Please don't spam every comment. I do say "in edit mode and duplicate the bone". If you duplicate the bone in object mode your going to create a second armature If you have a bunch of armatures then your object modifiers are not going to work as it's set to use just one.

@@ArmouredAvian Not spamming every comment mate, just the 2 who had the same issue in case they want to revisit. You say, go to edit mode, now select the bone....... and duplicate it. When you have to select the bone, then go to edit mode. I've rewatched it like 20 times and because I'm dumb I missed that. So I'm just helping out your viewers mate. one dude said "I had problem when I use weight paint with Trigger it working But for Other Not Working it not parent to bone when I Weight Paint It" This is EXACTLY what happened to me. which happens when you create multiple armatures, then you can paint those all you want, but they wont pose. Just like me, people are dumb sometimes, and mess something up, because they see one thing, while hearing the other. Your videos are awesome, but if you get more viewers and more comments, get ready for "comment hell" If you think this was spamming...

The issues those people were having were completely different to your issue. One person was using an older blender version so the weight paint fill shortcut was not working. Another forgot to add the armature modifier to the trigger. I had already solved their issues because they liked my comment, confirming it was fixed. Your issue is that you seem to be rushing the tutorial and jumping to conclusions. You need to slow down and think before you act.

Are you talking about ths stages in this video in particular, or Part 1 to Part 6 in the series?

@@ArmouredAvian i am talking about generaly, what are the steps about adding accesories in a character. i didn't saw these tutorials yet. thank you for your time!

In that case yes, your steps are correct. You should already have a character rig, if you watch part one it will show you how to acquire a character pack. Part 3 will show you in more detail how to transfer weight paint onto a piece of clothing or accessory.

Sorry bro, I was taught how to use the Unreal Engine and only Unreal Engine. The FBX model format is pretty universal. Unity may be able to import that.

I've made a second time-lapse where I've dedicated more time to the line art process. In summary you duplicate your render and use 2 Photoshop filters Stamp and Photocopy. Stamp is for line art and shadows. Photocopy is for detail. You then overlay those filtered edits and use the mask tool to hide or reveal detail.

Do you mean applying a decal or a camo to the gun model?

You may have not have assigned the armature modifier to those objects

Thanks for such a detailed comment. 1. Yes Kitbashing is basically taking a bunch of models or packs stripping them down and making something new. For cities and rooms and forests there are several asset packs Kitbash3D, Big Medium Small, Quixel Mega Scans (Quixel is free for Epic Games accounts) and Geo Scatter. 2. If you look at the outliner in Blender you will see I've created several collections and named them Scene. This is for each panel in the comics story. I then go through the sequence, revealing one collection, rendering it, then revealing the next one. Until I have several Renders in sequence. If you're interested in learning how to Kitbash a gun I made a tutorial on Rigging an AKS-74U and Kitbashing it into a modern tactical weapon.

​@ArmouredAvian thx for the reply really helpful!

Could be your Blender version, they changed and added some new keybind functions for Weight Painting in 4.0 Use the Gradient Tool set to value of 1 and give the object couple broad swipes instead, to fill it. Ctrl-X is listed in 4.1's manual for filling an object. For Menu access go to "Weight" -> "Set Weight" docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/sculpt_paint/weight_paint/editing.html#set-weight

Probably in future, got series on Daz Studio in the works currently. But basically in the animation workspace you select a part, like the bolt bone. Make a location key frame, Move the timeline forward, Then move the bolt bone backwards, Then create another location keyframe. Copy the first keyframe you made and move it to the end of your timeline. You should get a reciprocating bolt animation that way.

It seems fairly light for my computer

@@scarpheel what are the specs of your computer? I only have a work station laptop.

If you are just using it to pose the free basic mannequins for reference, to assist with your drawing. Then Daz can run on your CPU no problem. If you are planning to add clothing, hair, and especially using iRay, then you will need a more powerful system for that.

@@ArmouredAvian oh very nice! I only need posing for complicated positions that include multiple elements (x-ray shots, crowded shots... ect) I have a 64 bits, 6 gb ram, I5 core laptop that runs on windows 10

@@alexowo8408 If your just using the plane Gensis 8 Male and Female characters that laptop would be fine. For Crowds I would do a stress test to see how many times your can duplicate one character before your system tanks.

My upcoming tutorials will be about using Daz Studio and Importing characters into Blender

@@ArmouredAvian Thanks !

My Pleasure.

I'm not that worried about the low viewership, as any multi-part series will have a drop off. The channel is currently a very good tool for advertising my skill set to clients. Though it wouldn't hurt to have more rapid growth. This series however is a prelude to some big Blender to Comic Book videos which I really want to make in the future. So when I debut that content I will heavily promote it.

@@ArmouredAvian oh. Sounds great. Nice to know)

Yeah, I wish I was faster at making them, though.

Thank you, only 200 views away from 100,000 Pretty crazy.

Nobody Escapes from Tarkov.

It's done using the Diffeomorphic Addon. Follow this Tutorial on how to install and export. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iavJnKGgjdyjasU&ab_channel=Open3DLab

They're the Ultranationalists and Krueger. With a bunch of Tarkov stuff.

Thanks bro, comments like this keep me motivated and let me know I'm on the right track.

Daz Studio + Diffeomorphic transfer add-on to import them into Blender. The Daz Studio software is free but relies on paid asset pack shop as a business model. Though there are third party alternatives. I used it for my "Tasty Burger Timelapse" you can edit expressions and import poses. My upcoming tutorial videos will be about it.

Oh wow I never knew Daz had it's own marketplace I always thought it was just for base human models. Thanks for the reply I guess I'll have to check it out sooner rather than later then. Will definitely be looking forward to your new videos on it, all of the previous parts of the series have been very insightful.

If you have unpacked the Resources from the Blender scene, it will create a folder called "textures" next to your Blend file, which will house a bunch of Targa files or PNGs, which your Blender scene will be sourcing from. If you have moved the Blend file to a new location you will break the connection with that texture folder. In "Blender Character Kitbashing: The Basics Part 1" at (05:41) you will see the folder which the unpacked textures will appear in. Don't delete the "textures" folder and keep all your files in the "Kitbash Project" folder. If you want to move the Blend file so it's on your desktop create a shortcut for it and put that on your desktop.

@@ArmouredAvian Thank you for your response! It was my fault, I moved my blend file. I'll be more careful now !

Rookie mistake, everyone does it. @@scarpheel

Thank bro, I got a tutorial on posing in my video pipeline. So stay tuned.

@@ArmouredAvian I really enjoyed the raw timelapse format of this video too. Just getting to watch pure proecess was super refreshing

I use custom shortcuts which are a mix of Industry Standard and Blender. Because I learned Maya in Uni before switching to Blender. So it's a bit difficult to explain the default shortcuts. I've tried to compensate by making sure to use the menus as much as possible.

@@ArmouredAvian Makes sense. Either way, thank you for the content.

My pleasure bro, expect more stuff.

It's a very touchy subject. There is a risk but it seems like nobody cares "Currently". There's a KZbinr called Hoot who makes SFM videos with MW2 & Rainbow Six assets, and he has millions of views with no issues. For me, I want to use this stuff for Comics / Concept Art which means it's just for reference which I will draw/paint over.

It'll come out around -Late January.- But if you're interested watch the Taste Burger Time Lapse to get an idea of what I be covering in detail.

OK cheers! Looking forward to the next one…

If you go to Part 1 and use the SFM: MadIvan18’s Page: Link, you will find all information about the models in that workshop page's description.

Yeah, I noticed it was an unexplored niche. I'll be sure to make more tutorial videos in the future expanding on it.

That's covered in "Clipping and Texturing Part 5" In hindsight probably would have been best make reference to why were ignoring the clipping in this video. But I just wanted to focus on introducing everyone to weight painting.

Yes I've just watched it and was going to mention that here :D anyways thanks man!@@ArmouredAvian

@@cepryn8222 It's all good, leaving comment allows me to answer questions for future viewers.

Thank you so much, I really wanted to be thorough with the process and I may have gotten a bit carried away. You can thank ForceQuit for the video quality he gave me one hell of a learning curve in video making process. Only just started this KZbin thing this year, got lucky with my Comic book Time lapse popping off. So I decided I had come out swinging with new uploads.

Yeah, weight painting can be intimidating to beginners because they often bite off more than they can chew. I wanted to keep things small-scale to ease everyone into it.
