Intro to Rigging in C4D: Part 5 - More on the Character Object and Features

[@yolandaguerrero-rebollo7870]

These are incredible courses. I do love to study with all of you . Maxon Team. You guys are amazing

[@kristiaan7823]

This course is has so much value in addressing all the little things I encountered and that kept me from finishing a rig I was 100% happy with over the past few years. Fantastic!

[@viralmoment123]

This has been undocumented in C4d for SO long... Just a few months ago I was digging for info and this is by far the best series out on this topic. Thank you so much. Seriously.

[@Joeherman]

You're welcome, I would agree. Thank you for your kind comment!

[@viralmoment123]

@@Joeherman No problem... I would love to see an episode on managing hierarchy and customizing the advanced biped rig in the character object -- stuff like best practices for adding custom bones / editing the advanced biped character object to fit something a little more tailored. Its definitely info that isn't really out there.

[@Joeherman]

@@viralmoment123 Thank you, all good suggestions which I will keep in mind in the future. Might want to follow my YT channel as well.

[@sheldondrake8935]

that's a neat trick, keeping the hands a single object so the weighting syms

[@stevemcmaster6283]

I'm sure you the Maxon Training Team and Joe have heard this enough, but this is the greatest tutorial series I've ever done, and I've done many. Keep it coming please.

[@Joeherman]

Haha! It’s never enough! Thank you for the comment, always appreciate it!

[@arnold_finch]

Thank you Joe. God bless you really. You too Elly. I hope to see more of Joe in the future. No hard feelings Elly. You are awesome too! I'm from Kenya and these schools around around here and quite expensive too for some of us. You have no idea how resourceful this is to everybody following, hopefully including Elly. LOL.

[@Joeherman]

You're welcome Arnold! I'm glad this course is proving to be so resourceful. Elly and I appreciate it!

[@zeinabdaem3665]

Great tutorial. Thank you so much❤ Could you also teach us about combining Cmotions and how to bake them?

[@bacharnahshon]

This class is amazing

[@DavidLevinson]

Another great class. Thank you.

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

When you're talking about fixing the rig after animation, I think the question was related to moving bones and resetting the the pose.

[@UlyssesStudios]

This course is great and I learnt a lot, but there nothing worse than weighting by hand. Is that true that auto weighting never works at all?

[@thelightsarebroken]

Loving this course, the pacing is perfect and its not condescending or infuriatingly rehearsed to depict that impossible sense of ease that a lot of tutorials portray. Iv always used rigging a little but often got to this 'elite' level of difficulty and gave up because of never getting a good grounding in the fundamentals, going through these classes has been great, its bridged a lot of gaps for me.

[@Joeherman]

Thank you, glad to hear that the course is providing the proper grounding in rigging. Cheers!

[@AmrAmin86]

Thanks so much Joe! Very Awesome tips.. And I hope you make some series like theses for character animation too.

[@Joeherman]

Coming up!

[@ИльяМансуров-ж8ю]

Thanks so much! I really enjoy watching this course.

[@Joeherman]

You’re welcome! I’m glad you are enjoying it. Cheers!

[@jonjones4972]

Wow. Just wow. Amazing workshop. Diamond. Where were you when I started the c4d journey 5 years ago? Would have saved me so much time and gray hairs:)

[@Joeherman]

I appreciate that. I have thought for some time that this would be a really useful thing to have a workshop on. Thank you for confirming that. Cheers! 🤝

[@Lucas3dlm]

Amazing class!

[@moazmehmood5790]

thank you so much joe and elly... i consider myself so fortunate to be learning from guys like you. I am having a problem, in weight painting my mesh is not going black. I have sub div turned off and weight manager is open and object iss selected. The only way to turn my mesh black is to activate the Weight Tool. but in the video you were able to see the black mesh without activating the Weight Tool. I hav edone everything as you did @17:02. Can you please guide me about it? I hope you have understood my issue

[@Joeherman]

You're welcome Moaz. Did you zero out the weights like I did by selecting all the joints and pressing the Zero button? That would remove all the weights and turn it black. Do you see colors on the mesh from the auto-weighting?

[@JO_Artificial]

I"ve finished rigging and weighting my character(a footballer), cant wait to send you my animation samples of him and other animations from this course.

[@MaxonTrainingTeam]

We can't wait to see them!

[@JO_Artificial]

@@MaxonTrainingTeam kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHuaXml3ncymbbs well i came up with a quick one, not top notch but it's my first character.

[@benmunyemana9154]

Well explained 👏

[@Joeherman]

Thank you! I appreciate that. I'll also be uploading videos to my KZbin Channel so you might want to follow there too.

[@brianmcmahon7711]

Don't be concerned. I haven't watched the last two parts, because I'm trying to implement what I learned in the first three shows before I forget everything. Lot's of rigid body models. Thanks.

[@Joeherman]

Thank you. Cool, I hope you're having fun!

[@davidemartinelli5761]

1:34:36, am I wrong or to make the character walking we need to use FK not IK arms? thanks in advance. by the way I've followed all the 6 parts and this course is amazing, learnt lot from you guys. thanks again

[@Joeherman]

You're welcome. And you are right in your assumption. They are FK arms.

[@piccolosamathegodofdestruc373]

My weights are putted properly but when I move my IK hands and feet and pelvis controls, geometry is getting messy

[@michaelkonomos]

Maybe I missed this, but is there a tutorial yet for how to animate dynamic C4D clothing, such as a dress or long coat? Something that hangs from the body, collides with it, and yet also reacts to the wind or objects around it?

[@marimar5279]

Marvelous designer or Clo3D are great for this! I But not sure if there is a tutorial on this inside C4D

[@deborahwhite6916]

I've followed this video several times now. When I go to animate I can't move the joints. The whole body moves. Very frustrating

[@DigitalArtTreasureBox]

官方教程最棒👍

[@saeidyaghani1015]

these series was great but why everyone talks about biped rigging?!other aspects of character like bird and insect are pretty cool?how to learn them?Maxon don't have any docs about them!

why this module cancel sketch and toon plugin?

[@Joeherman]

@@jeffreybeitz948 Hi Jeffrey. Here is what the issue is. Elly has travelled from London to Las Vegas and she is scrambling at the show. I am not sure she brought the files with her so I am thinking we need to wait until she gets back on Friday. Unfortunately NAB has popped up in the middle. I asked a few times. In any case, I am sure that when she gets back she will see to it immediately.

[@jeffreybeitz948]

@@Joeherman thanks for that. Appericated.

[@danteonfire1264]

i am a learner... can any one tell me how do deselect mesh which i painted by mistake by using weight tool.. I mean there is no erase mode in commands...

[@glenzhang3646]

Is it possible to add additional joint to the Character rig? For example what if my character got three eyes or two heads, the character tool doesn't let me create more than 1 head

[@marimar5279]

You can manually add a joint with the joint tool

[@scottsimmons6814]

So are all the project files offline already....?

I am going to ask Ms. Wade tomorrow. J.
