEA!!!"
:)
NGL, I LOL'd 😂
Gracias, gran video.....
Hi, this tutorial gave me allot of insight regarding bone parenting. Has a consequence of that, being able to connect the bones to the mesh and influence a certain area with weights. When Parenting with automatic weights I still get an exception error. But should be able to understand why in a few minutes. So, thank you very much!
will there be a tutorial in the future how to make such more complez rigs with the custom shapes for bones/controls? i always wanted to know how to make these but it is difficult to find tutorials about it
Eventually but not in this section :)
Grant Abbitt hello, I don’t seem to have an armature option? On my blender 2.8
Hi Grant Abbit, I made a 3D men in Blender (a few i use blender 2 months) I now learn how to animate, but i stuck in animating along a path, my model follows the path but the animation from the armature is to fast while he go's forward... In object mode I selected the path > path animation > frames and more frames then my men go's slower but still the armature still runs fast. I also animated a plane, helicopter, a car along a path but that are objects that not animating like a walking person. If i could animate that would bring me alot further in blender :) And thank you for all those awesome tutorials !! :)
Hello big fan here. Can you tell me where is the inverse kinematics video that you mentioned in the video?
in my rigging playlist
thanks this was very helpful :D
@1:50 🤦🏾♂️
Lmao... What an infant I must be
How did you the bones to reset? Please help because I'm stuck right now.
Alt r to remove all rotation and alt g
thanks for tutorial
is there any tutorial about how to rig character like 8:20?
I might get around to it eventually
Hi, I cant seem to find the model you import in the Blend Swap library. Can you link me to it?
2:15 "because all our bones generally speaking apart from a couple in our body are all connected" - I had to pause the video to think about this
Scapula are not connected. There is also some smaller bones in the ears with no connnection.
After pressing the button to Generate rig, is it possible to pair it with a mesh and not make the mesh deform, as my character has floating limbs which are paws.
And also does the latest version of Blender 3.4 create a root bone automatically, as I built a low poly Piano, with only 2 bones, when I imported it into Unreal, I saw it had a Root Bone, that's probably a confusing question, some meshes don't work correctly without a Root Bone?
It shouldn't move. Make sure you have applied your scale
hey when i insert a bone i get some cone looking(or small bones) figure somewhere at the legs or between them......how remove this
Means what to do in weight paint is your any video releted to weight paint please share the link
just search my channel for weight paint and you'll find it :)
This is a stupid question but , I have imported a dragon from someone else's work and when I try to animate it already has a set animation, how do I remove it ?
just delete the keyframe. They may actions also but you can keep those it should not make a difference unless you "call" them
I finally got it , guess it bugged out or something at first when it didn't wanna let me do it , now I've come to different problems that I need to find out 😛
Grant, is this model and rig available somewhere? Would be fine to make basic experiments. Again, thank you for your work!
blendswop
Can you talk a bit about rig layers and their role in posing? (if any)
I cannot seem to select/manipulate some bone controls of a model downloaded from the internet and am wondering if layers are the culprit
Perhaps I'll come back to this series at some point
THNK YOU
Thanks 😃
at the very beginning, when I draw out my bones, they are crooked..how do I get them to snap in the exact vertical plane? When I'm drawing the bones (and pressing "Y" to try to draw them straight), it doesn't make it straight..thanks for your help : )
g then y
Grant Abbitt that’s what I meant , G then Y and it still didn’t make it straight up
nice and very pro
Ok,i enjoy that one a lot,can we have a tutorial about how to make ,,complex rigs''? Bcs bro,i learn allredy to much for just one h of watching
possibly in the future
Great tutorial 💓
Thanks :)
"we also got these nice shoulder bones... ooh yeah"
Can I use the human (meta rig) function instead of making an armature?
Yes
@@grabbitt thank you.
When i am doing the walk-cycle at 4:00, for some reason he doesn't actually do anything when I play the animation. My skeleton just stands aound like in Fram 1 at all times, even though I inserted the 3 keyframes.
not sure why that would be sorry
I had the same problem at first. You forgot to press record bottom. Press it, do all the actions again and it will work man! ;)
Now how can i start animating after adding ik to my bones
The link for the character in the description is only for face rig, not for the yellow guy you used here. Could you link the right one please?
check blendswop
Hi Grant Abbitt, so how can I make an armature animation slower while he follows a path? But I keep searching.. :) I hope I can find my mistake soon! :)
I think you can key frame that
@@grabbitt Hi, I have a video on my youtube, so maybe you can see what I do wrong.. Or can i watch a video from you that helps me? (I watched alot video's and try to search but i can't find the solution). I found courses from CG Cookie. But I learned so many things from you to Grant Abbitt so thank you for so many amazing tutorials !! :)
Character movement in detail
Like how can you create that color fir movement
I have an animation in front of me which has 18.5 frame. I wanted to edit that walking animation but I can set the modification only as 18 frame or as 19 frame. Is there a way to work around? thanks
It shouldn't matter to much
How do you change the bone visual? I got a model where the bones are in wire mode and I want to change them to the default octagonal mode, but I can't find the option in the new interface.
it's under viewport display in armature i think
Hi where can I find MAC cause when I go to the blendswap web is not MAC but cartoon guy
Not sure now
Very good man thank you
Thanks :)
hi again, so I'm doing a animation with a rig and I also have a lightsaber I made for the scene, and I want to have the lightsaber appear when the sound clip begins and I dont know how to make that happen
Don't know fully not done that
I've found that the IK constraints are bugged in Blender 2.8 06-05-2019 version, once you set a constraint it always points to the pole bone, even if you set the chaining, I wish you would have done one from scratch Grant, but love the tuts :)
I've not had a problem with the mac character have you tried any others? there is the Mike character which is built for 2.8 that might help
I have downloaded several characters with different types of rigs. They all work well, but I have the same issue with all of them. When I push down on the root bone to put them in a squatting or seated position they do not bend at all. Instead they go straight down through the floor. Any help on how to fix this issue will be appreciated.
turn on ik
@@grabbitt Thanks.
That had to be the hardest thing Ive had to figure out so far since I started. Took me an hour to find where to do it. Then another hour to figure out how to do it.... Lol. ( Hey, stop laughing. I'm a musician and composer. This graphics stuff is foreign territory... Lol). But I'm glad I did it that way because I learned a lot. And I got her done.
You the man Grant Abbott.
@Kyo Kusanagi search ik on my channel
I invite you to put a link to the mac character in the movie description.
It should already be there
@Zeekuwan it may have been moved. It should be in blend swop
The UNDERSTANDING part is crucial in my mind, I love you man. Thank you!
Thanks :)
niceee
I am a fan of Grant Abbitt, but I can't figure out how to make a mirrored skeleton, and that's driving me crazy. Is there a tutorial out there that teaches me how to do that part? Bing searches have taken me all over the place, and in the end, I haven't found one that has helped me succeed (including Blender's own videos). In short, my skeleton looks wonky. I know there's a way to mirror one side to the other, and rumor is there's a way to extrude both sides at the same time - but currently...fail.
yes there is an option to literally mirror i cant remember where it is exactly but you should be able to find it now that you know its there (in edit mode)
Can't wait for the next one
:)
Thanks for your effort to bring learning around the world
Thanks for your great tuition! I'm just getting started. I've imported rigs from mixamo but am having issues understanding how to customise animations? I haven't seen any good tutorials either. Any tips would be awesome :)
Customise in the sense add extra movements to the imported file.
It's something I may well move into
@@grabbitt Cool!!
my problem is i dont find all the bone in the vortex Group Haw cen fix this?
my model made before blender 2.8 and i have problem with the Armature in belnder 2.8
and how change for painting to erase ?
yes lots of models from 2.79 do not work in 2.8. Tricky to know what the fixes are
@@grabbitt that mens I need to use blender 2.79 only for the armature system ?
@@watercat1248 it seems that way at hte moment unless you can find a 2.8 version
@@grabbitt never mind i find the problem in the veiw i have options tool settings ass for the bone i don't find i have 1 in the vortex grupe i have the option to add new vortex group the only thin i need is to have the same name with the bone
**foot slides through floor**
Grant: Ooh! That’s a brilliant walk cycle!”
😂
I'm trying to figure out how to attach gemoetry to bones
ctrl p
Grant, I'm getting this message from Chrom and Firefox when attempting to download the rig: Blendswap's security certificate expired 3 days ago. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection. Do you know these folks? Perhaps you can ask them to take care of this. Thanks for your time.
I don't actually know them I'm afraid
@@grabbitt Grant, is there any way you could provide a replacement rig for this exercise? I've looked at your IK video but it's currently beyond me to make my own rig for this exercise. Please advise, and thanks for all you do!
@@RobHoughton I'll look into it
So helpful. Learning so much from these. Thanks!
CAN YOU SAY/MAKE A VEDIO THAT HOW YOU MADE THAT YELLOW,GREEN,RED....RINGS FOR YOUR CHARACTER
Thanks for the tutorial. Btw, you should get a pop filter for your microphone. I always use earbuds :)
I have a pop filter. Are you finding it has too much gain. Others have complained it's too quiet I cant seem to get hte settings correct for youtube
@@grabbitt It sounds there is no pop filter. Air blast is strong. Maybe too much gain caused this. Thanks for your interest :)
YEs probably too much gain I'll keep playing with it and hopefully figure it out :)
Q: What's that thing on the floor with the four arrows?
it's a control to move the whole rig
So it's a 'master bone'? Btw I've been downloading free blends, and understanding their rigs has been very confusing, so your vid is VERY helpful, thanks! [edit: also, at 9:03, you move the model & rig (+ control) to the left, but remaining (ie "the bits we probably don't need") is a 'black copy' of the control, what is it?]
Is this animation challenge an anuall thing?
i was hoping it would be but had to miss it this year
There is always next year😌.. Would be wonderful if this Animation challenge continued
for me.why is it so difficult?And will i be able to do it😰
If you practice
Super usefull video :) but... say how to export them in glTF 2.0 ! (going to be better than fbx)
I don't know why my models (and the others models) are just broken after export. This extension is super usefull becouse it save all off your's textures and materials data. So master... :) preaty please !
I'll have to look into it more :)
Thanks a lot! :D
Thank you so much!! I keep using FK and want to learn more!!
:)
when i animate my character in pose mode, everything render fine in viewport render but when rendering final, it is only rendering one single pose in every frame. so my whole video just becomes a image only.. please help
Not sure
(late response but hope this helps) It sounds like you are not changing the file format for exportation. In order to fix that, go to the little printer icon under the render tab(Camera Icon) on the right hand side of the screen, scroll down to file format and change it from a PNG(single Image) to a FFMPEG(Full Video) and try rendering it again.
@@williamnolen9695 thank you so much man but actually i had figured out the solution already long ago. I should have deleted the comment. And by the way the problem was not same as you mentioned, it was little complicated and there are only few people talking about this. It's related to disk space or cache baking under partical cache settings.
Hey Grant, how to switch Ik to fk?
good question i think it's in the n panel and dependant on the rig
@@grabbitt yea I got it for the Mike rig. Thanks
no link to character download ?
blendswop
@@grabbitt thank u
I'm waiting for your next tutorial to come. It should be on more complex rigging...
one questions please. When i click all parts don't take how you show. How I can corect take this step? p.s. sorry for my english, and i like your videos and site. Thanks.
Not sure why not sorry
how do you make the bones? i'm talking about the special ones
perhaps i'll add another video to this at some point
From which country you are ?
uk
you have a special place in heaven SIR!!!!! thank you :)\
Thanks you’re awesome!!
Thanks :)
4:55 i don't see the link in the description. sorry i'm commenting on like every video in this series.
i'm 99% sure this is the link --> th-cam.com/video/gH5uATTTYB4/w-d-xo.html
It's very helpful thanks :)
Thanks a lot. Amazing...
Thanks :)
why my pose mode isn't working? I can't click on it.
screen shot
@@grabbitt what do you mean?
@@megatshafiy7333 He means to make a screenshot and send it to him. Like a photo, that's what a screenshot is.
@@megatshafiy7333 take a screen shot to show me your screen then i may be able to understand the problem
@@grabbitt How do i send it to you?
Yeah now our feet is sinking🤣
Tu ere duro de lo mio (Dominican jargon meaning literally "You are strong (You are Smart, capable, intelligent, knowledgeable), of the mine (of my team, group, of my possession)" jeje
i'm used to using rigs i'mm an animator
Grant Abbit please help what should I do when I fix all armature to body of character and parent it with automatic weight the hands of body are going in different directions and legs are going in same direction you can see the image in link below
drive.google.com/file/d/1zyqJMZAHP1p_NQz35hDY_BhGLbgVaaOP/view?usp=drivesdk
Look up weight painting
Hello "Grant (r)Abbitt" please say how to add those things in my video... ????
Else I am gonna strike like that snake ... 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
add which things?
Ideally you should record take 2 and upload a video without forgetting things/steps. Because this tells me, as the learner, I should stop this video and find another better video.
