The QUICKEST way to RIG your Characters! Blender 3D Tutorial

[@TheExFatal]

I just started modeling in Blender, and I feel like I just stumbled upon some forbidden knowledge. This is fantastic.

[@lewisanimation]

Awesome! Thank you so much :)

[@swanclipper]

it is forbidden. i was forboden. But now i have the knowledge... I... HAVE, THE POWER!

[@Dikko]

Perfect tutorial! Great pacing and just enough info to make it all understandable.

Not gonna lie, rigify should use this method by default.

[@SortOfEggish]

Have you found a way to add this hip setup to a rigify rig? I'm attempting it as I type, and not having much luck so far. Putting this hip setup in the metarig before Generating doesn't create the proper deformation bones, but they DO stay in the metarig copy. So I think I need to Generate a rig, then Join the Bendy Hips to that rig before I parent with Auto weights

[@cgbox9437]

​@@SortOfEggishdid u try after generating rig? I hvnt tried though.. But i think base adding to the base guide bones wd be useless

[@jdamagedgoods]

Why is lying even an option?

[@apraxas]

Use the proper rig types

[@mehck2]

@@jdamagedgoods because we live in a polarized energetic system where Truth = Positive and the opposite of Truth = Negative, and Truth cannot exist without it's counterpart. Every facet of our reality is a dualistic system at the core. Even the planet we live on is a polarized energy field (that's how "gravity" works, also how a compass works). By the OP signaling that they would not lie, they are attempting to communicate Truth and, by doing so, they are broadcasting positivity.

[@dustwavethemusic]

Fantastic man! Such an amazing trick that will relieve a lot of time and frustrations for both new and advanced riggers. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@lewisanimation]

No problem! Glad you enjoyed, has definitely saved me a lot of time so thought I'd share :)

[@cranberryvodka7051]

Can confirm it also works amazingly with quadrupeds, even with very little geometry definition between the limbs and the body. You can even get fancy and add a second set of these to the shoulder. Might have to weight paint a little, but it's nothing compared to what you'd have to do otherwise Can't believe my months of struggle are finally over 😅

[@lewisanimation]

Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this :)

[@lfgarrocho]

Bbones are great, but not so great if you're planning to export the armature to a engine. The way I do it, and it generally takes 90% of the weight painting job away is using a mix of support bones (similar to what you did, but with no Bbones), and pre automatic weights planned bone placement. For the hips I just move the leg bone to about the end of the pelvis. Then I skin it, and then move up the bone back to its regular position. If you understand a bit at how the bone position affect its envelope weight it really speeds up the process.

[@channelname8623]

Why are b bones not so great for exporting to an engine?

[@Nevetsieg]

@@channelname8623 “not so great if you're planning to export the armature to a engine” I was thinking exactly the same question. If you rig like this then you can only animate it in Blendre, or re-invent bbone in other software like UE. This is why they make so many support bones in their standard skeleton rig.

[@haramberinokripperino7770]

I’m completely new to game engines, but can you make all the character animations in blender and use the animations on the game engine without a need of the bones? Will there be problems like changing from an animation to another? Because I remember watching some tutorials where they could animate the bottom part of the model with a running anim and the top part was aiming and shooting but idk (and don’t remember) if they were using rigs in the game engines or just imported animations

[@Nevetsieg]

@@haramberinokripperino7770 Yes bones are essencial in games. Characters use bones to record animations instead of vertices, because most of the character animations a procedural, not pre-baked sequences. And animations can be re-used only on similiar skeletons, or you will need to do alot of extra work to retarget them.

[@haramberinokripperino7770]

@@Nevetsieg so its pointless to make rigs and animation in blender if you want to make a game? Just make the model in blender then make the anims in unreal engine?

[@im_Dafox]

I think no one on earth despite weight painting as much as I do. This tutorial is a GEM, thank you so, So much man 🤝❤️

[@lewisanimation]

I understand your pain, I'm very glad I could help :)

over a year old and you never fixed your typo

[@schirleyamaral]

I love it, please make more videos about using this method in others bodies parts 🤩 Thank you so much!!

[@jago1996]

Could you alert the autorigpro guys of this so they can implement this? It's wonderful. Or perhaps make the addon yourself but that's a whole can of worms.

[@frigontech]

Its not perfect but if its researched upon and trial tested then this could make its to the industry level RIGs.

This is the comment I was Looking for. This needs a pin😇

[@ZeMovinPixxle]

THIS NEEDS A PIN youre a hero m8

[@thebomu]

You only do this for the hips? Isn't there other parts that you use this method?

[@David_KAYA]

For any one stuck on "CTRL+ALT+S" part, try "SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+S".

[@NegInfinity]

Sadly, this won't work in game engines, as bendy bones are not standard.

[@caporacetuning6581]

Amazin Tutorial! Does this work in Unreal Engine 5 after exporting it from Blender?

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you! :) and I don't work with Unreal so unfortunately I don't know

[@momosbreath9713]

This is where AI should take over, just click a button and AI does the weight painting perfectly. AI should help the creator and not take over the process.

[@lewisanimation]

It would indeed be a very useful tool that I'm sure we'll see at some point

[@eknight2904]

can you do something on proper arm deformation, too? Especially armpit muscle effect is so hard to achieve and most animations look pretty awful as a result. Thx master of rigging 👍😎

[@lewisanimation]

I haven't worked out anything special for arm rigging yet but will certainly share if I do! :) The best I can recommend is looking into shape keys so you can sculpt in the correct deformations for the different poses. You can even use shape keys while animating that if there's a specific pose that doesn't look right you can add a new shape key and sculpt adjustments just for that specific shot

[@huskonoir]

Can this new rig import into Unity? Specifically version 2019.4.31f1

[@saheimali3674]

Will this cause any problems when using rigify or exporting to ue5?

[@lewisanimation]

I don't think bendy bones export to game engines, and I'm not sure how it works with rigify

[@ibeastee2435]

I attempted this and always got a “Failed to set value” error message whenever I attempted to set the target to the armature on the Stretch To constraint. Does anyone know why this may be happening and how to resolve it?

[@the-guy-beyond-the-socket]

Youre in object constraints. Bone constraints are lower and icon looks lika a meat ona bone.

[@andreassvensson811]

Can you achieve something similar for game characters aswell, where stretching functionality can't be exported? Or do you have any nice tricks or solutions for game characters aswell that will be exported for engines like Unity or Unreal Engine?

[@lewisanimation]

I don't work with any game engines unfortunately so I don't know what would work best

[@danielryb6210]

I tried this setup without using bendy bones. I can confirm that with some additional manual weight painting it does work. You can then bake the animation onto the game rig and export it for use in a game engine.

[@lewisanimation]

@@danielryb6210 Amazing! This will be helpful to a lot of people

[@NICK....]

if i had to guess at why this works so well i'd imagine it's because it's replicating the dynamics of actual muscle better? i wonder if there could be some more generalized nugget of information somewhere in here that could be applied to every joint

[@eviltwin2322]

I imagine this could be adapted for the shoulders too. Booting up my laptop...

[@radicant7283]

Had a similar idea a while back and tried it on an old model with kinda bad topology. Worked like a charm. We're basically doing poor man's muscle sim using extra bones. Only caveat with this is you can't export bendy bones to game engines iirc. In my setup I used about four bones with Stretch To around the hip and a few helper bones around the pelvis to control the auto weights better.

[@2bit8bytes]

"Only caveat with this is you can't export bendy bones to game engines iirc." Did you find any ways to adopt it, all or part? Or some other method that's like this?

[@PostEater]

Maybe use the keys and this metod together? Bones for correct bending, keys for maintaining geometry and subsequent transfer to another system?

[@PostEater]

Or use real subdivision for bones, not virtual? Create more real bones for geometry.

[@AdmDi]

I think that you can just save these bones like a project. And save more time, because you don't need to do these bones again!

[@GeorgeOu]

Is it possible to keep that center pubic bone to stay still? It's not supposed to drop in real life as the legs open.

[@memeguy7589]

What about baking and exporting a model with an animation to game engines? Will bends be maintained?

[@askhatabdirazakh3577]

This will change my life And I do not even rig anything in my life

[@kenthouston467]

Great tip! I wonder if it would work on shoulders ...

[@lewisanimation]

I haven't tried on the shoulders yet but it might work!

[@ziroadoki_]

DUDE, you are a fucking wizard! AMAZING tutorial!!! please, do more blender tutorials!!!

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you so much! Plenty more tutorials and content on the way :)

[@UncleSalad]

rigging the hips has made me kinda give up on modeling actual characters, because I can never make it look right and I couldn't find any practical solutions in the past, but thanks to you I might start doing it again... also... that constraint at 5:21??? when tf was that added? that's amazing, so much of my stuff needs that constraint.

[@lewisanimation]

Really glad I could help :)

[@sametayaz4891]

Can you also make a tutorial for the arms and shoulders?

[@GustavoSanchez-fp6rd]

Fantastic tutorial. Any tips on how one could make a similar setup for the character to display the same deformations but for a game engine? Unfortunately b-bones are a feature exclusive to Blender.

[@wegotguns3325]

I'd also like to know how we can do this so we can export for other programs and engines.

[@kenalpha3]

+1000 Can you explain to us which of these Blender settings are relevant to UE4? Or show how [if we need to] to ["bake?"] these bendy bones into animations, which we then export?

[@lewisanimation]

Unfortunately I don't work with any game engines so I don't know how it could work. From the look of other comments I think Bendy Bones might be exclusive to Blender

[@GustavoSanchez-fp6rd]

@@lewisanimation Indeed. I was just hoping to find some way to make something similar without having to make the same amount of bones as those in the divisions of a bendy-bone, and a complex setup for them, since game engines are all about using as little as possible. Thanks for the reply anyway. Your art and tutorials are phenomenal.

ohh woow , i remember when i had the 1st time i download blender on 2003 or 2004 i downloaded it was on a Diskette 1.44mb compressed with winzip and it had that iconnthat looked like a eye / hand/ rastafary i made a horrible sephiroth winged angel poligonal model , very horrible , and i was so proud lol never used again , i went for 3d studio max 4 but now , dang!! blender is a beast!! it has everything from other modeling ,sculpting , animating etc softwares like Zbrush , maya , 3d max , unreal engine ETc but still i never learn how to use it , maybe i should learn .. i love 3Ds Max 2014 , best UI ever zbrush UI suck

[@lewisanimation]

Learning Blender was 100% one of the best decisions I've ever made! In my opinion it's the easiest software to learn today as so many people use it so there's so much information and tutorials available. I learnt most of what I know just from KZbin :)

[@Omnivoid22]

omfg . This is GOD DAMN FANTASTIC. PLease tell me you have or are going to do all joints . Cuz i have such a hard time making my rig looks natural with bending

[@WesleySales1]

What an amazing tip! Thanks for sharing!

[@lewisanimation]

You are very welcome! :)

[@shoutykenneth5115]

This shit is the definition of "Work smarter, not harder".

[@andrewscott985]

You: _"I'm gonna show you a method to create one of the most complicated joints - the hips."_ The shoulders: Am I a joke to you? Me: Oh no, a nightmare, rather. ---------------------------------------- Thank you for making this. Cheers. P.S. Wouldn't some bones that resemble more the pelvic cage, return even better results? P.P.S. Considering how much Blender is evolving and how often, it's rather odd to me that the developers do not take into account the redesign of the armature. I mean, common, does anyone really expect for an armature that COMPLEETLY lacks hip and upper torso bones, to return even decent results?

[@lewisanimation]

I'm yet to acquire the courage to find a working solution for the shoulders XD There possibly may be some better solutions for the hips, I can understand why they try and keep the armatures super simple for things like mocap and game engines maybe, but of course that doesn't help for the painful weight painting process. I mainly approached this just to help people that hate weight painting feel more confident creating their own characters. Thank you so much for your comment! :)

[@DejiDigital]

HOW DID YOU FIGURE THIS OUT? IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!! 🤣🤣would this work with rigify?

[@lewisanimation]

A lot of testing! And I haven't tested it with rigify yet but if I find a solution I'll be sure to share it :)

Where was this video a month ago, KZbin?..(( Thanks, man, that's brilliant!

[@lewisanimation]

Happy to help! :)

[@csiri6758]

This is fucking genius stuff!!!!! Thanks! What's the origin of this technique? Your idea? Brilliant and thanks either way!

[@lewisanimation]

It's a variation on what the Blender studio use for their stylised characters but I found the deformations work great on realistic ones too! Glad you enjoyed :)

[@ericfieldman]

If this works, you're a godsend! I'm continually feeling like I'm failing at all this stuff, and trying to take on the hips was an extra huge blow to morale. Glad to know it's not just me. If anybody else is struggling, I'm still bad at getting stuff done, but I've learned the essentials on many fronts in the first eight months of having my first computer, by just trying to listen to every bit of info out there and skipping to a different thing the second I completely don't understand. Don't confuse that with laziness, it's just the practicality of knowing you'll understand everything better if you ease in and generalize until the dogmas click, and that you aren't built to work like a machine at one thing for a long time, most likely. I myself am going to try to give up the prospect of finished animation for a while until I go back to basics and use the isolation to learn all the tips, tricks, nooks and crannies. If anybody else has thoughts to share about sane productivity, maybe we can siphon data off each other. Anyway, stay strong, people 💪

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you so much for the comment! The best thing I can recommend is to do loads of mini projects each that focuses on a new technique each time. Then over time you're abilities build up and you start to be able to combine the skills into bigger projects. That's the way I did it! Another thing I'd recommend with characters is you don't need to make an entire production ready perfectly weight painted character if you're only going to use it once for a few shots. Do the very basics quickly, animate the scene and then if there are any deformations that look off on the poses, add and keyframe a shape key and sculpt it so it looks right from the camera view. I spent loads of time when I started trying to get perfect deformations for poses that the character was never going to be in, and now I save so much time! Finally, also be aware that you don't have to make every single thing in the scene, it's good to get an understanding of how everything works but definitely have the goal of building up an asset library of textures and assets so in the future you can have more fun building the scenes rather than spending ages trying to model and texture everything! :)

[@ericfieldman]

@@lewisanimation yeah, right now I'm just going to take a step back and read through a lot of the documentation until I understand everything I can, cause it seems like there's always more to it. I'm probably a bit too much of a perfectionist to use other people's assets but having my own ones organized would definitely be cool. Maybe one day I'll turn into one of those freaks who can make a perfect model in 3 minutes

[@lewisanimation]

I agree that there's so many benefits to rigify, I'll have a look into it! :)

[@hughchester]

Could you do one for shoulders? And maybe hands?

[@YourFavouriteColor]

Hello there. I'm an animator who's pretty new to rigging. Is there any way I can gain understanding of some of these steps on a conceptual level? In particular, the area where you set "tangent" space, I could follow the instruction but got lost on the conceptual level, or the "why."

[@lewisanimation]

If you use the Blender reference manual, that contains explanations for every individual setting and tool within Blender and it is very useful to help understand what everything is for :)

[@vasu4340]

What is difference between normal stable version and LTS version of blender? Which should I use?

[@lewisanimation]

LTS is long term support which I believe means it's the version to use if you're doing very long term projects often in studios. If you're doing regular projects you can just keep downloading the latest normal version, that's what I do :)

[@JiReyAnimation]

Does that technique work on the knees? If not, what would you recommend for those?

[@lewisanimation]

I haven't tested it with the knee joint but I imagine it's possible. If it doesn't then using shape keys connected to a driver is always a great way to fix problems

[@akashsaxena9366]

Very interesting. Weight painting is going to be more performant, though I'm not sure what the performance hit is going to be. Also, if you're rigging for a game, and using a game engine, they might not support bendy bones at all.

[@yahootube90]

Yeah, far as I know, bendy bones don't translate into game engines. Even if they did, I'm not sure it'd be worth adding multiple extra bones just to avoid weight painting... as much as I hate weight painting 😅

I've also seen a front bone used that covers the iliac crest region down to the groin in a line, and a bone for the buttock, used as deformation helpers. Anyway, nice tutorial; anything that can get people out of weight painting as fast as possible is a massive time saver, no matter the exact Blender trick used.
