⚠ Posing while weight painting is different and easier in Blender 4.0! Select your armature, shift select the object, and go into weight paint mode. Then use Alt + left click to select a bone, pose it, and change it's weight.

[@peterma362]

You should pin this comment. I only thought to check by newest until after a fair bit of googling and it being like the 5th result. On the bright side, I did learn that it is also apparently Ctrl + Shift + left click. What Ctrl + left click seems to actually do in 4.0 now is invert the weight of the brush, like it does in sculpting. Thanks for the videos.

FINALLY I TRIED TO RIG MY CHARCTER FOR A LONG TIME AND THIS IS THE 15TH ATTEMPT AND IT WENT SUCCESSFUL! I am REALLY greatful to you Mr.Joey

[@aegisgfx]

Well you did something that almost no one else does which is take one broad topic like rigging and hit all the high points in 10 minutes. The problem that I've always had with a complex problem like rigging is that most of the tuts videos will take one tiny aspect of rigging and they'll spend 4 hours investigating it which is just a waste of my time. I need a broad overview, I need to hit the high points and the most commonly used features and do it fast, and that's what you did. This just became the best blender tutorial channel on the entire KZbin's.

This has got to be one of the best video I've seen for weight painting. it's to the point and gives a TON of info. No daunting 50 minute video filled with 80% bullshit. Thanks for the awesome content. Joey Carlino Well earned sub from me for all the awesome work.

[@slamotte]

the way you teach not only saves time but makes me more patient with the actual process bc I don't have to sit through long drawn out videos. invaluable you are. if you make any courses ill look into them.

I started working on a lowpoly set of models for a game and boi this is inpiring to keep going and an amazing tutorial with multiple details from multiples videos I wanted to keep together. Amazing work and amazing characters.

Thank you, this has to be the best rigging video on KZbin. It's clearly explained, to the point and not overly complicated, but still manages to explain the different methods.

One of the best videos I've seen. It still feels extremely overwhelming. Especially when you need to click several different places to manage what you want to do.

[@ImputOutput]

I'm not much of a inpatient person and all I feel like this video did was just clear up and specify so many things that anyone could have trouble with. This does not go unappreciated. Thanks a lot!

[@SketchyJohnny]

Extremely well made and efficient tutorial. I appreciate it greatly. No wasting time, nicely divided into different specialized use cases. I got my rig working in only a few minutes thanks to this!

[@StevenDiLeo]

Absolutely fantastic tips. I love the scale down to .1 then back up, brilliant way to get weights closer, faster. For the IK portion, for anyone using physics in game engines, I do not reccomend unparenting any bones (foot in this case) or else the model will fall apart at that joint. I'm working a game Christmas Cats, and my rat NPC's legs we're unparented, and kept flying away from the rat body XD

Thank you so much for this video. I was actually gonna give up on character animating for my animation cause it was extremely difficult and no video seemed to address any of the issues I was having. I was just gonna stick to environment modeling but I got recommended this video and thought I would give it all one more shot and it was perfect. Every issue I was having that never gets adressed in any other tutorial got explained here and I feel like I understand the process alot more. Thank you so much.

[@TeletubProd]

quick tip that i don't hear enough on youtube, your bones can be toggled in front of your model while in pose mode by using the x-ray toggle (alt+X). I don't like bones being in front by default as it doesn't give you a good preview of your scene, so i prefer using this method

[@tituskizer6478]

This is a terrific tutorial, I learned some good stuff. Thank you!

[@CenereRoses]

I learned how to rig in PMXEditor a loooong time ago to make MMD models, and have been wanting to make the transition to Blender for a long time. A lot of my frustration comes down to lengthy over-explanation and failing to include hot keys and shortcuts in other tutorials. But this is super helpful info in a way that my overactive ADHD brain can actually process, and I thank you for that gift. I had made some progress with learning how Blender does mesh and texture, but I hadn’t even gotten far enough through that to try making rigs in Blender yet. This is a very helpful video, and I love that it shows so much stuff while not dragging on. Great stuff. (If you’re like me and need stuff in videos repeated a lot or slowed down/sped up, make sure you use that speed function. Cause I would not learn half of what I learned without it.)

[@stillzen-dev]

holy shit this is f*n amazing man THANK YOU. literally instantly liked and subbed.

[@khet2018]

Fucking incredible. You actually explained what auto-normalize does. Do you know how much people like me need an actual explanation as to WHY you need to do or not do things? 10 out of fucking 10 video.
