[@billmore6486]

"ya done"

[@Rantandum]

I've been trying to find a solid tutorial for parenting objects for weeks, and this video achieved that goal in less then two minutes. These videos are a treasure.

[@carrapaz3645]

I just noticed that thumbnail, pure awesomeness 🤣

[@Maze47269]

These 60 second vids are a lifesaver

[@pajamapandapants6619]

I had characters snap-flying all over the viewport yesterday. Thank you! Clear, concise, awesome video

[@gunwise7079]

2 year old, one minute video helped me more than a hundred vids less than 6 months old. Cheers man you're a savior!

When parenting meshes to armatures there are basically two methods. Hopefully this comment will help demystify a couple of things. @0:18 describes the first method. To understand this a little better go to the object properties of the mesh you parented and open up the "relations" panel. Here you will see the "parent" is the armature, the "parent type" is bone and the "parent bone" is whatever bone you picked. The second way to parent meshes to an armature is by selecting the object you want to parent, select the armature and then select either "with empty groups" or "with automatic weights". This method will parent the mesh to the full armature. If you go into the "object data properties" tab and look under "vertex groups" you will see this version has created a vertex group for every bone inside the armature. If you now go into edit mode you can now assign individual vertices of a single mesh to different bones. You will gain more control if you use weight paint mode. This method is used primarily for rigging organic characters (as opposed to mechs or objects). An important thing to note is that if you parent to bones using this method the appearance of the relations panel is slightly different. Here you will see the "parent" is armature and the "parent type" is object. So method 1 gives you parent type "bone", method 2 gives you parent type "object" and automatically sets up vertex groups for all the bones in the armature. Method 1 is simple and clean. Method 2 is more flexible, but can get very messy.

Congratulations man, you now officially have a notification squad. Or you will when more people like me show up... I just wanna say that I love your videos. Your straight to the point, "not gonna waste 20 minutes of your time beating around the bush and telling you things you already know" approach to tutorial videos is an approach the whole world would benefit from following. Compared to my previous favorite video on rigging (in maya), you've laid out all the essential points and taught me a few new things that make the process feel a lot simpler. You taught me vast equivalents of operations from Maya to Blender, how to mirror bone weights, the .2 strength brush method of patching vertex weights, how to not feel perverted for putting bones in my character's boobs, and several smaller things that weren't covered in the other video. And now I can re-find information easily with your short video series, since I can pinpoint the >5 minute video that contains the information I need to proceed with my work. It's a style of video series that more people really should apply to their own workflow and channel presentations! I also love your artstyle. The chunky, simplistic, and mechanical look of your models reminds me of flash and unity games I grew up with, like Frantic and BeGone. The motion of your animation goes a step further, feeling reminiscent of Advent Rising, a game on the Xbox that I loved as a child. The way you animate your characters is beautiful, and I can definitely see myself applying a similar animation approach, even to more organic, fantasy styled characters. Sadly my present financial situation is a bit shaky, but as soon as I regain footing, I'm gonna buy your game and support you on Patreon, because I love your work and would love to see as much of it as possible, now and in the future. Keep doing what you do man, so many people will appreciate it as soon as they see it.

[@TheRoyalSkies]

I really can't express how much these kind of comments absolutely make my day. I was so close to closing the channel after the game, but this kind of support really helped give me a reason to keep going. So thank you so much for the extremely kind words. It really means a lot, and I'm so happy to hear that the tutorials have made a difference for you. I grew up in an Xbox/PS2 era, so my art style is heavily based on those kind of designs. The style is basically a mix between the most attractive models I can make, in the shortest amount of time, with the least amount of detail. But, that is exactly why the Xbox and PS2 style games look the way they do. They were also trying to balance those three goals so if it feels nostalgic for you I'm glad I've been able to replicate the effect. As far as supporting financially, I completely understand so please take all the time you need to get your things in order before supporting. I know exactly how hard it is to get by these days and I don't want supporting the channel to be a burden for anyone. It's for this reason I've limited my patreon to a $5 maximum. It shouldn't be any more trouble than an extra cup of coffee. But, I know that's still a stretch for many people. So in the meanwhile simply leaving a like, subscribing, or even sharing the videos with friends is more than enough to keep the channel going. So, thank you again for sharing. I means a lot. -Royal Skies-

[@RayBot3000]

You sir... are a treasure. I just spent 45 minutes going through other peoples videos with all manner of convoluted explanations for the answers your provided in less than a minute. Thank you! Subscribed!

[@nitolrozario5019]

Was banging my head against google till i found this

[@dreamisover9813]

This was so incredibly helpful, I'm just starting my Blender journey now and I keep coming back to this channel for certain topics.

[@davidchuckycarroll9008]

Just what I was looking for!!! Short and sweet!! Brilliant!!

[@89cenda]

Great work on these tuts/reference videos. Thank you for your dedication. PS: This is one of those videos which show how well was blender thought through. (ex. the shortcut consistency... ALT in blender generally removes/disables things (if I'm not mistaken) and along with that they kept it so consistent that even program this huge and open (++free) has default shortcuts analogous and easy to remember, yet not disturbing. Most other software (suites, many times "industry standards") still can't manage this (they could add option to roll back changes which they usually do)

[@curspyiond589]

Have sat through two many tutorials until this one. Every thing in 60 secs no frills . Thanks Royal Skies.

[@charlieainthere1074]

[@mr.person5441]

[@MrPitki]

OMG !!! Finally a short and easy to understand explanation how to parent mesh object to specific bones in an armature!!!! Cheers mate!! you are a legend....

[@TheJumpButton]

Could you make a follow up talking about the "child of" and "copy transform" constraints when parenting to different objects for animation?

[@DragonLegoMasterZ]

ok but how do i connect a skel to another skel? like a cat tail to a cat with they both have differet rigs and im trying to connect the main cat body tail bone to the main bone of tail

[@PaoloMunoz]

Good lord. This would have saved me a ton of time to have known... I was trying to parent an object to a bone, but didn't know I had to be in pose mode to do that! So instead, I did it by vertex groups... Was VERY tedious. Thanks a bunch!

[@TyLorenz]

aye thanks man!

[@junepyotv]

thank u so much. good parenting indeed

My mind has the hardest time remembering this process for no reason. My new rule is "child to parent", no matter the circumstance the first selection will be the child in this parenting process. Ty for this quick concise explanation.

Amazing!
