How to Animate Characters {NEW} (Skinned Mesh Rigging) [Tutorial] {ROBLOX Studio}

[@tonkobanjo]

quick tip for more precise weight painting,name your bones so you can symetrize,then do the parenting process but instead of automatic groups do empty groups and go to edit mode,and go to vertex groups,select which area you want to be selected and click assign on the vertex group tab

[@dead.mortem]

If CTRL P isnt working do object > Parent > automatic weights. also, make sure you selected the object first and THEN the rig, bc the object needs to be parented to the rig, not the other way around. these are the two mistakes i made so if you're having trouble hopefully it helps

[@mrsquarewheels333]

do you know where the object button is on the menu

[@akidummy]

its on the top left corner along with some other buttons

[@ioan_1Fl]

For the people wondering ,,Object" is In ,,Object Mode". Object mode is on top left, second line from up to down, the second button from left to right where you select the 3 modes.

[@jinxgaming2]

correction: OBJECT MODE

[@juliobutinblender]

@@russtycrussty7884 you may have to merging by distance on edit mode because when your model has too much triangles you wont be able to normally assign automatic weights (if that is what you were doing) but still merging by distance on edit mode should work.

[@jerrytheduck-themimic9323]

omg thank you, i just wanted to make my models a little realistic and now its amazing, first i tested on a slenderman mesh and it turned out great!! ty :)

You are so helpful , I was trying to make a game where you fight the Pokémon like creatures and I didn’t want to separate every mesh part so I searched how to how to animate meshes and I saw your tutorial and it worked now the Pokémon like creatures have animation that don’t look like different parts

Damn I love this I have been struggling a lot with this problem you solved it in minutes thank you very much.

[@thewizardbrand]

I wish you showed keybindings on your screen so we know what buttons you pressed to be able to get to what areas or select what, cause blender is confusing asf like that. you still can but in captions

[@IrenDoesAnimations]

Hi there, blender 3d modeler here. I really appreciate this tutorial and I am hoping to be able to animate characters like this! :D

[@TheRealRoosterXD]

Finally a tutorial on animating meshes

[@clasick014]

This is what i call, easing style of animations (there are linear and stop motion style of animations if you want) its also an arial pose (Dynamic and action pose are also there too)

[@thewizardbrand]

This video showed me everything i’ve been stuck in for years

[@bigandsnoot]

Here's the thing, depending on how experienced you are with blender you might struggle with this. I myself found this tutorial fairly helpful but my only problems are what kind of models (meshes) to use, the majority of meshes I selected didn't really work such as a Paimon mesh I found on studio. I also had trouble gauging the timestamps in the video even with them slowed down .

[@Voxen712]

a very clear and detailed tutorial, thanks!

if you want a rigged model i suggest just goin on google and seqrching for it with rigged at the nd. e.g: boyfriend fnf rigged 3d model

[@kitteraly6320]

I dont know why but i laughed at the T posing bf

[@tatsu5517]

Can you do a tutorial on how to do this but instead while the player has an accessory on. So let’s say your wearing a cape, the cape will move while you have it equipped. I tried doing this on my own but for some reason when I try to make it a accessory and give it to the player the animation doesn’t play.

[@motivatedplayer69]

if I’m not wrong,the cape Or accessory has to be rigged and a local script has to be inserted into the model with animation loop on Then add a starter character and the cape on the model

[@motivatedplayer69]

Oh yeah place starter character in replicated storage if I’m not stupid

[@tatsu5517]

@@motivatedplayer69 Ok I’ll try that later and then I’ll let you know how it goes

[@doorclub]

@@tatsu5517 did it work?

[@teddystrix]

I don’t know if this will work but, if you connect the bones with ropes and make them not welded it may work without any scripts or stuff with roblox physics? Just a theory

Omg now i can place mesh in center!!! thankz

It's just too hard for me, I don't know why, even when I follow the steps and everything I end up getting something wrong, and it doesn't make it easier that blender is super hard to navigate and move around in, I think I'll stick to normal rig animating. Edit: The Most Difficult Part is the Paint Thingy, I hate it.

[@bendo168]

the only part hard about the paint is the fact that it refuses to actually paint (for example, puppet's neck wont paint red so it stops turning into a blob

If you are experimenting problems when you try to set parent using "CTRL+P", Then: 1: Select your rig. 2: Press "A" to select all. 3: Press "M" to merge. 4: Once the "merge" pannel opened, click "By distance". 5: It's fixed! And if you want the keybinds for each action: Scale: "S" on your keyboard. Drag/Move: "G" on your keyboard. Extrude: "E" on your keyboard. This comment will be updated later.

might be late but it has something to do with the mesh topology. mine was really messed up i fixed it by going to edit mode, selecting everything, pressing m, and clicking the options till something worked

select the mesh or both the mesh and the bones, press a to select all vertices, press m and click "by distance" then parent the mesh to the bone again
