EASILY RIG Anime Hair and Cloth in BLENDER

[@activemotionpictures]

There's a 🌟 3 MINUTE SUMMARY ⏲ for this same tutorial here: 💥 instagram.com/p/COHDG0VDz96/

[@zataraxiaz7242]

still terrible.

[@WerrinLotsuvhats]

Finally a tutorial that's actually useful for animating cloth and hair physics without a physics sim. thanks

[@activemotionpictures]

That's the idea. And I did't even covered all the wiggle bone settings for enhancement.

[@ScythGrizz]

@@activemotionpictures do the wiggle bones have collision

[@activemotionpictures]

The wiggle bones addon uses spring tension parameters. I have not tried to setup collisions for bones in Blender. I imagine it is possible to do collisions for vertex cloth collision with constraints to bones... But I have not tested this setup.

[@santicheeks1106]

I want another tutorial for this without a cloth simulation, does anybody know of one because I didnt learn anything from this one

[@WerrinLotsuvhats]

@@santicheeks1106 it helps to know the basics of roughing and constraints in general when trying to learn this particular thing. Best advice I can give is start from the very beginning until it's burnt into your brain

[@mugenanimations2343]

How did you know I needed this! I've been searching KZbin for like 2 hours lol

Thanks!

bro can i send you a mail showing you a picture of the character im working on and see if u can give me some tips about how to rig that model thats driving me insane. Btw great tutorial man this one ring a bell on my head a gave me an insight about how i should tackle the problem im currently having.

[@activemotionpictures]

I am always sharing advice on patreon.com/3dcinetv - which also gives you access to Discord benefits

[@baran9086]

Did you just use the wiggle bones addon for the cloth and hair movement?

[@activemotionpictures]

yes. It's the wiggle_bones1_5_b16.py version

[@baran9086]

@@activemotionpictures Ah, alright, thank you for the quick reply.

[@VinciSid]

Can you teach us how you made that anime style NPR looking shade? Thank you so much! Very nice tutorial!

[@activemotionpictures]

This shading, as well as other 2021 stylized shaders, will be shared in future videos. I will make an announcement about that, but if you're interested in the file to explore it (fully rigged), it's available here: 3dcinetv.gumroad.com/l/animewolfgirl

[@izo9885]

Thank you kindly for your tutorial; it’s just what I need and it was very easy to comprehend your instructions with your top notch editing. Liked+ Keep up the fine work comrade✨

[@activemotionpictures]

Thank you, Iz o. I am planning more videos on these series with new characters. Subscribe and check the community tab often, here on my channel for more news and free rigged characters.

[@WerrinLotsuvhats]

how would you recommend creating effects? I noticed they look procedural, but do you bake them or can they be easily animated? I always just do it the hard hard, frame by frame to make sure it looks how I want, but curious if there is a more streamlined way

[@activemotionpictures]

It's 3 or 4 frames for any light effect, if that's what you mean. Guilty Gear fx are done in sprites. Check part 3 of 4 for the Stylized Guilty Gear shaders.

[@KalponicGames]

you have some modelling course? Maybe a Udemy course of some sorts for how to make models like this in an easy way? Making high poly then baking that to low poly for a game engine like unity will be awesome. You are really amazing in the blender software and a very talented dude. Thanks for making contents like this.

[@activemotionpictures]

I appreciate the feedback. Thank you. Udemy.... Yeah, for quite some time I have wanted to launch something there. If you go to gumroad.com/3dcinetv in the Guilty Gear series, part 3 of 4 has extra bonus files for helping you model stylized faces and hair.

[@KalponicGames]

@@activemotionpictures I want to learn how to make anime-style low poly environment (easier than characters)and character models with Blender. Genshin Impact models look cool. Thanks for the link I am checking it out.Please consider making a course :D

[@w1jn537]

Hi! The model looks amazing! However, I'm getting a problem with the A pose Blend, apparently it has missing textures bc it looks purple. Not sure if it is a weird bug on my behalf or the blend doesn't have the textures.(patreon)

[@activemotionpictures]

Thank you for reporting. I will update this model to Blender 3.2 today, and I will fix any issues I find. 😃

[@CherryBlossoms-w8r]

What Device are you using like are you using a laptop to be on these programs to rig if so what kind of laptop are you suing

[@activemotionpictures]

PC. No laptop.

[@puperman4208]

I assume yes, but is the process similar with auto rig pro addon?

[@TheVictor01ify]

The way you rig the breast what rigfy tipe is? Is it basic_copy_chain?

[@Matsuwaru]

Does the hair and clothing collide with the body so that the hair does not pass through it?

[@activemotionpictures]

You can continue to setup the cloth collisions with any element that is a mesh

[@NCHDEMON]

Great!

[@lewisjones1915]

Rudeus would be proud.

[@activemotionpictures]

😂😁

[@keenshi47]

How did you prevent wiggle bone collide with legs?

[@activemotionpictures]

The body has "collision". And the rest of the parameters as to how to calculate distance from cloth collision are explained in this video.

[@Ferrari430]

@@activemotionpictures can this solution be transfered to a game engine?

[@activemotionpictures]

Yes, use Game Rig Tools addon. Bake your animation using the addon's bakery. Search for CGDive tutorials on that.

[@Ferrari430]

@@activemotionpictures He mentoined in his video that phyiscis modifiers from blender do not transfer to game engines. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4nQYpttZZWons0) Can wiggle bone be transferred as well?

[@g-kems]

Can you explain to me please how do you export these crispy videos? Do you set a certain bit rate during/after the recording?

[@activemotionpictures]

1920 x 1080 - bitrate 6kpbs and .h264 mp4. This is standard since 2012.

[@chaddhaji1407]

Wow

[@freezebanana1865]

so awesome! can this used on maya? I guess not... ;-;)

[@WerrinLotsuvhats]

blender is free though, so you could always just use blender for rigging, if you prefer maya for modeling

[@KalponicGames]

join blender nation and become a blender user. Its free.

[@vanphan7231]

how you make simulation for those bone bro? Wiggle bone addon?

[@activemotionpictures]

Yes. The wiggle bone. You need to bake it before the final render in the same wiggle bone settings tab

[@kovalexart]

You didn't notice about bones dynamic. How you did it?

[@activemotionpictures]

Using the wiggle bones addon

[@kovalexart]

@@activemotionpictures Thanks)

[@cocomilk7006]

After pressing generate rig, the bones in the cloth disappears, why is that? should i generate hair bones before adding cloth bones?

[@activemotionpictures]

They dissapear because they were generated in a different bone layer. Generally when you merge armatures, everything wil go to Bone layer 1. Also check every other layer to determine where your bones went, select them in pose mode, press M to move them, click box #1 to complete the move from one layer to another.

[@koorino]

RIGIFY ERROR: Bone 'hair.004': Input to rig type must be a chain of 2 or more bones. Incorrect armature for type 'chain_rigs'

[@activemotionpictures]

Go to pose mode. Select your hair.004 and change it from basic chain for basic super copy for rigify bone properties in the bone icon properties.

[@WerrinLotsuvhats]

wait, I've never seen rig layers with names in in item tab before in 5 years. lol. is it rigify only or am I just blind?

[@activemotionpictures]

Rigify scripts them. You can even customize them and organize where the bones will be generated. Check the info card at 4:20 and follow that link for a full in-depth training with Rigify.

[@WerrinLotsuvhats]

@@activemotionpictures oh i see. sad days when it's rigify only but I build all my own rigs

[@RomboutVersluijs]

@@WerrinLotsuvhats Rig layers have been always been there. Its Ancient, dont know when introduced but ive been using blender some around 2008/2009 and they were there. Everytime i look at them now i get a flashback to the old layer system in Blender with which we had just 20 layers

[@WerrinLotsuvhats]

@@RomboutVersluijs I mean named rig layers listed in the item tab of the n panel specifically. I didn't know about those, I knew about rig layers, just not that you could name them and they would show up in the N panel

[@RomboutVersluijs]

@@WerrinLotsuvhats ah okay, no worries :)

[@Warbandit100]

hhhmmm yes, but no, it would be a nightmare for a game.

[@activemotionpictures]

What do you mean? in the end, you join everything, and since everything has 1 modifier rig, it works INSTANTLY on any game.

[@Warbandit100]

@@activemotionpictures ehhh yeah, but you would need to do it all over for every haircut, while I'm trying to get a method to make hair that will let me use standardized bones for the rig (depending on the haircut it would be different bones) and fine-tune just to be sure it works well, also, depending on the animation, these kind of hair, or any other anime hair tutorial I've seen, wouldn't work, for example, a power-up scene, a la super Saiyan, hair would lift and head would be naked in some small areas below.

[@Warbandit100]

@@activemotionpictures unless you keep the hair down to keep those lower areas covered, you'll be left with empty zones.
