How to Rig ANYTHING in Blender!

[@MrDammed1]

ive never rigged anything in my life, however i am 99% sure you couldve just extruded a single bone for the neck and then subdivided the bone. and thanks for the video ill surely reference it once i get into rigging/animating

[@SharpWind]

You're 100% correct I just couldnt bother making sure the amount of subdivisions match the number of neck segments But im pinning this, bc i didnt explain it in the video :)

[@MrDammed1]

@@SharpWind i totally feel that

@@SharpWind u are kingapdo

[@MusicHenry10]

I know u helped in doing Minecraft animations but pls finish the episodes of ur series

[@SharpWind]

That was Apdo's series and i have nothing to do with it. He used my character rig in his series

[@EliousEntertainment]

Finally someone explains it in DETAIL! I've been watching 2 minute quick tutorials not knowing what I'm doing for SO LONG

[@SharpWind]

I see the same issue all over youtube. I thought I'd put all the essentials in 1 video to make it as clear as possible in a single place

[@redrum_1ghjh]

@@SharpWind thank you! Omg real good info

[@SavageDaAverage]

I love the visual representation.

[@SharpWind]

Was genuinely hoping people would say that, that took a big chunk of the effort :)

[@natu01]

I went from watching his old videos to learn Mine-imator to watching his new videos to learn blender. i cant escape this man and Im so happy about it

[@LitCrazyDJ]

Literally the best rigging tutorial I have ever encounter. Thanks Sharp.

[@Spittoon]

I hope the next course will focus on animation. There are some tutorials available, but they are not enough. I want to learn more. I want to make characters feel alive, like they do on “animschool.” I want to learn something different than just fighting, walking, and jumping.

[@aliqaheri2459]

Awesome tutorial! Thank you so much!

[@yoshy289]

Im not even half in this tutorial, but i already can say that this is so good. I hope your channel grows and gather curious people with unanswered questions like me. Keep it up!

[@markbaker758]

Thank you for this awesome tutorial! Спасибо за этот замечательный урок!

[@spacehunter2018]

attempted rigging a couple months ago, but tutorials never eplained IK very well for beginners. this is great!

[@SharpWind]

glad to serve, good luck with rigging!

[@DalB245]

This is no joke really helpful. Thanks a lot👍 Also cool new Tattoos

[@erumaaro6060]

doing the the ropes should be pretty tricky. Depending on what the rope is/does. I assume it's an electrical cable and the tension(not the electric one) doesn't affect the motionand "simply dangles", then you would need a chain of bones inside the cable with IK to have it deform the correct way. the pull vector would need to be controlled by gravity or rather acceleration+"gravity", so we use a scripted driver for that one. And then we get into the weeds with collisions and dampening...

[@obedhardiwinata7784]

OHMYGOOD THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@ansems3309]

That is such an amazing video! Just one small extra: based on how the legs are connected to the body, the shouldn't be able to turn on every axis. What I like to do on robots (especially like those spider creatures) is to give the "elbow" a hinge so that it can bend up and down and the "shoulder" a hinge that's sideways so that it can only rotate left and right.

[@SharpWind]

Yeah, thats fair I mostly just ignored it in the animation (the robot technically shouldn't be able to do what it did), but i didnt wanna overcomplicate it either Good eye!

[@scyada15]

I've always been looking for a rigging tutorial like this

[@Nehil-ai]

what are you selling? ::suspicious:: ! Kidding... lot of efforts put in this video! Great explaining!

[@SharpWind]

Im actually buying - your souls when you sell them to Blender We're all in this together

good video , easy to understand , please make similar detailed videos very helpful for beginners like me , thankyou for the excellent content.

I have one on motion tracking, but i plan to make more, 100%

You bet i did 😉

[@Rasool-2]

Hello, the cartoon was really great, I just had a question, is there a way to use the mixamo animation mode for mine-imator, can you make a tutorial video in this field 🙏🙏

[@mixchief]

@SharpWind Is it OK to delete the objects you use to create the custom control objects? Do you often to do that?

[@SharpWind]

Nah, they need to be in the project. Best thing to do is to put them in a new collection and just turn it off, so you dont have to think about it anymore

[@RobixCRAFT]

There is an issue when I tried to make the IK bones ( <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="655">10:55</a> ) but after I rotate the leg to align with the PV bone, The bend doesn't face the PV bone. Idk why but after that happened, I just remake the IK and It's works. Like that have happened to me twice now.

[@SharpWind]

Usually the PV angle is done last, after the chain length I kind of mentioned those out of order, and you can see the angle values being different in both of my clips, because i had to correct it, that's my bad :)

[@RobixCRAFT]

@@SharpWind That didn't work. It's still happened. I thought It was the order problem too but I tried couple of times now.

[@fullcountercodm5925]

big fan of arcane here idk if you've seen the intro and all that smoke in the intro can you make a tutorial on remaking the arcane intro XD

[@SharpWind]

arcane was AMAZING - i'm sure that after season 2's release in november, i'll get a new motivation rush for it, like i did with my Zaun project

[@erumaaro6060]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1845">30:45</a> I think the head and neck should not be able to rotate, its like a chain of universal joints. jmpo

[@barebaric]

Does rigging also work for mechanical subassemblies? I mean collections of objects that don't have "bones", but can be assembled and disassembled.

[@SharpWind]

Of course, you'd put bones inside them and treat the bones as "controls" for the object - you usually never want to keyframe actual geometry, only controls and bones and such Plus it would give you more control with contraints and smart systems

[@cnxdnt]

The video is great, but you could help viewers focus better by reducing the switching between the screen and your face camera. Sometimes, you switch to the camera for just 1 second, then back to the screen for 1 second, and then switch again to the camera. It's very hard to stay focused.

[@SharpWind]

I didnt want to lose the video pace, but noted, thanks!

[@wildanrosyada7787]

i like his gizmo tattoo on his neck. is it function? what if i separate it between neck and the head? hmmm...

[@SharpWind]

I actually made it to make it easier for Autodesk's leadership to execute me, for spreading Blender propaganda - but Z is up, so im not sure they'll be down (joke, obviously lol)

saving and rewatching this video until i understand, eventually everything will just click. Main reason i didn't do the last pwinsher challenge was because i didnt know how to attach the rig to my model, smh
