10:14 If you are using Blender 4.0, there have been some changes. Now, you need to press the Ctrl + Shift combination to select a bone

[@MoonKnight_AE]

everything went correct but after the skinning part the character is not moving with the bones

[@iliaszaazaa7017]

Straight to the point . Thank you for saving our time and sacrificing yours to help us.

[@theoneechanman]

After many failed attempts over the years, I'm finally getting into blender. Thank you so much for making this tutorial. It helped a lot!

[@ramen1879]

One of the best tutorials ever. I've been struggling to link my armature to mesh and this solved it instantly. Thank you

[@toycat263]

Hey bro, this is one of the best tutorials i've ever seen. You took your time to explain everything. Ive been using blender for about a week now and this has helped me understand how bones are applied, and poses made very easily. Wishing you success!

[@thelastdev]

I appreciate that!

[@jacobhernandez4347]

New to blender here, ive decided to practice on movement this month and this tutorial helped out alot thanks for the time to make this.

[@b_international8842]

this was so straight forward and simple, thank you for your time and knowledge

[@captureinsidethesound]

Dale, thanks. This is by far the best video ive seen for rigging a character. I don't think I saw anywhere in which you state "but first you must" or at least not unnecessarily. Explaining things in linear form is the best way for some of us lol. Blessings bro.

[@thelastdev]

I appreciate this comment bro thanks

[@matkaiser8288]

I've been trying to mess around with rigging/armatures for a while now (kind of lazily, to be honest), but this video was so perfectly straightforward. Awesome video man, SUPER helpful!

[@windsweptconcept7261]

Thank you, my guy. Videos like this are just the best of KZbin. Incredibly thankful that people make these free tutorials. And this was amazing! Thank you!

[@thelastdev]

I appreciate that!

[@brandon_iceberg]

I am so thankful I found your tutorials! You are very good at explaining and demonstrating what you are doing. As someone who has 0 Blender skills I found this to be very helpful and useful!

[@sarcasme-_-6549]

Bro, I"m trying to learn rigging and I had this exact issue of these artefacs. you went straight to the point unlike other video's. That a like and a follow big man.

[@jamesdaane6272]

I was struggling for an entire night with other tutorials then this worked straight away, thanks man.

[@pierrecrenshaw7874]

I've heard of rigging before but this video really put it in perspective to get me started, Thank You.

[@vaineislive4798]

thank god someone that explains things for real. i would never learn that it was called "skinning", i mean, in this case its not necessary but i suppose u have other videos with the processes names that could really help me in my learning. thanks a lot for the great tutorial!!!

[@gmlaster]

I'm officially a fan. You're not just a great technician. You're a great TEACHER. Liked and subbed. You've got a new student. This was AWESOME!!!

[@excaliber_bruh]

This helped me rig a model where other tutorials were over complicated and werent very useful. Fast and straight to the point. Thank you

[@thelastdev]

just started a discord to grow my community if you want to join here's the link: discord.gg/rMqy93QD

[@winterdream5710]

Was actually able to understand all this without having to open blender and go along with it - THANK YOU!

[@vjspectron]

Excellent tutorial, especially the way you always explain your keystrokes as you're doing it!

[@autinjones7194]

Thank you! Must have tried a dozen different tutorials and this is the first one that actually worked!

[@linusfornow]

Thank you, SO MUCH!!!! I have been trying for ages to rig models! Your tutorial was the only one clear enough to get through my thick skull!!!

[@thelastdev]

Glad I could help!

[@jpryding]

I'm a 2d artist but really needed a 3d model that i could pose for photoshop layers, this has helped so much. Thanks!

[@zevalin]

Just the style of tutorial I love. Quick but still covered enough for me to learn the task. Great work.

[@thelastdev]

Glad it was helpful!

[@powerstone909]

I've never used blender and I was able to rig a model in 10 mins thanks to you. Keep up the great work!

[@thelastdev]

Glad I could help!

[@zramirez5471]

Fantastic job - being thorough AND concise is a gift!

[@thelastdev]

thanks

[@wizwizington1758]

thanks, i found that having the hip bones is really really important, for some reason most other tutorial makers just do the spine and then leave a huge gap between spine and leg bones with no hip bones, idk why, thanks thanks

[@Mr_Professional_Guy]

Giving us the how and the why made this so clear. Much appreciated!

[@TransGuyShane]

I tried following this without audio and managed to link my arms and legs together. Following with audio was much more helpful haha I managed to fully rig my first 3d project (a purple grung (a dnd race) called Argh Stickyfeet) within 10 minutes. Thank you ♡

[@thelastdev]

Haha great stuff

[@TransGuyShane]

@@thelastdev thanks ♡

[@sfazal.]

Omg thank you so much for this...been having so many issues rigging characters all this time and had zero clue on using weight paint mode for better control over effected areas....

[@thelastdev]

You're so welcome!

[@vizdotlife]

This was a fantastic tutorial breaking down the very basics of rigging. Very helpful....thank you

[@aj_cleo]

TYSM!! Ive been looking everywhere for this and this is the only accurate tutorial I’ve seen so far, great job :)

[@crystalnadeau254]

This video was super straight forward even for someone like me who's never rigged a model before. Thank you so much!!

[@thelastdev]

glad to help

[@osmankalaajie2594]

Very straight forward, most of other videos concerning rigging are complicated.

[@ralphguichette1]

I haven't tried this yet, but thiss is by far the best rigging video I've seen.

[@felixfish8899]

This is a great tutorial! Really straightforward and easy to follow.

[@g0th1cazn]

I like your tone of voice and how calm you are and that you didn't pause too much or use um's and ah's.

[@bluecheese3601]

thank you so much for this tutorial!! ive been trying to rig a model for a few months and this is the only video that worked

[@deaiirtomilan]

The way you explained made me think I could be a pro but I’ll give this all a try tomorrow 🙏🏾

[@Rightbackatchya]

Brilliant - thanks for putting this very to the point video together

[@shawnboundy3716]

This was very quick and precise. Excellent video =) Thank you!

[@Nemorih]

I'm about to do my first rigging and I feel like this tutorial will be really helpful for that 👍

[@petesimchuk2325]

[@courtneyfalz]

[@thelastdev]

[@coldbeyond]

Thank you for your great tutorial! I'm so new to 3D modelling stuff. And the tutorials like yours taught me a lot. Thanks 💖

[@thelastdev]

Thanks 🙏🏾

[@alankilpin2511]

What can I say? this a very clear example of effective tutorial comment. Thank you, I learned something.

[@mldy1]

W video great simple intuitive explanation yet still encompasses potential caveats.

[@gtpspromoter7416]

ye i agree with the others... by far the best rigging tutorial :) ty for actually saying "how" to do stuff unlike others who just say "what" they're doing...

[@thelastdev]

Thanks for the kind words

[@liamhowie2040]

Thank you for the video. I don't use blender much and this has been a great help to rigging up stls.

[@thelastdev]

Tans,glad to help

[@VaniyaSei]

Appreciate the video. Very informative and gave me what I needed to know to start messing with models

[@yumanai5615]

You are the best, this was super accessible and easy to follow. Thank you so much!

[@stevenray8737]

Very good video. I'd done rigging'n'skinning in Maya so long ago that I needed a refresher, but now using Blender. Cheers.

[@Attaxalotl]

Incredibly helpful! I cannot thank you enough!

[@normalcivilian]

Thank you for this video, straight to the point and easy to follow.

[@kasualkalamari]

I’m new to blender as well as making my own game, I haven’t tried this out yet but it was very simple and straightforward to understand. I’m excited to apply this to the characters I make :)

[@Animesther]

Hey same here, how did it go? For me it started to have some problems with posing. :/ For example, if I want to rotate the body, half of the mesh stays where it was, it's like some weird stretching. Edit: I solved the problem, for now.

[@kasualkalamari]

@@Animesther hey sorry I haven't tried this tutorial yet since I'm focusing on making assets for the game. But how did you solve this? just in case the same happens to me.

[@Animesther]

@@kasualkalamari didn't really solve it yet but I think the weight painting and correct remishing will help

[@GamerDudeBYT]

Amazing Tutorial. Love using it. I don't remember having to do ctrl + shift and i am on 4.1.1

[@Erich.C]

I'm Impressed. This Seems Very Easy And Simple, Though Maybe A But Tricky. Overall, You Did A Great Job Here.

[@mloppies]

This helped me out so much! Thanks for sharing the knowledge!

[@thelastdev]

Glad it helped!

[@eduardobarboza9499]

Very useful video! no small talk.

[@beneckersley17]

Thankyou, I'm trying to learn blender at the moment and a guide that is as straightforward as this one is is realy useful.

[@thelastdev]

You're very welcome!

[@victoriahawley9667]

Hi, I've just followed your instruct for this and it worked!!! I've been trying and pulling my hair out with this for a while so it's a start with me to master rigging and animation. Thanks V much.

[@thelastdev]

Awesome!!! glad to help. When you get those basics down you may want to watch my other video on RIgify, it will speed up your workflow and help you understand controllers, and more kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWaVcmCBatl_esU

[@scp-reimagined3368]

are you bald yet

[@diegoarce490]

I am going to do away with all the auto rig add on. There is always something wrong with them when I bring the rigged model to Blender. You made it very easy to understand. You were as straightforward, concise and as easy to follow. Thank you

[@zackx1]

Man, this was a pretty simple tutorial, that pretty neat. thanks for this man, this helps me out a lot. I took a lot of notes. now I have some basic knowledge on Rigging. Keep up the good work.

Finally tutorials that concentrate on actual explaining in a simple and understanding way, instead of some authors who are trying to look "cool" and smart by babbling chaotically without really explaining anything.

[@thelastdev]

Haha thanks

[@FlyCinematic.]
