Autodesk Maya 2018 - Simple Character Rigging Part 3 of 3

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@MickehPuppeh]

I just keep coming back to this whenever I'm not entirely sure how to do something. Amazing tutorial, so easy to follow!

[@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 🥰

[@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! :)

[@cjrinfra8890]

you are amazing artist brooooooo.....

[@DumiWathsi]

Great tutorial man, nailed it. Thank you so much.

[@deepakwadhwana8888]

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

[@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.

[@debajitdey]

I have my rigging exam today and honestly, i didn't know a single thing (because I hate rigging so I used to skip the classes). At least now I can say I won't fail I guess

[@ricniclas]

You are an angel!

[@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 )

[@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.

[@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

[@toocoolforaname4574]

Awesome video man! Can you plase make another one in which you import it to unreal engine4 and make it move? That would be a fantastic tutorial!

[@gigibecali4877]

I swear that was exactly what I was about to say

[@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...

[@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?

[@hampter_human]

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

[@3dextrude]

+Jinhui Jeon Thank you!

[@xcgi]

Thank you so much

[@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,

[@ChertovBaobab]

Спасибо! This was very helpfull. =)

[@애옹리오]

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

[@MultiHaha01]

really helpful tutorial. Thank you very much!!!

[@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

[@RichardK_art]

Thank you soooooooo much!

[@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!

[@stm2983]

If you follow this tutorial you cant rotate your character pls update your video

[@djt9854]

THANKSS!!!!!!!!

[@andreiavram1045]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@dzjavat]

Thank you, God bless you sir.

[@Sillymonkeies]

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

[@FlopCouture]

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

[@truthberries8911]

Thank you somuch

[@monmon5824]

あなたは神か

[@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?

[@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.

[@nikiller6602]

tysm

[@lukehe1076]

So the character's back can not be bend?

[@kdinamite]

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

[@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!

[@Ochenter]

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

[@3dextrude]

Thank you!

[@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!

[@lawrence9713]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@santhoshnair5725]

Thanks bro amazing tutorial

[@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.

[@memories4282]

thank you for its make easy way....

nice bro

[@antonioalgeri4761]

You're top, thank you very much =D!

[@kyrasimbii2661]

This rigging tutorial was amazing. Thank you so much. I do have a question though. When I'm moving my controllers let's say for the arm and I move them past my model the arm moves with it and when it reaches as far as the arm could possibly go then I can still keep moving my controllers well past my model and still keep moving them away. Is there a way for me to prevent the contollers from moving so far from my model and joints.

[@TopCutsAudio]

Yes you can set constraints on the joints to make sure they don't move past a certain parameter

[@kyrasimbii2661]

@@TopCutsAudio Hi, could you please tell me how. I seem to have hit a wall here.
