This was one of the best tutorials I've seen on rigging, and one of the best blender tutorials overall. You're concise and clear, explain everything well and the final result is amazing. I really wish to see more from you.

I'm sorry but to make a custom shape for the spine ctrl bone to look like 4-arrows like that, what is it that you used? Is that custom-crafted mesh or there's a blender default-shaped mesh like that available that I still don't know of?

Whenever I rotate the handles the bbones roll like crazy to a full 360 degree :(

Fantastic❤

Works up to 90 deg, but it breaks down beyond that.

Bro we dont want hack nasa we just want creat sum fun animations why there is to much work

why did you stop making videos

thanks a lot

10:47 move to collection

Don't use bbones for this, use spline IK. Setup is much easier and you won't get any dents between bones

Nice!

This is awesome

very nice tutorial. Thanks for sharing

i don't think maya have something like that! as a maya user this makes me wanna switch to blender and never go back, and even if there is something like that in maya the how to is not for everyone!

How would you go around making a rig like this for a shoulder armor ?

How do you reset the bones with outing undoing the weight paint?

This works just fine in unity as well?

Is there a specific reason to the name of these bones? Also , defamation bones?

oh i needed this big time

I am always use this its a most powerfull tool for weight paint but mostly not use it,can you know about short key,,before it was alt+click then drag using gredeint but now its not working with alt

supremely helpful. many thanks!!

Really helpful tutorial! I especially appreciate that the head control is a baseball cap for the bird :)

this is all great, of course, but do you know how to transfer this skeleton to the engine (unity, for example, or unreal)?

good！

Software..?

Thanks for this. Solved a few things!

at 6:18, how are you adjusting ease in and ease out together? It looks like you click and drag on ease in. If I do that, it adjusts ease in. But in the video, both ease in and ease out move together EDIT: nevermind. I figured it out. press ease in, drag down to select ease out, then drag side to side to adjust the value

Really Amazing solution!!!! Great one!!!!

fantastic tutorial, very well explained. I was able to make a torso rig perfectly with this elegant setup. thank you

thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm going to look into a way to stop the bones from stretching as I don't need that funcionality, but this rig is a great idea.

I'm definitely a connoisseur for this kind of stuff, nice work

Your entire series has been such a huge help! Whenever I hit an impossible roadblock, your videos always find a simple and easy solution. I cannot imagine how much time you saved me and my awful rigging practices. I only wish more people saw these :)

I LOVE YOUU ❤️

how to gradient like that ? I check auto normalize but it always effect to other bone

Wow, your videos are amazing! Keep it up!

Ty for sharing 🙏

Holy that’s amazing 🤩

Thank you so much!

Weights are wrong

Thank you but for me the disabling stretching solution is not working for me.. (12:20) Spine 3 and 2 are working holding the distance but spine 2 is deforming the bone shape. Spine 2 and 1 are not working but 1 to the base crtl is working. Not sure why..

This is one of those rare Blender tutorials that actually knows what is expected from a proper rig, unlike the many dozens of tutorial showing f.ex. 'how to rig a hand' and then doesn't even make a control to clench the hand into a fist. Great work there. Second, I think the reason this isn't getting more attention (and the reason Iirc. I found this from a Tech Art post instead of Google) is because it is frankly doing a very bad job explaining _why_ you're doing what you're doing. I've made a few decent rigs in Maya before (and worked as a Technical Animator for a short time), so I can puzzle together the pieces after a rewatch or two, but as a beginner this is less of a tutorial and more of do this step-by-step and you'll have a rig. If you explained the steps the video might take a bit longer but would be much easier to follow and for people of all levels. Anyway, excellent rig. Good audio recording etc. Could just use a bit more explanation for what's going on. :)

For some reason after adding them the handle bones don’t seem to deform the bendy bones at all?

These are really good, I just wish the rig was visually easier to read. Might want to consider making these videos again with a rig that has standard alignments rather than something straight out of Unreal.

When I do the neck-follow setup I can't manually move the middle bone anymore. Is the middle handle supposed to be what gets the Copy Transforms constraint? Because I think that's what's stopping me from moving it.

At 5:50, the head mesh itself is distorted when moving the rig, then this is fixed later, so that the head volume stays the same as the rig is moved. How is this done exactly?

Interesting rig, good result!))) Thank you for the video)

Well good tutorial, maybe but you really should not say "get it there" and ask money for it without saying it before.
