Let's MODEL and RIG a Pirate in 10 MINUTES in Blender 2.82 - ep. 11

Welcome to episode 11 in my 10 Minute Blender Modeling challenge. This time it's my biggest challenge yet as I try to model a low poly pirate as well as making it fully rigged with full body control, foot roll, finger control, forward and inverse kinematic for both legs and arms! I hope you enjoy this episode - you can download the model here: www.dropbox.co...
I use Blender 2.82 with the Rigify addon (included with Blender, you just have to enable it in preferences).
Stay until the end of the video for 4 Blender tips this week! Take care everyone!
Here is a link to the palette texture that I used: lospec.com/pal... it's called pinapple from the lospec site.

I've been looking to get into sculpting and rigging recently, this video is actually a great starter point to give a summary of how it's done. Awesome job!

Hi...I watched your Video and I modeled it to and my rig was perfect😊👌😊

[@Labyrnthdom]

So that’s what rigify is! Hell I can barely model. Much less put bones 🦴 and rig it. That’s a pretty cool texture pallet your using. Is that available for adding to ours? Also, I just ran across your channel. Do you do these type lo poly videos slower from the start for people to follow? Or are they all speed modeling videos? Something like this video but slowed down would be real helpful to people.

When you connected head to the body you used vertex snap but a faster method would be to use "Bridge" in loop tools addon, If you have that enabled. Im sure you would save few secounds by that

Sweet, thank you very much for the tip! I will definitely check out the Loop Tools - I just started to use the Bool Tool today for the next video.

[@WaterShowsProd]

@@Imphenzia You can also switch on Auto-merge in the Properties Panel to automatically merge vertices when dragged on top of each other. This is controlled by the distance option which powers the Merge By Distance feature, so if 2 vertices land within that distance they will automatically merge if active.

[@pabooklas4628]

Im not sure if you know or not, but to do the neck, instead of deleting the two faces and then connecting the four vertices one by one you can select the two faces then Ctrl+E and press bridge edge loops. No double verticies that way. Great job man!!!

Hey ! Great work ! One question though : when I do like you and try to generate the rig, because I have deleted some bones rigify throws an error and the generated rig doesn't work. (It says missing bone...) How comes you don't get that error ?

[@Imphenzia]

Hi! Thanks =) There are some bones that you are not allowed to delete. If you try to delete a single face bone it won't allow you unless you remove the entire face as far as I know. With the hands, it seems that fingers are OK to get rid of if you delete the entire finger chains. I wish it was possible to delete any bone too, especially for the face as I'd like to just keep eyebrows for example.
