152 tutorials!!!! and this is the one that worked properly from start to end, this is the best FK tutorial out there

[@shadowcasterstudios4042]

its hard to find someone who, not only knows what they are doing, but also knows how to teach, this was as thorough a collage class that I'm paying for

[@holmquistconsultingllc1116]

This is an excellent and clear tutorial-taught me the basics quickly and easily.

[@bilbosmaug381]

So I was rigging my arm and it became a horrid mess with multiple IKs and what not. After seeing this video, I learnt how simple it can be. Thank you so much. You are a Godsend

[@Daniel-qt5ib]

Your vids on rigging have been SO helpful. I'm in a game dev course at my local college, currently making something I'll be proud of if I can get it finished on time. I've pushed the boat out hoping that there will be resources I can use to help me along the way, and this is exactly what I was hoping for in terms of character rigging :) Thank you so much!

[@3dextrude]

Awesome! Great to hear!

[@spookyanimator4695]

FINALLY! Rigging for FK arms NOT in T pose. I've tested bake pivot and custom orientation but nothing have worked. Finally a solution. TY!

[@jamesolumeka6402]

AWESOME tutorial series. Please can you help us do a tutorial on linking FK and IK. Thanks.

[@AnaGeorgescuArt]

Great job! It was a really helpful tutorial! Thank you very much and keep up the good work! :D

[@kokorin4225]

Very helpful, Thank you very much~! But would it trouble u to do tutorial on the fk to ik switch? I would appreaciate it

[@jesuschs5496]

Thank you very much, you are a good teacher.

+Jesus Chs Thank you!

[@yung1234ful]

Thank you for your guidelines!! I hope you can make more tutorial videos. :D

[@Pradeepparmar1996]

thank u so much sir...plz also make a tutorial on face rigging too

[@shadowmahesh9876]

So helpful, but i wish i had more time before my submission

[@jesshutchy]

how do you make it so you have both ik and fk options on the charcter? so you can switch between either option?

[@icarosh1]

Hello, I hope you are still around! thanks for the tutorials. I'm having issues when exporting the character with the rig and controllers as an FBX. Basically when I re import it to Maya the IK handles are gone and the constrains as well. Any Idea on how I could possibly solve this?

[@bearythebear69]

To line up the joint with the control wouldn’t it just be easier to parent constrain the Joint to the control with main offset off then duplicate the control then press the down key on the key board and then press delete on the keyboard. Then drag the original CTL into the new duplicate, then just delete the parent constraints.

[@ChilieConCarnage07]

I really appreciate this tutorial, but is there any way to hide the offset groups in the outliner without hiding the controllers? I hate how it looks in the outliner and I obviously don't want my animator touching those groups. If not I'll have to just lock and hide the attributes on the groups...

[@user-kc2om1pj3b]

its my first arm rigging video

[@Tenshii_Artii]

So, i've followed your steps. But it seems like using the controllers does nothing? I only see the FK movement effect of the arms, if i actually manipulate one of the groups instead? Does it have something to do with the Skinning?

[@pawpotsRS]

problem I was facing as of the moment was mirroring all of this. my solution so far was creat a group then duplicate and put the duplicate in the group then -1 on X same on blender.

[@ThomasSpettel]

Do we have to create a group in order to create the controlers for the fingers?

[@consrojo]

hey there, tks in advace for the work you have done here, can you point me to the ik arm setup pls, cannot find the video, tks and have fun.

[@congliu5618]

Thank you very much. Where can I download the rigged character maya project

[@blackjinglebell93]

Is there any way to mirror all the FKs? when I try to it says 'error, 0 joints selected'

[@kajbishop172]

What is the point of the groups?

[@3dextrude]

It allows you to freeze transform without messing orientations.

[@blackjinglebell93]

When having a biped character such as this from the tutorial, where should IK and FK go? I've been told that having only IK may result in some errors when animating

[@3dextrude]

It's usually best to have both, look for a tutorial on how to make an IK/FK switch

[@blackjinglebell93]

@@3dextrude So I don't really have to erase the IK I just put on the arm (following your tutorial) right? :P

If you make a switch you can

[@narustory2934]

I would like to know how to do elbow control in Ik. I try to use the pole vector for my elbow character but somehow my character hand became rotate. Did anyone know how to do it?

[@RadiationHazard]

What is better for rig of hands IK or FK and why?

[@3dextrude]

You mean like fingers? or the whole arm? For the whole arm typically both are set up and can be switched by the animator as they please. For the fingers, FK is the easiest as IK is not really necessary in that case.

[@ryansty9052]

Hi there! You mentioned at the start of the video that there's a way to keep both IK & FK Controllers, may i know what is it?

[@3dextrude]

Look for a tutorial on ik/fk switch.

[@MattWinchell]

How can I copy it to the other side without having to go through the hassle of redoing it?

I also would like to know the answer to this.
