Autodesk Maya 2018 - Simple Character Rigging Part 3 of 3

[@varafaust2645]

For anyone else having the problem I had where the master control doesn't rotate the character properly- take everything and put it under the Master controller. Not just the joint controls, but the joints/IKs themselves. Select all the parts of the rig in your outliner and middle click drag them into master control. Worked for me!

[@Xerzewyth]

I LOVE YOU. YOU LITERALLY SAVED ME ONE WEEK OF WORK. I WAS TRULLY DESPERATE UNTIL I FOUND YOUR COMMENT. Yeah, i'm writting this in caps because i'm so thankful.

[@bravobraverman]

Legit man I have been looking everywhere for a decent tutorial This goes above and beyond that and so is much better then anything else on here Thank You So Much!!!

[@fernando3061]

I agree this 3 part series is so simple and easy to understand, It's like the foundation of my animation knowledge.

[@curlyt8198]

Thank you 😊

[@wazzdawg]

Cant wait to use this in university

[@eduardonodarse4514]

Your tutorials have answered my prayers. You break everything down and explain everything very well. Without your guidance, I would have never been able to continue with my animating. Thank you soooo much!

[@JonAcostaArt]

I skimmed through this 3 part series just to start familiarizing myself with rigging (I am a concept artist) and I must say, you have a very clear manner of verbal instruction. I like that you left in the error you made in part two with the ankle joint controller and constraint, then you showed how to troubleshoot it. Excellent tutorial series. This series could easily be uploaded for $$$ so thank you for taking the time to do all this and upload it for free here on KZbin.

[@clodhuntress9843]

I legit never leave comments but this time I really need to say that you literally made my day. I was desperate I swear 😂 thank you so much for this impeccable tutorial 🥰

[@MickehPuppeh]

[@Bart1260]

DAMN!!! This was a f*cking great tutorial! In matter of fact, not just a tutorial, it was a whole course about rigging which helped me a lot with learning more Maya skills. I really respect that you keep on explain all things what you do instead of just saying "...and then choose this and set this because you must" like many other instructors. Good job! I am your new fan! :)

[@kai-fawn1081]

[@roshanpatel4216]

Thank you for sharing your precious knowledge

[@Bobu763]

Fantastic tutorial for rigging, i knew nothing about rigging, and know how to do the basics of it, however, with my master controller, when i try to rotate the master controller, it distorts the mesh, is this due to the connections on the hips and chest (the roll and twist thing), i dont know too much about the connection editor, never used it

[@Xerzewyth]

Hey, could you found any solution for this? I'm having exactly the same problem.

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

Thanks for all your help!

[@sillyninja65]

[@ranjanimurugesan3832]

That really really helped thank you soooo muchhh!!!!!

[@jankozorbas]

Thanks so much man! Awesome series!

[@deepakwadhwana8888]

this is nicely explained, what i think you should explain about ik/fk switch too.

[@Tanglestar]

Thank you so much for this tutorial.

[@RafaelBenedicto]

For the knee controller, the problem in this setup is if I want to rotate just the foot, the knee would also move since the knee controller is parented to the foot controller. A better alternative is to: 1.) Point constraint the knee controller to the knee joint. 2.) Open the connection editor 3.) Connect the knee controller's Y rotation to the Twist attribute of the leg's IK handle. Now if I want to rotate just the foot, the knee wouldn't follow.

[@anDREas17gr]

thank you for the great video man

[@toxiccheese4628]

Brilliant! Simple and easy to follow!

[@ashokpujari4702]

It really helped me a lot🙏 i have one doubt and that is the axis like you did it in 1 part you were arranging joints axis accordingly...so can you explain that or can you just provide the link which has more detail explanation to it it will be very help full🙏🙏 love from 🇮🇳

[@tengentopka727]

Thank you so much Now I can complete my assignment. Do you have tutorial for Facial expressions,

[@unoun3288]

Thank you sir I seen 3 videos fully very useful for me ❤️ Sir can you do like this master class for Rigging body with hard surface like soldiers clothes (west, helmet, metal west , metal clothes..etc )

[@wongyeehui5670]

Hi, this is a very good tutorial for me as I'm planning on building a rig of my own for my character! But I have one question. if the character is too big for the scene, how are can I scale it?? Do I need to do the scale constraint on every controller to the master controller?

[@thilakarhari7472]

Thanks for sharing this, also one request.. pls add one more part for hand elbow ctrl and revers foot lock ctrl for toe and heel ctrl which will be complete guide for beginner

[@viraj6778]

you are amazing artist brooooooo.....

[@JosselinCLAIRET]

best ones ! thank you

[@pavelbelun5117]

I love your work man!

[@LinneaH93]

Fantastic series!! Thank you!

[@gouthameow]

Just got three words..... THANKS A LOT

[@Education10NE]

Thank you and love your tutorial.

[@maime3122]

thank you so much, this helped a lot !!!!

[@LisHard4]

I have an error in the last step, with the pole vector. When I apply it, the knee becomes deformed. What I think may fail is that my model has her legs a little open. But it would have to work the same, I suppose. Do you know what my mistake may be? Thanks for this tutorial, very well explained!

[@user-nq1ls4il4y]

I love it your video! i have a question. Can I bind skin without merging objects? What I have created is a separate object.

[@ventanalila8185]

Awesome work my dude

[@rafa666imjp]

Great Tutorial, all the 3 parts!! I learn a lot, thanks!!! Just a suggestion. If someone want to make the torax/abdomen region to deform, just follow the tutorial by Jason Baskin - Rigging an IK Spline Back in Maya...

[@hampter_human]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS GREAT TUTORIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@3dextrude]

+Jinhui Jeon Thank you!

[@lawrence9713]

Industry standard and actually cost quite a bunch. Still created such weird errors. Good it got cheaper and better over time

[@Kinkoyaburi]

Thank you that was a very nice lesson, but what about if we have an object that is sort of hanging on a belt or something and it needs to be pushed up or down depending on leg position, but not deform(change form)? I also want to learn about self collision of hard clothing parts like armor, that also cannot deform, just move on their hinges.

[@777azizzi]

thanks

[@andreiavram1045]

This was exactly what I need. Thank you very much!! Do you have a tutorial for face rig?

[@sanchitgarg4484]

Hello. Thank You for the superb series of tutorials. Helped me a lot. I noticed that you didn't create controllers for the shoulders. This makes me wonder, is it not essential to create a shoulder controller? If it is, then can you please show how to make it since that is the only part where I feel i am stuck.... Thanks anyways. Keep up the good work!

[@guillaumesaint-alme2855]

You helped me so much ! thank you !

[@jakemascolo]

When using the "master control" to attempt to rotate character in different direction, weird deformities happen, any idea how to fix this?

[@garethlewis4947]

yeah, don't rig the spine the way this guy does it

[@lukehe1076]

So the character's back can not be bend?

[@KornyFX]

Hey first off great tutorial, you just safed me half a semester of studying, but when I try to rotate my Master CTRL My whole rig gets messed up because its children dont follow the rotation exactly. So everytime I want to rotate a Character more than 90 degrees i have to manually adjust the positions of the other Controllers which can get pretty annoying, does anyone else have this Problem and if so is there a way to fix it?

[@3dextrude]

That sounds strange, did make sure all your controls had their transformations frozen? That's the only thing I can think off that would mess it up.

[@KornyFX]

@@3dextrude yeah I just checked there all fine, I'll just start over maybe it'll work this time around.

[@anonmcanon910]

@@KornyFX I'm pretty sure this is caused by the spine curve from the spine IK... I'm not sure how best to solve it however.

[@ricniclas]

You are an angel!

[@FlopCouture]

I love this but can you make a 2020 version with the new maya and also leave out the errors. Thanks man!

[@Smarglenargle]

Also, how the heck do we turn off the XYZ joint orient thing, theres no option to turn it off, the original thing was to turn it on and I can't get it to go away. Oh, just hide display>Hide>handles. lol.

[@gregoryyacob4081]

Thank you !

[@kdinamite]

Cara muito obg pela ajuda foi ótimo pode ter tanto conhecimento disponível! muito obg mesmo!!!

[@alonsomartinez9588]

I think you mean that the legs move by themselves because of IK right?

[@dzjavat]

Thank you, God bless you sir.

[@santimen2000]

We didn't cover some stuff that I believe is important, pole vectors, scaling constraints in case you have to scale your character, and there's no control to bend the spine!

[@flashmavi]

Hi! Thanx for the video. I just have one issue. The way the chest is connected in this tutorial, I cannot arch or round the back. So i can't really make use of the spin. I think the chest controller has to be connected to the top point of the spine curve. I tried both point constraint and orient, but it doesn't connect in a way so the spine can be bent. Then I looked in the connection manager and there I didn't find an option to connect to TRANSLATE of a single point. Any idea how this is done?

[@jacobjac3835]

that's the point ==

[@tmcthree]

You need to do a skin bind between the curve and dummy joints... see this kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6uceqyZpZiZfac

[@xcgi]

Thank you so much

[@Sillymonkeies]

Hey man great tutorials! I still don't understand how to make the elbow rigged

[@ChertovBaobab]

Спасибо! This was very helpfull. =)

[@Mrinal019]

Hi, Your tutorials on rig is great. I have created a hyper casual game character rig after watching your video. Now only skinning part is left. One thing is that I can't export these controller constrains as fbx. Will you help me out please? Thanks again!

[@Lemoncat_hc]

I followed the tutorial and everything went fine, until i started setting keys for my animation. The hip controller stops working after i set a keyframe or two. Any ideas on how to solve this? When i delete my keyframes the hip controller works again. Pretty sure i parented everything correctly and used freeze transformations on everything like the tutorial mentions.

[@uhohspaghet]

When I move the body down it starts to jitter, as well as when I make the full body move when using the master ctrl, also when I move the leg up it goes outward instead of inward, anyway to solve this?

[@akhmal3303]

Hey man, awesome tutorials, i'm an animation student and this video helps a lot, are you gonna do a facial rig tutorial? i've been struggling to search for one.

[@yogeshgaikwad3546]

hey buddy thanks a lot for the video. Please can you guide me on how to fix the head movement ? I don"t want my chest control to rotate my head.

[@Ochenter]

Really useful. I love your Channel. Keep It Up please.

[@3dextrude]

Thank you!

[@grahamhiggins1816]

I've done the auto rig in Maya 2018, and all looks good - is there a way to add finger controls to this rig now?

[@djt9854]

THANKSS!!!!!!!!

[@monmon5824]

あなたは神か

[@RichardK_art]

Thank you soooooooo much!

[@PapayaAnimation]

thanks!

[@VladysLove_3d]

wtf man, I followed your tutorial... tell how the character is supposed to bend his back with that set up? His spine will always remain straight ....

[@awhellyeah543]

I was also wondering this.

[@garethlewis4947]

Use FK. This set up is garbage for good spine movement.
