Blenders Armature For Beginners_The Basics To Get Started

[@ronithazarika2042]

This was extremely useful. Exactly what I was looking for, as someone who literally used Blender for the first time in my life. Other videos use full blown characters to explain this, and/or presume some degree of prerequisite knowledge about some of the tools and the interface, but yours really touched everything I needed to know, and I was able to fully create my own animation. Thank you so much. My infuriating search for the right tutorial ends here :)

[@shirinatron]

Everything you've included in this tutorial is so above and beyond any other tutorial on this topic. Accounts like Imphenzia get far too much credit for telling you *what* to do but not *why* you need to do it, so whenever an error pops up, as a beginner, it's impossible to work out why the error came up and how to fix it meaning that most of the time, you just have to start again and it wastes hours and hours of time. Your tutorials are flawless. I can understand the "whys" as a result and see where I went wrong when using the other tutorials. You also have a perfect tempo when explaining. V grateful.

[@WADATMEDIA]

I overlooked this video because of the quality but then had to come back. This video is the only one that explained rigging so i could unerstand it. Thank you.!!

[@bluefoosh]

this gut not only explained how bones work in one of the simplest ways I've seen so far, BUT he also just explained basically the entirety of animation too! Jolly good show!

I've been looking for days for a clear tutorial on parenting bones to objects. Thank you very much.

[@electricanimation3379]

This was so well made. Please continue to get more advanced. There is not enough tutorials on constraints and armatures in blender

[@That_Guy_0]

1 year later and I strongly agree

[@kaleblawrence976]

pro trick : you can watch series at Flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.

[@emmanuelmaxim7566]

@Kaleb Lawrence definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone for since december myself :)

[@yellomello6952]

This was such a lifesaver! I've been trying to learn how to rig for the whole day. This is the type of detail I need as a beginner.

[@cloudcloud1]

*Great tutorial* . Yes the basic is always the most important knowledge ❗👍 Please, more 😊😊

Finally… the basic tut i was looking for so long. Thanks a lot!!

[@KarpoCottage]

Great tutorial! I'll always come back here if I ever forget how the bones work!

[@immacreator777]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I couldn't find so many other short bone rigging tutorials as good as this!

[@lilianprym3286]

This is so great, thank you i finally got to understand it properly. Great explanation for total begginers. I wish everyone could explain stuff the way you do.

[@swannprivet3859]

Incredible tutorial. I just got into armatures and this helps a lot

[@radiatorhoruci8208]

It's the only tutorial that has actually helped me :D

[@thebritato7863]

Thank you for helping me to understand how to use the armature. It helped me a lot :D and I love the content that you make.

[@charlesheng6589]

My dog like bone, too, Thanks for the tutorial.

[@Madara2B]

thanks, i just got a bit comf with general shape modeling tools, now I'm interested in rigging some of my models. I'm glad that you said it is close to the modeling tools, but it has it's own curve of learning to follow now.

[@MrRocksW]

Who keeps clicking ctrl-P in the wrong window and trying to print youtube?

[@Nyubug]

I'm always hitting ctrl-S to save my file and instead i end up saving web pages it's so annoying.

@@Nyubug This one. Especially since I'm working on two computers, I'll do something on one, then Ctrl+S on the other.

[@timoluetk]

Bets simple explanation on the whole of YT!

[@alexanderg8466]

Will you do more rigging?

[@klatchabobby]

I don't seem to understand why every tutorial I find about armatures seems to omit single-object meshes. How am I supposed to parent individual bones to objects if the thing I want the armature to control is ONE object? I can't parent the one object to every single bone because then all of them control the mesh as a whole, not the individual parts of the mesh I want it to. I even watched a tutorial on rigging a human mesh but it was a low-poly one made up of seperate objects, so it didn't cover single-object meshes like human scans.

[@sujitc2411]

Excellent Tutorial..This is my first animation basic idea.. My doubt is clear now.. Thank you :)..

[@CameronKiesser]

THANK YOU. Wish I watched this ages ago.

[@AhmedMohamed-pf2by]

nice tutorial!! Today, I made my first ever cube rig!! I animated it to open up into a flat layout.

[@juancrespo801]

Thank you for your clear explanation.

[@jeeyuuni]

wow i really needed this !! thank you!!

[@wilholland100]

Question, after clicking the bone, then selecting the vertices, then selecting assign, and I come out of it and there's no connection (?????). This is with a grease pencil object. Completely stuck. I've been watching other videos. . . nothing. Thanks if you have time to answer.

[@sessil.823]

Thank you that really helped me to understand the whole thing better :D

[@the_runner_0134]

This was very helpful, I was a bit confused with armature. Thanks!

Nice... looking forward to more

[@NoahFire]

Great tutorial! Thank you.

[@jasonnehceis3267]

Thank you for making this. Some feedback for you: You spent most of the video explaining parent child relationships - which you even stated we can do the exact same thing with regular objects. I still don’t know what a bone is exactly.. WHY do I want to use it? What is it for? What are the characteristics of a bone and armature? What differentiates it from regular objects? What is “pose mode”? You didnt explain any of this which is fundamental for beginning to understand this toolset.

[@lordrivnatria8561]

idk if I'm being stupid but no matter what I do I can't make a bone. It says it's there but it just doesn't exist. So I have a similar problem to you. No video is really explaining anything for me.

[@jasonnehceis3267]

@@lordrivnatria8561 Yes... it's very common for someone to understand how the mechanics of something in blender works, but its MUCH rarer for someone to have the skillset and ability to TEACH it to a large group of people who don't.

[@lordrivnatria8561]

@@jasonnehceis3267 I was being really stupid, but the reasoning is because I was trying to teach myself while going to far ahead of my skill level. I figured out finally last night how to get the bones to work and forgot to come back and get rid of my comment complaining. Maybe the videos I was watching were explaining that I had to go into layout mode which I found by clicking on the plus button that’s at the top middle of the screen.

[@lordrivnatria8561]

Also I don’t know if you found your answer or if anyone else is still looking for one, but bones are like our bones where they move your model, before they can do that they need to be all connected. I made my patent by pressing e on the head or tail of the first bone, when you make your skeleton and it’s inside of your model try control or command p then click auto weight. That should make it in pose mode so you can move the bone you want which moves that part of the model.

[@lindisfarnedruidakaganjawa5081]

why is what i see as menu's in 2.93 so different to what is shown on all the tutorials, no options other than armature in the add menu for me??? So frustrated as none of the physics ever seem to be what are shown on the tutorials??

[@mfrazeehvacc5012]

Thank you for making this tutorial!!!

omg thanks so much for finally making a beginner friendly rigging been testing my waters in a simple animation test and will defently follow along. :D can you please go over camera following object for example like how the intro to the myst game works please.

[@dorraderbel7629]

i'm encountering a problem . when linking the object to the bone in pose mode the object moves from it's position. how do i fix that ?

[@francisengvall3456]

your a life saver!!!!!

[@cadentubeohara3970]

I need to know how do you make new bones on a pre-existing skeleton specifically a qc skeleton

[@daveson3D]

is there a faster way to parent objects to bones, instead of going through object mode to pose mode

[@DoopyBooper]

Okay so, I had a model that was already rigged, but then I fixed the model using CATS and it deleted some of my arm bones. I used this tutorial to try and reattach new arm bones, which I did, but now the Mesh is not moving with them. some of it is, but more of it is stretching. How do I fix this? Keep in mind, I've worked on this model before, and never had this problem... only last time I worked on it, I used an older version of Blender. Blender 2.79.

[@holmesferonton7982]

Do you have any tutorials on how to make a flag banner using bones?

[@josephvanwyk2088]

Why does the pyramid scale bigger when moving the pivot, or doesn't it matter? (I assume you hide the bone anyways in rendering stage, it's not by default "transparent" from final view) Or is the bone by default always hidden no matter the animation render, etc...

[@klatchabobby]

Bones are only there to be visuals for posing purposes. I don't even think you can show the bones in any kind of render that isn't just exporting the viewport as an image.

[@VictoriaMorganawesometori]

Super helpful thank you!

[@dionisishotzias]

when i put the bones to my character then i do the: with automatic weight my character fails down and the bones are above my character why?

[@KismetBP]

This was very enlightening +1 Sub ❤️👍

[@jkartz92]

what's difference between "connected and keep offset"

[@untitled795]

connected will automatically snap the bone to the parent, thus connecting them. Keep offset allows you to have a parent bone that isn't directly touching/attached to the other bone.
