[@Orange_D_Man]

thanks this tutorial helped me so much!! (sorry for npc comment but fr this vid is exactly what was im searching for 💀🙏)

[@joshuamarsh2618]

You have some of the best tutorials on YT, thanks so much for uploading these as they are so easy to follow and inspiring for new learners like me! :)

[@chris5058]

Great tutorial mate, nice pace, very easy to follow - just the ticket i was looking for

[@xxscribbledragonxx9744]

love this rig, always come back to it when i'm rigging eyes

[@storeboughtrocketgames2560]

Great eye rigging tutorial! Just wanted to let people know, if you've landed here looking to rig eyes for a game, this uses constraints, which I don't think engines support (at least Unreal doesn't). For games you're going to need to replace the constraints with drivers. Try this video instead, short and sweet. -->Blender 2.82 : Rigging Eyes (In 60 Seconds!!!)

[@TheRevMan]

Very good to know!

[@detonatorstudios1757]

Thanks dude, this was the best eye rig tutorial I’ve ever watched

[@zozo2874]

This has saved my life holy F, thank you for making it so simple

[@robertwatt107]

I got a little stuck the first time around because I wasn't in the right mode when duplicating bones. But this was also my first time ever rigging! And eventually I succeeded! Great tutorial!

[@KrissieFox]

This seemed to work but now all my actions/animation loops have the eyes separated and far away from the head in them. Does anybody know how to fix this? I'm using Blender 3.4.1. Edit: Ifigured out how to fix this, posting in case anyone has this problem. After you finish the rigging in the video, go to object mode and delete the armature modifier for the eyes. Then select the eyes, and shift select the armature. go into pose mode. Select the bones that are in the eyes and ctrl+p, choose bone. This should make them follow the head movement correctly. I'd recommend doing one eye at a time. Also, I tried using this rig for simple cartoony eyebrows and it works really well for that too, so thank you again Pixxo. :) It lets me raise them up and down and tilt them back and forth, allowing for lots of expressions.

[@jazzkyy]

Thanks!!!

[@nicklasl7973]

Thank you for a great tutorial! Very easy to follow along.

[@pincodeawara]

Thank you buddy for helping out. Was stuck for like 2 hours doing this by myself

[@wes_lee4122]

Simple and objective. It helped me a lot. Thank you!

[@alithomaga]

Great! Efficient and clear. Thanks for this tutorial!

[@virginiepechard]

Very easy simple and clear teatching. Thanks a lot !

[@mertensiam3384]

Thank you so much! I was having a lot of trouble with this one

[@faderoo4009]

thank you very much! it helped me a lot to fixing Alduin's eye wdo didn't had bones on the eyes

[@tommythunder6578]

Thank you for this well explained tutorial!

[@Rings1234]

I used a modified version of this and it worked out very well, good tutorial

[@________stephens8251]

Great tutorial! The eyes are terrifying tho XD

[@adrianmartinez8125]

If you're having problems with the eyes rotating instead of following the head's rotations, here's the solution that worked for me: - After finishing the armature of the eyes, go to "Object Mode" and select one of the eyes. - Click on the "Modifier properties" and delete the armature. - Now with the eye still selected, Shift+click the armature, then change to "Pose Mode", click the eye bone, Ctrl+P > Bone. Done. Now repeat the process with the other eye. Hope this works for you.

[@DarkSlayerZero2000]

Thanks

[@sboksz]

Thank you, great tutorial - short and simple!

[@benitaverse]

Thanks a lot! This was very useful

[@Holpip_]

what if my eyes aren't two objects?

[@________stephens8251]

Go into editing mode, select all the faces on one eye, press P -> separate by selection

[@Holpip_]

@@________stephens8251 i figured it out on my own, thanks anyway!

[@MrArabTV]

That means you are a cyclops 👁️

[@Joe_334]

​@@________stephens8251literally just did this, great prerequisite, lol.

[@Jamz16]

The video was great and I managed to make it successfully! then as I went to press ctrl + s then the blender program closed by myself and deleted half my progress and now I have to rewatch the video. Well at least the video is good!

[@Carnifex20]

Exactly what I needed, thank you!

[@Masebook_]

It works! Great man!

[@CarlosX3D]

Thankyou, works just as intended :-)

[@ecothedog]

Thanks! The step of parenting eye with bone dont work for me. I weighted the eye to the bone to fix it. I guess the problem is that I already had the full body rig and this interferes in some way. It can be?

[@IAMMAT87]

Just great stuff!!

[@grandemations]

Thank you. Well explained. 👍

[@Barbariska_super]

Thank you! you are awesome!!!!!!!!

[@EliseWongCreations]

Thank you so much for this tutorial!

[@seikijin2308]

Came from learning to rig with rigify and was royally pissed because didn't know how to just parent to a signle bone. Automatic weights to full bone rig vertex group rigging does that... so stupid to not know the basics. The bit i was after was at 5:30... still glad i watched entire video was great refresher although i had rewatch after getting rid of my frustration lol

[@taiyihanle]

I created nightmare fuel upon parenting this eye rig with my character. x)

[@taiyihanle]

I tried with a ready parented rig and it worked, though. So thanks a bunch!

[@bluemonday9538]

Thank you for tutorial!!

[@SimcredibleProduction]

I would love to do this but for some reason when I do cntl +P to parent it and select keep offset. Then when I try to duplicate the eye my blender always crashes... I have a rtx 4060 graphics card so I don't know why it would crash on me every time I try to duplicate... wondering if anyone would know what the issue might be?

[@obamahostile4073]

Hey, kinda late I know, dunno if you fixed your problem but I wanted to ask anyway, is your eye by any chance high on geometry ? Blender tends to easily crash despite your hardware, I would recommend trying both the Steam's Blender and the one from the website and check if that changes anything

[@4nim4ti0]

This works perfect. Thanx so mcuh! :)

[@thesquirrelchase-exploreph5635]

Very helpful, thank you.

[@gravemistakes8427]

This video was perfect, but I have one question; How do I connect the head bone to the head now XD

[@Manlike_J]

Great content bro subscribed

[@BawonoSA173]

Very informative. Thank you very much for this But what about eyelids rig? Custom made, no rigify, no shape key + drivers method?

[@lillmooswagg937]

superb!

[@photoshopskills7851]

Thank you.. I love watching all your tutorials. i have a small question.. How do I make the eye follow the camera in its movement?

[@Guilherme5988]

You have to Damp Track the "look" bone to the camera

[@Guilherme5988]

Great tutorial!

[@pengyuzhang1179]

definitely enjoyed！

[@tenyo8886]

Great tutorial, thank you

[@S9universe]

cool thanks

[@без_эмоций]

Спасибо большое! Твоё видео мне помогло) Желаю тебе успехов😊

[@alan112223]

Thanks mate!

[@xAlexLZT]

I have a question about the pupil, it is black when it is not on any object with material of a different color, for example, if you put the eye on a character, the pupil becomes the color of this character, how to fix it?

[@thislaptoponly2825]

The eyes I made wont stay in one spot everytime I rotate them. Any reason why this is happening?

[@hnatc9467]

I had the same problem, but i figured it out. When you're making the bone for the actual eye, the bone has to be made in the dead center of the eye. For that, if your eye's origin is in the center of the geometry, you can proceed with using shift + S and selecting 'cursor to active', which should make the next armature spawn in the middle of the eye, which can be done with shift + A to ensure that it is in fact in the eye's center. After that the steps in the video can be done normally and it should work out hopefully.

[@eemil333.]

you are the best

[@PellePetimeter]

Very good tutorial, but when I export the character as FBX and then import it to Unity, the eyes doesn't move. Why's that?

[@Caisha98]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bennet7817]

Is there a way for them to move sideways instead of rotating around themselves?

[@zitongxu6007]

ver y nice, thanks

[@bme4285]

Great. Very helpful but the only issue is how this works once you generate the rig..

[@maddercat]

so good thanks so much!

[@nihadninja02-zx8ve]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 awesome thanks

[@user-wn9yh8vj7i]

thanx!!!

[@b.p4523]

And how does it connect to the body rig?

[@yahyabaskale8948]

[@AKno47372]

Trying to create a rig for four eyes

[@corneliussianturi476]

about the eye movement, can this method apply with one eye, but duplicated by mirror option? cause I was apply Mirror for the Eye for put right eye in same position as the left eye.

[@dalabastudios]

which blender version are you using because that is not working for me

[@boob_ka_gop]

granmerci!

[@malikaagouram5087]

The keep offset don t appear for me

[@Sherrycake]

really love this tutorial, but it gives some problems at the end of the tutorial with my rig. When i try to CTRL+P Bone so the mesh moves along, it "anchors" at the bottom of the x/y/z axis and makes the mesh move really weird. I dunno if thats a problem with my rig or because your meshes are at the x/y/z axis and mine are far above it because it has a body?

[@Sherrycake]

nvm i fixed it! had to do a few different steps. Thank you!

[@sophiehaberland6642]

how to prevent the eye bones from distorting the head mesh?

[@RayAvidLebon]

Look up a video on weight painting- the eye bone shouldn't have any influence on the head mesh only the eye. Either unpaint what it is distorting or delete the bone influence from the separate mesh head. Automatic weight painting helps but can't figure out everything.

[@koigurlk7760]

how do you view the texture on your objects while in edit mode?

[@dondahighhh12]

Look at the right side of the screen. You see the Red / Green / Blue axis thing? 2 rows above that, click the quarter circle icon. He has it selected here 1:47
