Rigging for Beginners: Rig the Feet in Maya

[@UtterUnit]

I REALLY wanted to take shortcuts and sought out short rigging videos that got me nowhere. Luckily, I came across this video series! Absolutely everything I need.

[@Dave-pn9rw]

You're single-handedly going to get me a degree, bless

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

That's wonderful to hear! So happy to hear it's helping :)

[@eighteyedfluffball]

Thanks! You are my fairy godmother in rigging! I've just start panicking two or three days ago and began to search for the tutorials on a feet rigging on other resourses, but all that I found were too complicated for me. So, this tutorial came in the right time.

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

I'm so happy to hear that this helped you! Thank you Joan, :)

[@AWDAnimations]

This character rigging series is the best tutorial, I will definitely be using this for many years to come when I need to refer back to something!

[@Daigoxiii]

It was difficult and confusing at first. Going back at it with the second leg and following the video again starts to make much more sense. Thank you for this tutorial!

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

It is VERY confusing the first time. But once you see how all of these IK handles and groups work together, it starts to make sense. :) Thank you for watching!

[@Darryl1768]

Thank you for the tutorial. I had a hard time looking for rigging tutorials. This was the best one. Thank you.

[@MilicaStaletovic]

Thank you so much for these tutorials, I absolutely hated Maya and rigging and now I enjoy it!

[@NaterAnimater]

Your videos are the absolute best for learning this kind of stuff! Thank you so much!

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Thank you so much Nater! Glad you like them!

[@anunium]

Thank you so much for this video! I rigged a character and after starting a dance animation I realized I was lacking a foot roll control that I desperately needed. This video was easy to follow and helped me immensely!

[@Cadellinman]

This is a really clever way of handling the problem, thanks so much for sharing.

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

You're very welcome! Thank you for watching Connor 😄

[@indigolevel]

That´s great and lovely, you are a happy person, I love the way you explain everything, thanks!

[@omerkoc8100]

thanks a lot . How can I go further with rigging? I want to be someone who can do more with hardware. We also made the right leg. Is there an easy way to make the left leg?

[@rez40k]

That's just beautifull. Complex rigs look like a snowball of director's bad dreams compared to this pure simplicity)

[@Rajuuken]

Thank you again ! The group thing is new and challenging but you made me glimpse the possibilities!

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Pretty wild what you can do with grouping and moving pivots! :)

[@PawasTastic]

Thank you so much, your tutorial has been a life saver!

[@ronilnatividadaquino5231]

just new to this channel. this videos really are helpful. thankyou for this contents.

[@viruxmenx]

Thank you so much, your videos helped me a lot those quarantene days for my class homeworks

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

I'm so glad!!

[@danielwilson8604]

hello, when i rigged my initial chain rolls, the entire foot slid around, instead of just the section. is there any likely cause or fix i could use?

[@thffkfltm]

Great tutorial, Thanks.

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MelanieEberle-w9p]

Thank you for this great tutorial :) I followed every step but now I ended up having problems when I try to rotate the whole character. The Feet always twist in a funny way, when I rotate the world control around the y axis. Should rotation for the whole character work whith this modelling technique? Did I miss a step maybe?

[@Agent-kb8rt]

Please make a video on advance rigging

[@digitalcrystalmediahouse2295]

Hi Monica..it's great sea ur totorial..is there any 4legged character rigging in maya

[@FeedingWolves]

Just amazing! I am loving rigging thanks to you!

[@lomor2n]

Hi Monica, thank for ur turtorial, it's look simple, but very useful and easy to understand than my teacher ( Don't tell him ;). ^_^

[@brocupsla4854]

Is there a way to "copy and paste" the foot and toe roll attributes to the other foot controller?

[@pappushing4634]

it is really difficult but your teaching technique is awesome.

[@weentermakesgames759]

You're a lifesaver

[@SuperBananapower123]

Im having trouble with the foot roll in attribute editor, the roll does not have a smooth transition. It only goes from the -10 to 0 to 10 positions, no movment in between.

[@duendetattoo75]

Great explanation!! thanks a lot of

[@tejasmahadar1796]

Thanks a lot u provide me such a grtknowledge about rigging. I'm very thank full because i get some freelance to do animate my robo model and your teaching is full fill

[@devam7780]

Which bind skin option did you select? Heatmap? Geodesic?

[@Totorus]

Thanks for the great tutorial!!!

[@Jaybee_r]

Hi Monica, thanks for your tutorials, they are very good, also the way you explain them. Do you think it will be a good idea to create Control Objects for the feet ik-handles instead of set driven keys? I am thinking ahead to export the model with the rigging to a game engine like Unity. So I am concern if the driven keys it will show up at the game engine. Thanks!

[@chevaleria]

great video!! thank you very much!

[@ankitaggarwal384]

I shared your channel in my friend's 👍

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Thanks Ankit! That means a lot! :)

[@daabomb114]

Will you get a tutorial on how to do the blendnode or snap the ik/fk to the last position?

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

That's beyond the scope of this video series. I hope you find your answer!

[@Agent-kb8rt]

[@roshanpatel4216]

Sir I have being trying to prepare rig model for which I'm practising to make arc from cylinder by establishing bone inside,first I've placed joint inside cylinder then I organise orientation of joint then then by selecting all the joint and cylinder I applied bind skin.but joints are not rotated as arc bending. Can u tell me how I can make rig cylinder??

[@kimberlymartinez2392]

Hey ! I've never rigged before and your videos are extremely helpful. I'm currently working on a project for school that's due this weekend and I have a question about animations and MCap suits, should I still make the key tools for the the feet if I plan to animate using the MCap suit? I've never used an MCap suit either

[@Felix-os5hf]
