Intro to Rigging an Armature to a character in Blender 3.0

[@ВладиславМ]

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

[@the.editing.knight]

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.

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@duskosreef4952]

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

[@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 ♡

[@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

[@b_international8842]

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

[@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!!!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@ramen1879]

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

[@jamesdaane6272]

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

[@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

[@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!!!

[@vampireblood2016]

i sadly got an error when trying to parent the mesh. "Bone Heat Weighing. Failed to find the solution for one or more bones."

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@TreborKoor]

I'm still pretty new to this Blender stuff, but with a fair amount of pausing and rewinding, I now have a basic model with rigging. Thank you so much!

[@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!

[@TruthSurge]

thx for the tut. I got my man rigged and bones named but bones are sticking out of him unless I disable bones in side panel from showing. I guess that's how you render is just disable the armature at render time. Now I just need to figure out how to animate the poses! thx

[@courtneyfalz]

this is the most based and simple tutorial, I wish more people knew how to speak, thank u man

[@zramirez5471]

Fantastic job - being thorough AND concise is a gift!

[@thelastdev]

thanks

[@aj_cleo]

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

[@remydunn5654]

very helpful, never found a rigging video so easy to follow. Appreciate it very much, saved me loads of time!!!

[@thelastdev]

Glad it helped!

[@winterdream5710]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@deaiirtomilan]

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

[@autinjones7194]

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

[@jopa_ryds]

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

[@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.

[@Be3med]

i had your video paused and came to a realization, its actually pretty straight forward and then i crushed a mosquitoe

[@ralphguichette1]

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

[@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

[@eternaltunes4138]

First video that explained in details. Bravo Bravo!

[@noblesix2195]

my guy I've been at this for two hours watching blender's own video yours explains it so much clearer. #notallheroswearcapes

[@thelastdev]

I appreciate that!

[@Heraplayswith]

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 🙏🏾

[@blakeXYZ]

Hey Dale, thanks for taking the time to break everything down and explaining keywords. This is great content!

[@thelastdev]

My pleasure!

[@vjspectron]

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

[@vizdotlife]

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

[@thewisewillow]

this is literally the best rigging tutorial out there

[@Amero2005]

very usefull, i recently learned how to import models in gmod but my rigging skills are not so good so it deforms so much

[@Two_Ravens]

Making my own game. Made a rabbit today. I am going to use this to rig my rabbit, I will check back in when done. Edit: My rabbit has bones and the model properly moves. Awesome. Tutorial works great.

[@thelastdev]

awesome hope i can see it one day

[@DuncanTheDamned]

Ive had to watch this tutorial specifically every time I pick back up Blender thanks for your help

[@Mr_Professional_Guy]

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

[@bluecheese3601]

Fantastic video and easy to follow, many thanks for making and uploading, so very much appreciated:)

[@thelastdev]

You're very welcome!

[@elideeart7239]

Thank you for this! I've been hunting around for a tutorial that doesn't just use rigify addons - I want to know how to do this for myself first without relying on a drag and drop addon

[@HazbinBrainRot]

thank you so much

[@thelastdev]

Wow, thanks!

[@sonicmeerkat]

i didn't know order of selection actually mattered, the last tutorial i had checked simply said to select both the model and the rig, hopefully this fixes my issue thanks so much.

[@lethalborz]

Ill be real with you boss, this vid is so good and straight to the point ,Thank you. This helps me alot rather than relying on addons or websites that do medicore rigging i can just do it myself now.

[@thelastdev]

haha thanks

[@CupidGTag]

quick, easy, straight to the point. thanks!

[@thelastdev]

awesome:)

[@themeltedreviewer6710]

[@Breakinggood...]

TYSM i was tryna add bones to my jason model. u earned a sub.

[@thelastdev]

Thank you

[@MGForums]

For some reason it didn't work at first. Second time I selected the model before adding armature and it worked. Thanks.

[@cristovieneya8997]

Thank you so much. Exactly what I was looking for, my first skeleton rig in blender1

[@thelastdev]

Glad I could help!

[@GamerDudeBYT]

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

[@_K4m1k0_]

The tutorial was very well explained! I could understand for once how to 3D modelise! But I got a problem on the skinning part, each time I attempt to parent the armature to the character's body, the character somehow becomes giant and get in an horizontal position without the armature

[@dano6360]

Thanks for the tutorial, very clear and short
