How to Rig and Animate in BLENDER!

[@N00BleSouP24]

This is a semester in college worth of information in a video, I have a degree and used Autodesk Maya for it, literally a whole semester woulda been rigging a character like this manually lmao SOLID video, and you're hilarious

[@diddykologaming]

Seconded but with much fewer credentials ^ lol

[@themalcontent100]

Welcome to youtube.

[@gravitrax6478]

OMG IKR??? I tell you Maya is rigged

[@josiahthiesen]

Dude, this was one of the best tutorials I've seen. You didnt waste time and were entertaining. Thanks for breaking down rigging for me!

[@Tskzxy]

One of the best tutorials I've ever seen, it tells everything and also tells you how to fix problems you might find while process

[@datadesign5260]

Thanks for this. Now I know I don't ever want to create a 3D character! Saved me a lot of time and sanity and crying and screaming. Thanks again.

[@ledelgriffin9534]

Lol

[@SadTown99]

Well the good news is you never have to do it again & have a functional animation or game ready character, that looks freakin sick… and a new therapist.

[@insertanynameyouwant5311]

I can totally understand that, but you can use Mixamo to autorig any human-like model and then doing some key frames animation, which is still time consuming but ok

[@gwyn_ch]

So, 1 video is enough to stop you? How pathetic

[@Dewey_shorts]

Pathetic mindset

[@vedhavallee5015]

hello there ☺ For those struggling to apply automatic weigths, you can simply scale your character up in size (i scaled up to 14m for a character at around 2m in height). Once scaled up you can apply the automatic weight and check if the character is working in pose mode. If all is good, you can scale you character back to it's normal size. And you should be good to go ☺ have a nice and safe day whatever you are doing ☺

[@AmolLalSao]

Can you explain me one thing ?? Why you are soo awesome??

[@League_of_CK]

Tysm, i've been searching why for sooooo long

[@Wickd_cc]

can u help me with this problem , my model 'Godzilla' keeps teleporting when i apply the weights

[@CeceMelchor]

@@Wickd_ccI laughed so hard at this b/c it’s such a ridiculous, but relevant problem

[@EffectiveTitan]

omg ty

[@HenockKanghono]

Dude I can literally watch one of your dev videos even if I didn't know anything you where saying, just for FUN!, super entertaining. PLEASE CONTINUE MAKING VIDEOS!!!

[@elmexican82]

This is without question one of the best tutorials for Blender I've ever seen !! Straight to the point, easy to understand and so entertaining :D

[@DJGAMER-ee7jn]

on god

[@axllead052]

This tutorial is great! It's transparent and relatable. Really shows that even experienced users also go through something beginners are scratching their heads to understand.

[@ProfitEmpire]

id like to speak to your boss

[@aty4282]

​@@ProfitEmpire *I want to see your bawls*

[@cheezygluestick6558]

This is the BEST video I could find on how to rig stuff, and 3 different ways is 10m is crazy

[@bUildYT]

I knew most of these things already but it took me months figuring out all of that on my own, this video is gold!

[@bUildYT]

1 year later, still gold :D

[@Zuamzaka]

@@bUildYT is it still gold?

[@Noelchew00]

That clean up mesh and merge by distance helped so much getting my rig to work. I must have been at it for a good 3 HRS till i found your video thanks so much!

[@christorres8809]

You just saved my sanity and my remaining 2 working neurons from utterly destroying themselves. Can't thank you enough!

[@lvplvp]

I though people were exaggerating when they said you were "entertaining" but they weren't! This tutorial was insightful AND surprisingly fun to watch!

[@dat.guy_nitin5]

Probably the best tutorial presented in the most efficient and fun way possible. extremely thankful and absolutely Loved it. keep the good work.

[@deyama2012]

Oh my god. I've been using Blender and Mixamo since forever, but I've never known they had an addon for generating control rig. Thank you so much!

[@TheOGDifs]

No joke this tutorial was the most helpful and a genuinely great video overall. It was entertaining and easy to follow, thanks man!

[@Kalyptic]

I spent 2 hours rigging just to do stupid stuff like this 10:29 , am I alone?😅

[@bigboiboigboy2713]

Me but its 3 at night.

[@remirem2769]

10:29

[@Ttiolle]

6am but today’s my first day😭

[@Lilfishowo]

No I did the same thing. If imma suffer for 2 hours I want the little charcter to dance

[@mr.spiderman-kaka]

Nope

[@laserpet2250]

no way this is the best tutorial I've watched and its this quick, clean, and also so funny 😭😭😭😭

[@ethanpearl9011]

I just spent 3 hours rigging a model and then I found this video. You are a godsend

[@theebolaqueen]

I LOVE how you explain why you make each of these choices. That is so freaking helpful.

[@zjin_99]

for anyone struggling with the mesh and bones when hitting control + P, make sure you are in object mode. i was in edit mode hitting control + P thinking i had the wrong selection or different version hahha. great tutorial. thanks!

[@gameplayontamil2879]

This video is just great .. clear cut. Thanks .😊

[@lilmookieesquire]

Short, to the point, entertaining, and provides context and walkthrough. You just saved me literal hours of my life. Thank you!

[@n4styr4bbit]

I had to watch this video so many times because I kept laughing at the edits, like the breaking sound effect when the elbow bent all weird. This is an amazing tutorial and great to learn from, great job! (:

[@elliotthuff5634]

Very good tutorial. Love it when people take the time to explain the little things.

[@ChiePet_]

i came here to learn how to use rigify for movement and how to create animations, and my god how overwhelming lmao. i learned so much in like 30 seconds. this is going to take a while.

[@stoopidbastid6420]

I picked up Blender at 2.9 and while I had used many 3d projects, I had never done any organic animations. The rigging thing really threw me and I must say thank you for taking the headache out of it.

[@3dandme777]

Awesome tutorial, you took the fear out of rigging, thank you for sharing skills that are at the top of creating. It is appreciated.

[@ardaaydin4771]

I really like that toturial. He is telling fast and neat also he added some memes to keep us interested. This guy is something.

[@Yllead]

this is the best tutorial about rigging a character I ever watched ✨

[@papierbndc]

I love the way you edit videos. 20 secs in and I love it!

[@patty4449]

Yea.... Idk what I thought I was doing when I decided to learn everything to make a game... I mean Programming... Sure... Hardware design and internal flow... No problem... Handling an Engine like Unity or Unreal... Easy... Learning the workflow of a developer like Thor or similar... Absolutely... Blender... Well f*ck me in every hole... Animations... Okay this startin to hurt honestly... Rigging... VFX... Texturing... Sculpting... Depth... Shaders... Lighting... Okay okay this is really complicated... LoDs... Nature... Servers... Optimisations... Artifacts... Yea I hate it now but damn its worth it when you get the hang of it... I mean I only need to make a demo which I can use to pull in sponsors and potentially a good studio... Or Ima just use my paychecks to finance assets for a full early access sometime... Either way thanks for the insight :) Im really starting to understand why the departments either all hate each other or love each other in the development industry... Like a clean modell really does make a huge difference, especially for held items etc...

[@martinandani]

We on the same road😂

[@archiee6935]

just had to remind my self how to blender for a class and this was very helpful almost brought a tear to my eye

[@Prime_Eclipse]

Easily one of the best Blender vids I’ve ever seen

[@AtsuiEntertainment]

I know I’m not in collage like majority of the comments, but animating is fun. Thanks for the help.

[@Crypto__College]

bro....tf most insane tutorial i have ever seen

[@Blender-Breakdown]

Finally, a good rigging tutorial that doesn't bore me to death in the first 5 minutes!

[@mirm0n]

Bro that sound killed me 9:55 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@freshmilkman]

Just tried out rigging and this tutorial definitely helped to make it possible for me even though i havent touch blender for the better part of a year lol

[@SiraneMohamed]

This is literally the best tutorial i've seen

[@rodnizzle]

gave all the info i needed in 10 mins, appreciate it! only issue was the knees twistin, I had an extra set of bones above my upper legs and setting my chain to 3 on my shins fixed all my issues.

[@austindrexler2092]

Thanks for the quick and dirty. I'm transitioning from Maya and I'm surprised how Blender doesn't really concern itself with joint orientation, rotation order, or spline IKs for the torso.

[@oxffffffather]

THanks a lot! It's best short tutorial with 100% explanation how to do the rig.

[@Ski_Discipline]

DANG MAN THIS SO USE FUL I"M TRY SO MANY TRICK AND UR TRICK IS WORKING AND MY FURINA FINALLY HAVE ANIMATION YAYYYY

[@UKT_Xetarr]

wanted to rig a model for a game, and out of 40(something) video, that the first one that really explained and had fun to watch

[@Infinityy_GT]

1:19 How do I sub divide on laptop because I have no left or right click

[@Certifiedbeginner]

Step one: Buy a mouse No, in all seriousness you can click with two fingers on the trackpad

[@missanimator8017]

This was one of the best tutorials ever! Thank u!

[@NyagasageAsha-g2s]

This guy is a professional 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢🎉😂😂😂😂❤❤😂😮😮😅😊😊😊😊😅😮😅😊😊😊😅😮😮😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@itscreamyking1036]

Thanks man helped a lot!

[@Hamdan1x.]

Stupid guy

[@jinx_gambitz]

the general lee drifting scene is rad

[@Spookyma2]

This is the best guide ive ever seen

[@HowdyJ]

This guy has made one more instant perma-fan.

[@blendapelayo4697]

You helped me alot. im doing an animation for my mothers day. dumb idea but it was the only thing i was good at. THANK YOU

[@VyLoneReaz]

Tried to gather all the information shown in the video last year, but wasn't able to do so, great video! Simple and informative.

[@Cosmic-books]

Mesh, merge by distance!!!! Sweet!

[@florian367]

Clear, precise... Great content ! Thank you

[@aymanfatani]

all of your tutorials are freaking sick and pretty easy to follow .. Thanks a bunch

[@Art_Druid]

I clicked on this tutorial bc I hope it explained how to use the animation feature, but even so, it's a very useful tutorial

[@UnderTheSkin13]

"Wouldn't it be nice to just put the hand where you want?" *Me, screaming in the background about how forward kinematics are better for natural posing:*

[@RaisinHook]

i would personally add an origin bone at the base but this is the best video I have seen

[@kiwi5064]

No. Don’t use IK for arms. It’s only for straight position motion. In other cases ALWAYS use regular FK. It gives nice swinging motion with arcs which is good.

[@nathannab2089]

I miss the Saturday morning tutorials. i loved to make my own version of the tutorials.

[@imushazu]

Best tutorial I've watched

[@jasonwilliams_oozyink]

Wow that mixamo is easy mode. Thanks so much for this tutorial.

[@Wickd_cc]

why does my Godzilla go flying across the map when i apply the weights

[@TheDestinedOne789]

😂😂😂

[@swatijha7371]

Right click then go to set origin then origin to geometry

[@sylvestermulanshokachanda]

Simply entertaining! This is how learning ought to be!

[@metatronorder3565]

brilliant tutorial...thanks Uploader.... also had tons of humour so overall, very engaging...

[@walterjohnson8192]

What is the best way to switch from one animation to the next? For instance, in your rendered clip, the character runs, jumps, lands, and then rolls. Is this done with keyframes? A tutorial on this would be awesome!

[@AIguy-jy6iq]

best in youtube . you are amazing . now i m a fan of you .

[@rahuldeshpande9997]

That was so awesme dude. Super helpful, thank yoU!

[@MrDot12]

mad props to this guy for actually showing the problems that occur

[@maxwellkowal3065]

I've been looking for a video like this. I have been searching for a video that just details how to rig a character in blender. Now I need to find one for facial rigging.

[@prooootector]

the best tutorial for rigging! so much in one video tysm

[@orca-dxe]

4:00 still cant. still bone with no whatever its notification, do you have any advices?

[@Unknown-jm9ix]

My brain isn't braining. It hurts 😭

[@_Thevoidcalls]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This makes life so much easier! Your amazing!

[@ceriethewitchchick]

you are a hero, thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@samstudiosofficial]

Great content+ humor😂👏Loved it.

[@takaw.d8486]

My good lad, youve taught me something amazing!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[@Its_LazyBean]

wow.. that was the funnyest teaching video ive ever seen.. if only school was like your video

[@vaivs7903]

The model at the end of the video: "Everybody say iiiiinverse" - "IIIIINVERSE" "Everybody say kinomaaatic" - "KINOMAAAATIC"

[@skilattutos6696]

Hey ! Really good tutorial but why searching the bone at 4:40 ? We can just select the rig, then the mesh and go to weight painting. Then we can select the bone with shift + click

[@3Dmesho]

nice tutorial, i love this part 8:45 😂😂

[@JackalsPlague]

Bro thank you so much because thanks to this tutorial I was able to rig my mind flayer

[@fluidexpressions6856]

8:23 thankyou!

[@godfredsam7940]

I can’t stop laughing 😂while learning this 😂 you’re amazing 😂😂❤️

[@Gametime05577]

[@alvinpalvin8425]

Really good and fun lesson

[@owowhatsthis555]

Awesome tutorial! thank you for so much good info!

[@mae2309]

Very good video.. clean and to the point . Thumbs up. Will give this a go . Thank you

[@ActuallyYoda69]

This tutorial was mostly pretty useful, but for some reason once I rigged the legs, the arms move with them, when they did not before I added IK constraints, and I cannot figure out the problem. Is there anything you might suggest that could help?

[@watcharules369]

Excellent tutorial my man

[@NickCascion]

Thank you man, really saved me with that video!!

[@MedicVR1]

To find this press the green little guy at the right side of screen and press “Viewport Display “and you’ll see it 1:10

[@kurtissebring349]

This was educational and entertaining

[@kurtissebring349]

its the memes and internalized thought for me

[@rei-zero-3d]

I have a problem. So even after I did the weight paints and stuff it still wasn't working. Turns out I was in edit mode instead of pose mode

[@rei-zero-3d]

Looks like I am my biggest enemy
