Easy Character Rigging, Simple and Stylized || Blender 2.92

[@gregger5136]

You are an extremely good teacher. I currently take a rigging course at university and it does not even come close to your videos. I'm very impressed. Keep up the good work.

[@mnmCrumble]

That's how I exactly feel, I've watched 7 different rigging courses, but I couldn't find anyone that makes me totally understand (not only youtube but also the ones that paid for) and This tutorial is a game-changer for me. It solved all my questions and problems with character rigging. I deeply appreciate the great tutorial

[@osmbj1377]

I just realized this has little views, you deserve way more man, really helpful, thanks.

[@eduardoc439]

Great video! When i got my first model riged i was so happy Ok so some advice to people who are first timers like i am: DON'T be sad if you think you need to do everything again. As time passed i remade the rigging 3 times watching this video because something always had gone off. But everytime i re made the bones it was faster and more acurate. So at the end you will be more happy to realise you are understanding what you are doing and the result will be the more streamline rig. :) Remember what axis your model is facing. The add on only works with L and R. (don't try to do left and right with your own language for exemple) In the weight paint (if you remade your bones multiple times) some leftovers of influence from nonexistent bones may appear. Try fast scrolling (hold up or down keys while the mouse is on the list) to see all the bones that have even a little influence on the model you are weight painting. And last one is it gets way more fun when you finally understand the basics (as everything else XD)

[@toastedore3862]

Hands down the best teacher I discovered for blender. The clarity and quality from the content you produce is amazing. Thanks a lot

[@Wyrmixx]

this video is extremely helpful! one thing I'll add is an alternative to the lock object mode at 29:23. You can instead 1.) select the armature 2.) shift + select the mesh/meshes 3.) go to Weight Paint mode. Now it'll allow you to ctrl + select the bone and display it's affected weight areas

[@jd5734]

You can also just shift+right click near a bone while in weight paint mode and you'll get a list of bones near wear you clicked to select them.

[@Gredran]

I love this so much! I’ve gotten decent at modeling characters, but topology and all that stuff always gets me. Your quick workflow to create the character now lets me actually have quick characters that I can finally CONSISTENTLY practice rigging on different things. Ty! I’m glad I discovered your content!

[@andabien3]

I really appreciate your clarity and conciseness. I'm at min. 28:, where you say check things out, and I find things are really screwed up. Maybe if you could work in some testing strategies at various points along the way, to make sure our intermediate steps are correct, it would be helpful.

[@ludovic.charruau]

Merci beaucoup pour vos explications sur le Rigging et surtout l'explication des IK. Un très bon tuto.

[@DamagedB64]

You are an amazing teacher! your voice is confident and you talk clearly, also while explaining everything. a lot of people just assume new people just know basics, you help us with understanding! Thank you!!

[@GinoZump]

01:10 moments like these is why I'm a subscriber. You're the king, Joey!

[@SonnySaguil]

Learn a lot from your tutorials. Explained very clearly.

[@BlueGhost0000]

You definetely deserve so much more views... Thank you for explaining everything, you're the first one (from around 10 other people who's videos I saw) who actually told us how everything works instead of only telling "do this and do that".

[@ginogarcia8730]

Gosh this tutorial is so good & detailed if anyone wants to create a character and rig them from scratch in Blender. It'll take me awhile to digest but it's so spot-on. So happy to have found this.

[@crontemisto8994]

I would definitely watch an animation tips tutorial. You make it look easy!

[@geraldedwards5762]

I second that!

[@JoeyCarlino]

I just made a video about that, check it out on my channel!

[@remus-alexandrusimion3439]

I just subscribed and liked and shared over on Discord. This is an amazingly good tutorial, this video deserves at least 10x more views.

[@dreadpiraterobertsnumba5]

Dude, I am getting SO excited to use these tricks now! I also like how the character is just green Ding Dong.

[@Dani-ct6mg]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, THANKS TO YOU I WAS ABLE TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM WHEN USING IK, BECAUSE THEY WERE MOVING TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE XD

[@ThelastAngryKoala]

dude you're brilliant!!!

[@renge3084]

your ik issues portion just saved me, thank you so much!

[@bachaun]

Thanks for following it up! love this series! Would love to see one about animation with the rig!

[@aloethej.o.a.t5566]

bro, joey i just wanna let you know that you are an inspiration to us kids learning animation bro may god bless you

[@sreemon87]

thank you so much..the best tutorial video ever watched...

[@ruskabebic]

I like your tutorials. Just one suggestion, quick way to name all the bones, in edit mode go to armature and first use an option "names" and I usually use "auto-name left right". Once you've done that go again to armature and click on "symmetrize" and bones on the other side will appear all properly named.

[@JoeyCarlino]

Good tip! I've figured that out since this video, I think someone left a comment. I'll definitely be including those in my new videos.

[@milanaryal9439]

You can also select all bones in edit mode. Hit F3 and type in "Name". Now you can select auto-name left right from here too. Thank you for your comment. It helped me a lot at first.

[@umoyGC]

I can really say I've learned more REALLY usefull functions and tips in this nearly 40 minutes than in all courses and tutotials I've ever seen before... (studying for 2 years now) absolute oustanding work *clapclap*

[@danielhearse7709]

Namaste Brother, Thank you for all the wisdom xx

[@nico-s5k]

Dude, you are my freaking savior. Thank you so much

[@loganmoses2149]

This rocks, thank you.

[@MagnusTellmann]

Dude, these tutorials are amazing. Keep it up. Gaining so much in such a short matter of time. Explaining everything so clearly. Quite the beginner in blender myself, but the way you mention the basic stuff, without wasting time doing it, makes it super easy to keep up. Oh, and the summary in the intro, fucking brilliant. Looking forward to watch more of your stuff! And thanks!

[@seven-x70]

Sick tut, you are stepping up my Blender knowledge and I appreciate it. I will check out your Gumroad today!

[@RitmuKids]

Thank you very much for sharing your ideas, I have already been discouraged several times from using Blender, but after 3 videos of yours I saw that everything is very simple when someone teaches the way that anyone can understand.

[@loyaltyf278]

Loved it! Hope you do more of these, stay healthy dude ✊

[@romeomelan]

very good video maybe the best in youtube

[@Paxerot]

This is the most expolorative thing i ever seen on my hole fucking life dude! You are incredible

You are a legend!

[@paddybanerjee9211]

Man, this helps so much with my game. Thanks a lot, you earned a sub.

[@KatlinSchirmer]

Wow,Very good Tutorial!Thanks dear.

[@lucas182512]

thank you for this video. i tried the rigify method before watching this and i was frustrated by so many issues in the end. I still have some clipping on clothes and stuff and my character's rotator cuff is acting funky, but i think i can fix those things with some sculpting and messing around with bone rotation.

[@MrRoutinemaster]

thank you. thank you. thank you.

[@cvanims]

This was super helpful! Thank you!

[@SurrogateActivities]

29:30 for some reason in 4.0.2 now it's Alt+LMB, not Ctrl+LMB

[@SurrogateActivities]

32:00 Only X and Topology Mirror are selectable, but selecting them both seems to work

[@chrisbonnie5464]

THANK YOU FOR THIS

[@syntax_error6882]

very nice, for the clothes i prefer bonding with empty group and put data transfer (from body to clothes) ;-)

[@mrhollywood1173]

Hi Joey ............. just discovered your channel. Looks great. I just subscribed. Cheers MR H

[@brucemarshall1439]

Love your stuff and enjoy your teaching method! I have followed quite closely ( a number of times ) building and rigging the character. I find after weight painting the boots particularly become mushy and gluey, to the point they get left behind when trying to animate. Any ideas on this? 🙃

[@pjgidon]

Top tutorial...👍🏻,clear,complete,,,very usefull....

[@osmbj1377]

Awesome

[@mikekoizumi4890]

thank you for these tutorials! They are very clear and easy to follow. Very helpful to get started with Blender techniques.

[@dropdeaddavi440]

Great tutorial! I did run into one problem, I followed along with the previous tutorial & this one pretty much spot on but when I move the leg & foot up the foot\shoe stays glued to the floor. What step did I miss or do wrong?

goes easy enough on 4.0.2. to anyone who has issues tbh it's like if you get it you get it, you know what i mean, if you dont you dont

[@realisticanims9032]

soo good

[@Chartechsstudio]

Thanks I really like your tutorials Please do I need to download the 3 simple renaming panel file??

[@JoeyCarlino]

That addon is optional. There is a bulk renamer built in. I think the shortcut is shift f2 maybe?

very nice video/i have to retopology the charector for dancing or no need?

One of the best tutorials on Rigging simple characters...was very helpful.. ---deadspirit6

[@cheexiong8759]

Hey Joey, big fan of your tutorials. Question, tutorial at 1:12, how did you mimic the 3D animation motions to that of the real video motion? Did you already mimic the 3D animation motions from the video and put them together?

[@JoeyCarlino]

I used the video as reference to try matching the motion. KZbin let's you go frame by frame with the period and comma keys ( . , )

[@cheexiong8759]

@@JoeyCarlino ah gotcha. Do you know if we can edit 3D characters in the blend to capture real-time motion? or a way to use rigg to mimic the real-time motion.

[@JoeyCarlino]

You mean using motion capture? You can check out mixamo for free mocap animations. I know there are other ways of getting mocap data without using suits, but I haven't tried any. Check for some AskNK videos, I bet he has some

[@cheexiong8759]

@@JoeyCarlino yea, motion capture. Thanks for the recommendations, I'll take a look at them.

I did one. Check the rigging playlist on my channel.

Thank you alot u have talent like me

[@boleymd687]

Thank you for the free awesome tutorial. I am having an issue where the foot will glitch out when I move the left or right IK.Leg. The foot spazes out and sticks to the floor then snaps back to place. If I right click to cancel the movement the foot stretches far out. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

[@JoeyCarlino]

Make sure the IK controller isn't parented to the leg

[@blender4newbies000]

I have a question can I combine my face an body rig by pressing "ctrl + j" and if yes then don I have to weight paint my head and body again or it will stay the same in that case???

[@madushajayakody3620]

Great tutorial for the new blender version. And do you have a solution for the problem shown at 0.58? I'm really struggling with that.

[@JoeyCarlino]

5:23 It's mostly making sure the mesh is dense enough so that you can fix the issue with weight painting. You can also try moving the armature modifier before the subdivision modifier.

[@madushajayakody3620]

Thank you very much

[@DavidBichoHasBeard]

18;27 "I am also going to rotate this", and there is a popup where you can select Active Element... How did you get that popup? There's no on-screen-short-cut for this magical keypress...

[@DavidBichoHasBeard]

Found it. The "."-key brings up this super secret, never seen before Pivot Point pie-menu. Thats a totally new one for me.

[@DavidBichoHasBeard]

And now, when knowing it's the "."-key, I of course see it in your on-screen-thing as well...

[@bookworm4133]

alright, now my weight paints are grey. Falloff seems to be present, but its not showing up as green, red, and blue. i tried looking it up, but i haven't seen anyone with the same issue

[@ArdenXD96]

After doing inherit rotation my knee was rotating in the opposite direction from the foot, not following it.

[@basiccomponents]

for the mirroring issue with the foot, why not simply apply the modifier?

[@superbonnie0720]

hello, is it normal that when i do the symmetrizing on my armature it does not go on the right but it just make a copy of the normal one but reverse with the .R. is there a way to fix it?

[@hasanbasryand6880]

Hi. Even if I do bone dressing etc as in this video, when I save my character to blender and print it out as fbx and then open this fbx in blender again, the bones are not connected to my character, so I destroyed the settings. The problem is of course with the export settings. I would appreciate it if you could specify a video source explaining the export.

[@nimomaniachannel]

10:47 you could just use a hand armature

[@tonyherrick7064]

My mesh jumps off the armature when I add with automatic weights... ever seen that?

[@akshaysplanet2780]

When I am going to symmetrize Then armature overlapping can you please fix this error

[@SuperFlyBallerz]

Quick question. i am having trouble getting accessories such as glasses and backpacks to stick to the body while moving the body as a whole, they still move when parenting to the armature but they almost float away. How could i get them to stick to the body ? Thanks :)

[@JoeyCarlino]

You could try parenting them to a specific bone, or if you're weight painting, make sure they only have weights attached to one bone. Like if it's glasses, make them only follow the head bone

[@SuperFlyBallerz]

@@JoeyCarlino lol I just figured that out, I appreciate the help though! It was driving me crazy

[@peopledontthinkthesunbelik3995]

I’m having a problem with the ik modifier, when I rotate the leg so the knee bends the right way, later on when I parent the rig to the mesh, it twists the meshes leg

[@pUteRIsms_]

currently have an issue where when the arms are moved, the shoulders become a twisted water bottle. Anyone know how to make the shoulders not do that?

[@diegoruiz1469]

this does not work for me i dont know if it was because i started off with a cube but it does not work when i try to ctrl+p and connect it with automatic weights is there another way?

[@bookworm4133]

im having a bit of trouble with rigging the leg. It kind of works but when i move the IK, it doesn't bend forward. It bends outward, like some kind of ballerina pose. I've tried fiddling with the rolls and the parents, but its not helping.

[@bookworm4133]

nevermind, i needed to reduce the chains. I was using 2 instead of 1.

[@Buster-jf8fz]

My legs won't bend

[@Mr.Glowshroom]

Ouch, see a doctor

[@TheCrazyCrabMan]

Neither will mine...

[@Buster-jf8fz]

[@BarbarosTheBarbarian]

Thanks for the tutorial. Is the renaming addon outdated? Mine has an exclamation mark next to it and it doesn't show in the side panel like yours.

[@JoeyCarlino]

I haven't tried it in 3.0, but it was working fine in previous versions. Blender can batch rename with Ctrl + f2 if you can't get the addon working

[@mostlycolin]

Where's the Charlie Day dancing rig video from?
