Easy (faster than weight painting) solution for when the tongue grabs the lips- the tongue is a separate object. Just delete the tongue influence from the body mesh. Then you can be 100% the tongue bones are only influencing the tongue and not later find a slightly moving vertex when you do an extreme pose. (I'll admit I've taken apart meshes and limited the bones influencing them and stitched them back together as that was faster than weight painting sometimes when they weren't separate objects.) (Note: If you combine the tongue with the body later there are no problems created through this method. The tongue will retain influence, and the rest of the body simply has it at 0 influence.)
To be honest the blender face rig follows the principle that "more is more" and is so overly complicated right out the gate now and it's more confusing than helpful to try and wrap your head around. You really only need a head controller, jaw controller and eye controller to make your first 90 percent of your animation Then you use blend shapes on 1: mouth "eee" and "yuu" sound to make all vowels 2: Angry, Sad and Happy expressions sliding from -1 to 1 I've never encountered needing anything else when animating in game development. Anything more and you can add bones to move the mesh as you want. Rig like this and you'll feel like you can control it and it won't break your computer or make you lose track of your key poses
It amazes me both 1) how powerful Rigify is, and 2) how inscrutable to use it is. I'm very thankful for your work on sharing this knowledge of yours. It solves a lot of problems I've been having with the tool.
@@CGDive first of all, incredible work, thanks! Now i have some trouble with wolf metarig. I wanted to do a flapping ears instead of wolf/cat-like triangular ones that comes with this metarig. I've tried using tentacles, but no way... some hint?
@@CGDive i'll try afain but it gives me errors when i want to regenerate the rig. It simply doesn't work. Maybe because i've deleted the original ears... dunno. Will try again.
@@martineschoyez You can delete the original ear *after* you Upgrade the Face Rig! Then add the tentacle and parent it to the head or to the closest face bone.
Hey, so fun fact for anyone wondering: the generate rig doesn't work if you get rid of unnecessary bones, like say they gave you 50 bones for the jaw when you only need 2, so you got rid of 48 of them. The generation does not work now. Your model needs to be complex enough to need the completely unnecessary amount of bones in the face for this to work. Anything else, good luck, figure it out.
Sometimes it makes me wonder if 3d model artists/creators know about this stuff. I've had problems commissioning people to do simple avatars for me and I'm familiar with Blender and Unity myself and I guess I'm just not very lucky in choosing the people I want to do the work for me. It's getting to the point now where I'm going to do a crap load of tutorials on Blender and Unity and make what I want myself.
I haven't tried commissioning anything, but I've gotten the impression this would happen if I ever tried, so I've basically committed myself to becoming a 3D artist at this point, lol. It might come with being a "perfectionist," but as long as you're focusing on the right things, I think this is critical for game development. If you just throw your hands up when something doesn't look great, people will do the same when they watch your game trailer.
I've just came to the conclusion anyone with any real skills is already getting paid what they deserve, and everyone else isn't much further than me, so like you, might as well tutorial up lol
Me too, it doesn’t have to be free ill pay without hesitation. I see a lack of this type of in-depth skinning tutorials online, regardless of the software.
I almost had an heart attack seeing this video 😅, I tought that my rig was rigged with the old version of Rigify but fortunately it's the newer one. Btw usefull video for my future rigs!
I am enjoying every piece you showcase in your channel, and hopefully one thing I would ask of you, I f you could make a tutorial of how to create poses and store them for later use, Thanks 🙏
Hello, Thank you for this video, it helped me to get into rigging my character in a snap and really saved me a lot of trouble and time. But I’m facing a lot of problem when it comes to weight painting the face…I am having trouble trying to find the right vertex group for different parts of the face, brows for example…can you please do a video explaining the vertex group and which part should be painted/ assigned to each one of them?? of if there’s any ready infomation/ tutorials, please feel free to share. Thank you! 🥲
I have a playlist about weight painting basics. Once you know the basics, you can paint anything th-cam.com/play/PLdcL5aF8ZcJsFEdlMJ7To0Iu9s-XCFV3W.html
@@CGDive thank you. I’ve actually watched some of the videos in the playlist and I have no problem weight painting the body part, however when it comes to the face, I always get lost with all these detailed vertex groups (especially in the latest version of rigify) like…there are only 3 controllers but 10 vertex groups for each eyebrow. How do I know which vertex group should I assign the controller to…? (Some groups were even empt by default…does that mean I can delete them?) Thank you.
nice video, but i have a problem.Why the bones from the metarig are'nt following the rig controller? my mesh it works fine with the controllers from generate rig, but the bones are not. any advice?
What I'm failing to understand is, why the heck would my freshly enabled Rigify DARE to use an OLD Facerig method if there's already a NEW Facerig method included!? Warning for anyone just starting this - DO NOT DELETE any bones you think you won't need/use. The rid will not generate if it's missing bones. Maybe there's a way to make it work when removing bones, but I haven't figured it out.
There is no new face rig in reality. Instead, there are new modular "skin" parts. The old rig is used as a template to generate a similar rig but using the new modular parts.
I have a problem When I use human meta rig and i only take the face part and position it in normal position with respect to my character and click upgrade rig and generate rig button it creates a wierd rig and only two inner balls of eye control and after parent with automatic weights it doesnot work at all........... How to fix it?? Plz guide me the full me
At 04:06 you are talking about a separate video where you go in a lot of detail about how to align the face bones. Would you mind specifying which one? I can't seem to find it. Thank you for the videos. They are very helpful.
Will someone ever explain how do the skin anchor/chain/glue types work WITHOUT doing just the default face rig? The eye samples and jaw samples are self explanatory and easy to apply, but the skin samples need a ton of conceptual explaining, and I haven't seen a single video focusing on that.
Thanks a lot for all your work, almost all I've learned for rigging is thanks to you. I have a sort of weird question if you could help, the new version of the face has been bugging me with regards to making smile and frowning expressions. Like in the old version after automatic weights, I pretty much did not even have to touch the weights or any constraints for mouth expressions, but this new version there's something off but it's kinda hard to describe, specifically when frowning I've found, instead of the mouth corner being a smooth curve down, it's more like an S? I know that sounds weird, but I did find a way to fix since I believe it's caused by those MCH bones bringing the intermediary bones down too much I think. Specifically turning down the Copy Location 001 on the bone MCH-lip_offset.T.L.001 and the R one of course. I know this is very specific and kinda weird but yeah, it still looks more off to me than in the older version but doing that alleviates the issue, but it's an annoying tweak to do every time I regenerate the rig so if you have anything to add on that it would be very appreciated!
This is because the new rig uses bendy bones and the mouth corner is designed to create a "soft" shape. Quick question: do you push the mouth corners of the metarig below the surface of the lips? This was a technique that was useful with the old rig but with the new one it's no longer necessary and it actually makes the mouth corner too rounded.
@@CGDive Thank you for the insight, as for your question, the mouth corner was above the model the believe, I placed it using face snapping, like I had learned from the rigify series, seemed to work fine in the old one. Would you suggest something different for the new type?
Can you have a look at one of my blend files? I’m trying to use regift but it doesn’t rig my face mesh but only my eyes and tongue. I don’t disconnect the bones or anything so idk what I’m doing wrong
Very nice tutorial... Thank you very much...🙏😊 I purchased Autorig pro finding difficulties with riggify... But you ease the procedure made me to use native riggify... Pls tell me is there any way to convert existing autorig pro rig into riggify rig? If such converter is there then it is so helpful to me...😊
It does not exist.... But it could be possible to take the Arp reference bones and give them rig types. Arp is great, by the way. I'm making tutorials about it right now.
Nice vídeo cgdive thank you, one question, what if I have a character without nose and ears, do I just delete these bones? Would that give me ab error?
With this new rig you may get away with it but I can't promise that you will 🙂 One simple approach is to simply not use the parts of the rig you don't need.
There are too many things to consider such as which Blender version you're using and if you are starting from scratch or doing something else. Not sure if I can help but feel free to share more info. You can also join our discord. It's easier to share images etc. there discord.gg/YFH5HUv
Please specify which part of the video you are referring to. There are many X axis options in Blender and I don't remember every bit of my every tutorial :)
When I parent my upper and lower teeth with empty groups, both will be repositioned to the world origin, how can I fix this? Also, it does not happen for the eyes.
I have a problem... When I generate the rig on the metarig, the rig appears but in a different position... I think that this causes a deformation on the character later when I use the Pose Mode, because the eyes don't follow the correct way. Has anyone know how to fix this?
Select your metarig (the bones), press Ctrl + A, all transform. This happens cuz you just scale up your metarig, but for blender, it real size is tiny, when you try to generate your armature, blender generate it based on the real size of metarig
@@CGDive I'm not sure if that the correct term, I've heard people call them that. Like for the knees for example instead of the knee being the perfect point between the upper and lower leg you leave them unconnected. Then you use a constraint on the lower leg so it pivots outward slightly when bent. It produces a more natural bend without the lower leg clipping into the upper leg with extreme bends.
@@CGDive This is where I learned about how to set one up, but imo it should be default on riggify. It really does lead to much better bends. th-cam.com/video/c7csuy-09k8/w-d-xo.html
The magnet means snapping ON/OFF. The menu next to it which I changed is the snapping **mode**. It determines what you snap to. After setting the mode, you have two options. -either turn on the Magnet and snapping will be on perpetually (holding CTRL will turn off temporarily) -or keep it off and hold CTRL when you want to snap < This is what I do.
I just tried your method and I when I go to Generate Rig, I get the following Rigify error: RIGIFY ERROR: Bone 'jaw_master': Mouth corner counts differ: ['lip_end.B.L.001'] vs [] Incorrect armature for type 'skin_jaw' Any idea how to fix this? Thanks.
Not sure about the exact circumstances but you can select the objects you want to export and use the "selected only" option in the FBX export settings. So you don't have to delete anything if you don't want to.
Hello ! Thanks for you tutorial. I have a bit of an issue when I update the rig, I get this error 'rigify.utils.errors.MetarigError: "RIGIFY ERROR: Bone 'eye.L': Expected 2 eye corners, but found 1" Error: RIGIFY ERROR: Bone 'eye.L': Expected 2 eye corners, but found 1 Incorrect armature for type 'skin_eye'' This error only happen after updating the rig, rigify generate properly when I don't. Can you help me to understand what 'expected 2 eye corner' means ? I have both eye bones and the rigify type for both of them look fines to me.
@@CGDive Thanks ! One of my eyelid bone was disconnected by like 1mm, the fact that it worked in the old version and not the new one is what didnt make me think about this
@@breadfan07 It may be possible to isolate the eyes from the face with the new system but I haven't explored it well enough yet. If you just want simple eyes, place two bones in the center of each eye and give the bones a super_copy rig type. Then generate, and parent the eye meshes to the eye bones with weights.
Hi, is there any way of using the new face rig in conjunction with the new body rig from the Unreal Module? I've not been able to parent the face to the body successfully yet.
Adding a face should be fine. Just parent the top most bone to the head bone in the UE rig. That way the main hierarchy will be kept and the face bones will be just extension bones.
@@CGDive Thank you for your reply. I know this is not the place for such discussions but I have not found an answer anywhere. The reinstallation did not help BUT I analyzed the error code a bit and it turns out that I had Cloud meta rig extension enabled in version 2.9 and version 3 copied it during installation. I had to manually remove the folder from AppData/Roaming/Blender... Now it's working :)
@@kishirisu1268 Oh man😅 Blender is great, and definately is not a crapware, because if it was you would not use it, right? EVERY software suffers from some bugs, and Blender has great community (unlike DaVinci Resolve, try to get help from theirs forum 🤣) to help you solve them. At the same time, keeping older versions is a good practice 😉
I'm getting "Bone 'nose_glue.L.001' not found" as an error message when I try to update the face rig. Any idea on how I can fix it? I have all nose bones placed properly on the surface, only thing I think that could cause the error would be that my face rig is not symmetrical in this area.
Hey, please see this video. It discusses the main errors you can get when using the new face rig and a workflow that is 99% guaranteed to generate without errors. th-cam.com/video/hYDzW3RBUqY/w-d-xo.html
Hey whenever i generate the new face rig i keep getting this error : RIGIFY ERROR: Bone 'chin_end_glue.001': Could not match control node for ORG-chin_end_glue.001 Incorrect armature for type 'base_generate'. ive check online and havent found a working solution yet. Does anyone know how to solve this ?
Hey, did you watch the end from 16:53? You most likely disconnected some bone that should stay connected. From the error message, it seems to be around the chin. It's annoying but you have to be careful with Rigify. :)
@@CGDive Literally as I posted my comment I watched the errors you went over. I was able to fix the nose issue. I'm still trouble shooting the chin bone. Now I know what the problem is, I'll just keeping messing with it. Thanks for replying!

its better to restart just with face, i tryed conect them and was a nightmere
@@CGDive so if i just put the spheres back togetther to its place, it is considered as recconected ?
When I parent my upper and lower teeth with empty groups, both will be repositioned to the world origin, how can I fix this? Also, it does not happen for the eyes.
Moving in space after parenting is a sign that the object already has a parent. Try this:
-unparent the object first (alt+P)
-parent again (ctrl+P)

Can i use this on my face model that uses a 3d face scan texture? would it affect the uvs?
Yes!
why cant i find eye vertex
More info please 😉
Please make tutorial on facial mocap with iphone.
I'll think about it. I don't have an iPhone myself lol I can borrow one but taht certainly makes things more complicated.
Can you please do something about my request? I know it's a lot to ask as a viewer but I can't help.
Have a blessed day.
I couldn't find the def-eye vertex group, what should i do?

@@jeric5037 upgrade face rig
I'm getting an error when generating after I update the face rig. There's no error before updating the face rig.
Can't point the exact reason but I have a video about common problmes with the face

Buenos dias me puede decir donde descargar modelos 3d?
I think I got this model from Blendswap.
Did they get rid of the menu "rigify samples" it's not in armature tab
It's still there. In edit mode, look below the Generate Rig button. There is a sub-menu called Samples.
@@CGDive I updated to 3.3 and that seemed to fix it
I have a problem... When I generate the rig on the metarig, the rig appears but in a different position... I think that this causes a deformation on the character later when I use the Pose Mode, because the eyes don't follow the correct way. Has anyone know how to fix this?
Is the metarig in the center of the world? And is its origin in the center?
Select your metarig (the bones), press Ctrl + A, all transform. This happens cuz you just scale up your metarig, but for blender, it real size is tiny, when you try to generate your armature, blender generate it based on the real size of metarig
Do you know if they fixed the legs and elbows? They needed scissor joints for both imo.
No, the leg and arm have not been updated/
Where does "scissor joints" come from, by the way? I hear people use it but I can never trace its origin.
@@CGDive I'm not sure if that the correct term, I've heard people call them that. Like for the knees for example instead of the knee being the perfect point between the upper and lower leg you leave them unconnected. Then you use a constraint on the lower leg so it pivots outward slightly when bent. It produces a more natural bend without the lower leg clipping into the upper leg with extreme bends.
@@CGDive This is where I learned about how to set one up, but imo it should be default on riggify. It really does lead to much better bends. th-cam.com/video/c7csuy-09k8/w-d-xo.html
@@Gadgetmawombo Ah, yeah, the DanPro videos are legit!
Can I delete ear or eye bones from this rig? Or it’s will be error in next step? Thanks in advance!
If you delete them *after* you click Upgrade Face Rig, it may work although some of the bones may still depend on each other. Give it a try!
@@CGDive Thanks for reply so much!!! Yeah! it’s works! But I need to learn more about rigging:))) Thank you for very good videos!

6:05 Does it do something different when the magnet isn't on?
The magnet means snapping ON/OFF.
The menu next to it which I changed is the snapping **mode**. It determines what you snap to.
After setting the mode, you have two options.
-either turn on the Magnet and snapping will be on perpetually (holding CTRL will turn off temporarily)
-or keep it off and hold CTRL when you want to snap < This is what I do.
@@CGDive I see. Handy tip, thanks.
I just tried your method and I when I go to Generate Rig, I get the following Rigify error: RIGIFY ERROR: Bone 'jaw_master': Mouth corner counts differ: ['lip_end.B.L.001'] vs [] Incorrect armature for type 'skin_jaw' Any idea how to fix this? Thanks.

while exporting the model and rig as .fbx files. Should I delete hided metarig?
Not sure about the exact circumstances but you can select the objects you want to export and use the "selected only" option in the FBX export settings. So you don't have to delete anything if you don't want to.
@@CGDive When I try to export the rig animations while hiding metarig file and only selecting rigified rig. There is nothing happened in Unity
how can i find this 3d model ?
here you go: blendswap.com/blend/2982
Hello ! Thanks for you tutorial.
I have a bit of an issue when I update the rig, I get this error 'rigify.utils.errors.MetarigError: "RIGIFY ERROR: Bone 'eye.L': Expected 2 eye corners, but found 1"
Error: RIGIFY ERROR: Bone 'eye.L': Expected 2 eye corners, but found 1
Incorrect armature for type 'skin_eye''
This error only happen after updating the rig, rigify generate properly when I don't.
Can you help me to understand what 'expected 2 eye corner' means ? I have both eye bones and the rigify type for both of them look fines to me.

@@CGDive Thanks ! One of my eyelid bone was disconnected by like 1mm, the fact that it worked in the old version and not the new one is what didnt make me think about this
If I export this rig to unreal ,does it support live link?
Rigify is not great for export out of the box. I am not sure which Live link you mean,
I tried, and I don´t know why. I cannot fix this problem. When I generate the rig, he is small. Why? Do you know how to help me, please?
You probably scaled the metarig in object mode. In object mode select the metarig, press ctrl+a > Apply Scale. Then generate again.
@@CGDive Thanks for the help! I solved the problem!
The problem was ctrl a -> apply transform. But very much thank you!
@@dds41270 Nice!
How would you go about adding only the eye bones?
Only eye bones? Just simple bones without controls or just the eye portion of the face rig?
@@CGDive Ideally the eye portion of the face rig, but if simple bones are easiest that would work as well.
@@breadfan07 It may be possible to isolate the eyes from the face with the new system but I haven't explored it well enough yet. If you just want simple eyes, place two bones in the center of each eye and give the bones a super_copy rig type. Then generate, and parent the eye meshes to the eye bones with weights.
Is there somewhere I can contact you because I need someone with more experience to check my amateur to see if I'm doing it right
We have a discord. Post in the help sections there

@@CGDive cool. Thank you 😊
What is the difference between rigify and blender cloudrig?
CloudRig is an extension for Rigify. It offers a different human rig. In many ways, it is more advanced than the default Rigify one.
@@CGDive Thank you for your reply~ It would be great if you make a additional CloudRig tutorial with your rigify course
@@djxjxhchzk3283 I am not going to say never but it's not planned for now. :)
Hi, is there any way of using the new face rig in conjunction with the new body rig from the Unreal Module? I've not been able to parent the face to the body successfully yet.
Adding a face should be fine. Just parent the top most bone to the head bone in the UE rig. That way the main hierarchy will be kept and the face bones will be just extension bones.
@@CGDive Should I parent them before I move any bones around? I tried after but it just wasn't possible
@@PeopleVersusTV shouldn't matter
@@CGDive I've realised what I was doing wrong. I hadn't applied the rig, so when I tried to parent the positions were all going wrong.
@@PeopleVersusTV nice!
For me in Blender 3.1.2 Rigify is NOT working at all (can't even enable the addon) :(
That is strange and not normal. Try re-installing Blender.
@@CGDive Thank you for your reply. I know this is not the place for such discussions but I have not found an answer anywhere. The reinstallation did not help BUT I analyzed the error code a bit and it turns out that I had Cloud meta rig extension enabled in version 2.9 and version 3 copied it during installation. I had to manually remove the folder from AppData/Roaming/Blender... Now it's working :)
@@Difreo That's wild. You should report it as a bug. Glad you solved it!
@@kishirisu1268 Oh man😅 Blender is great, and definately is not a crapware, because if it was you would not use it, right? EVERY software suffers from some bugs, and Blender has great community (unlike DaVinci Resolve, try to get help from theirs forum 🤣) to help you solve them. At the same time, keeping older versions is a good practice 😉
I'm getting "Bone 'nose_glue.L.001' not found" as an error message when I try to update the face rig. Any idea on how I can fix it? I have all nose bones placed properly on the surface, only thing I think that could cause the error would be that my face rig is not symmetrical in this area.
Hey, please see this video. It discusses the main errors you can get when using the new face rig and a workflow that is 99% guaranteed to generate without errors.
th-cam.com/video/hYDzW3RBUqY/w-d-xo.html
@@CGDive Thanks a lot, was able to figure it out in the end :)
@@Goblito Nice, what was the problem?
I had to symmetrize the face bones, even though no connections were broken up. I did, however, not have any issues with the old rig when generated
Hey whenever i generate the new face rig i keep getting this error : RIGIFY ERROR: Bone 'chin_end_glue.001': Could not match control node for ORG-chin_end_glue.001
Incorrect armature for type 'base_generate'. ive check online and havent found a working solution yet. Does anyone know how to solve this ?
Hey, did you watch the end from 16:53? You most likely disconnected some bone that should stay connected. From the error message, it seems to be around the chin. It's annoying but you have to be careful with Rigify. :)
@@CGDive Literally as I posted my comment I watched the errors you went over. I was able to fix the nose issue. I'm still trouble shooting the chin bone. Now I know what the problem is, I'll just keeping messing with it. Thanks for replying!
