This video could not have come out at a better time! I just started making my rigs for Atlas and P-body from Portal 2 and I had no clue where to start with the cables.

[@Clases3d]

so much useful info, thanks man

[@markusstuder]

Bonus Tip: If you want to shade smooth with a Skin Modifier, just use the option "Smooth Shading" in the skin modifier tab.

[@dstmnaki]

It's very nice to just watch these when i already know how to do this stuff, there is one thing that i need to learn tho...how to rig metal gear rex's legs, the lower leg can "expand" it slides

[@danielishwar]

Awesome!!

[@kiocaworks]

Thanks for the tutorial! Skin modifier have a smooth toggle box.

[@duncan_tang_hon_cheong]

Thanks for the tutorial

[@munchkin_mania]

you never linked the model in the description like you said in the video

[@ilovebirds4080]

oh man I was really hyped to see you make that thing walk so I can animate my crummy little robo walker ;(

[@ChrisAllenMusic]

Excellent tut, as always. Thanks!

[@jialinwang2643]

I've found this model but it is a single mesh model which makes it hard to bind each vertex group individually, but I think I can get the general ideas of this video.

[@JonesCrimson]

I was rigging a model with lots of separate bodies and the parenting to bone step in your video does not function with that workflow at all. I also found out that deleting vertex groups for 107 separate bodies cannot currently be done without writing a script or doing it by selecting one body at a time which is just great, really fantastic use of my time.

[@MAJmufin]

if you're still working on this, you can select the mesh you want to parent , then select the rig, go to pose , select the bone and ctrl + P > Bone. that should bind that mesh to only that bone.

[@user-go2ez6cp3l]

will you do a video about creating robots ? Im trying to get an idea of how would I start creating one from scratch.

[@showman139]

How would you model and rig a rankin and bass special?

[@scuffed1082]

where did the vertex groups come from? I am using my own model whilst following your tutorial but i dont have any vertex groups. How do i make them for the specific parts of my mechs body parts?

[@therealrebelsquadron]

That's where I'm stuck.

[@pleasantlygrim6712]

If anyone has the issue where the chain leg bone isn't appearing in vertex groups then reapply deform to that bone

[@RogerWaggener]

I disagree with switching animation curves to linear. Watch some footage of real robots moving. They have to ease in an out to achieve precise movements without overshooting or unwanted vibrations.

[@aakashjadhav4432]

8:23 bones assigned are not showing in vertex tab in vertex group. What should I do?? Please tell me

[@scuffed1082]

im stuck with the same problem. Have you found a solution?

[@Grubgangcreations]

same

[@aidantio8132]

ur model has to be one whole object if that makes sense

[@RDD87z]

9:09 i come to the video happy u could be covering this part ... and u skip it XD . Im learning rigging i blender and this is happening a lot. Is it a bug in the program? whats the real cause behind the Weight assignation even when giving "EMPTY WEIGHTS", why is that happening¿?

[@HalkerVeil]

Why does he call it Mech-Arm when it's not the arm at all?

[@therealrebelsquadron]

Dear Lord. There are some really boneheaded comments in here.

[@ACE7F22]

All these videos are the same.... I actually got excited seeing the cannons, thinking I finally found information on rigging recoil, where the barrel slides back. Nope, just more joint mechanics for walking around. Why even have the mech to show off legs and hair animation like almost every other tutorial?

[@OnAWireStudios]

Ha! First one here

[@Screen_sketch]

*second

[@merseyviking]

Great tut, but by the 50th "go ahead", I had to tap out.

[@JonesCrimson]

I'd rather you didn't refer to actions as their hotkey. It needlessly obfuscates what you're doing.

[@twinkobliterator]

5:40 if you're not getting the "keep offset" option for parenting 0 try clearing the parents first with "alt + p" then reparenting as instructed
