Rigging FPS Arms - FPS Game With Unity & Blender

[@Sam-oq7rb]

Thank you very much - enough slowly paced tutorial without being overly lengthy while still being plenty educational..! SIDENOTE: FOR ANYONE WHO HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE "Symmetrize" function, you must have named the bones to be mirrored, with the .L or .R suffixes.

[@SingleSapling]

[@Chloelol]

_L and _R also work :)

[@motheuser]

I named with .L at the end of each bone and still not working.

[@SingleSapling]

Does it just symetrize some of them?

[@bekek7135]

I've found the solution: If naming isn't the problem, select your armature in object mode and navigate to Object > Apply > All Transforms. Fixed symmetrize for me, hope it helps!

you may not be looking to these comments anymore but i wanna say, im gonna be using your tutorial for the game im working on, and this is perfect for what i have been needing to do. currently trying to work with a subterranean style of a map, always up for learning how to do that more effectively. also all my thanks for these tutorials

[@truedat9200]

This is truly a wonderful tutorial. thank you very much! and for those who have or will come across the problem with the automated weights heres my fix since nothing happened when i pressed ctrl+p and tried to move the ik bone in pose mode : before you press ctrl+p to automate weights ,select the arms mesh go into edit mode and select ALL vertices with a (having the vertices mode checked in the upper left corner). then press m and merge by distance.. it removed two vertices in my example that sneaked themselves in. so merge all vertices by distance and then do the step with ctrl+p automate weights . have a nice day

[@nathanmitchell7961]

Its crazy how much progress ive made compared to other videos on this site

[@whateverlikeda]

If anyones having problems with parenting the mesh with the arperture, and esp if youre using a higher poly mesh -- it might be a topology problem and fixing it on 1st level of subdivision is much easier, so just check any problematic areas you might have with the higher level mesh and spread out/tidy those areas before subdivision. Easy and it worked for me

[@nassimnavas]

I'm experiencing this and I can't fix it :/

[@nassimnavas]

Manged to copy and paste all of the bones work to another file with mid poly, it worked. However, the bones are not attached to the bicep, so everything else moves besides the biceps

[@SingleSapling]

They are not influenced by each other?

[@nassimnavas]

@@SingleSapling Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. I managed to fix it by recreating bones in the mid polly arm. However, too bad it did not work with the high polly arm, it have more details and looks better.

[@nassimnavas]

​@@SingleSapling Something weirder happened tho with the mid poly, when i selected everything to center it with the origin of the axes the mesh got all messed up and ruined the shape and everything, very weird. May have to just use a low poly but i really wanted to use a higher poly 😢

For anyone having troubles Symmetrizing your bones to the other side. Make sure you go back into object mode, select all your bones then apply all transforms (position, rotation, scale) then go back into edit mode and try it again.

[@logancole8789]

If Symmetrize isn't working, and none of these other fixes have worked, try applying all of your transformations and then symmetrize. It's also possible that it was caused by my orientation being different (using different axes than in the vid). This fixed my issues.

thanks man it worked for me :D

[@logancole8789]

@@rocketman-f3 glad to help out!

[@soba_45]

its not working for me any other fixes for this?

[@SingleSapling]

Maybe check that the origin point of the armature is in the center ( that the left side of the rig is indeed to the left of the origin point) dont know if that will help at all but its worth a try

[@logancole8789]

@Asdafadas Qwe fandas I'm not so experienced, and this is just a guess, but try looking at the names of objects. It has helped me before, to label them like "Arm. L" for the left and "Arm. R" for the right. Just a small thing that can be easily overlooked, like applied transforms, global vs local space, axis orientation, etc sometimes it slips my mind. Other comments probably have more useful info Don't be worried about starting from the beginning again if you can't find the issue, this has saved me more time than not.

[@WilliamAdelstein]

For some reason I had some kind of issue with the global positioning when using the symmetrise option. The armature would duplicate but not go on the opposite side. If you have this issue then try the following. Select the armature in object mode, under Object, Apply, click Rotation and then try fiddling with those.

[@WilliamAdelstein]

Another thing to watch out for is that both arms normals both the same, otherwise you might experience differences between the arms. Spent hours looking for the problem, turned out it was the normals were flipped (one red one blue).

12:50 ... VERY IMPORTANT, Make sure that your root bone is with the other bones in the hierarchy, not in a separate collection.

[@bekek7135]

I'm just wondering if anyone had this problem - The 'IK.Arm Target' bone does not rotate the hand as expected. If e.g. I want my wrist to rotate around like it were a helicopter motor, it just doesn't. This makes animating borderline impossible because of the limited movement. The 'Palm' bone, however, seems to be able to rotate fine in the problematic axis, but doesn't move the hand in any other one. Anyone has some ideas? Any way of improving the tutorial skeleton in this regard?

[@bekek7135]

I've found the solution - The creator is using a 'Damped Track' modifier on Palm bone to copy the rotation of the Arm Target, but it limits the movements in certain axes, it seems like a huge oversight and I have no idea why he has not mentioned it. Instead, I've used the 'Copy Rotation' modifier on the Palm bone, and everything seems to be working as expected. Hope it help anyone with the same issue.

[@SingleSapling]

I see you fixed your own problem, I havent had much luck with the copy rotation constraint, thats why I am using the damped track one. Nice to hear its working well for someone ;]

When I switch to weight painting all it shows green on the right hand and the rest of the vertex groups are just blue. Has anyone experienced this?

I anyone else is having this issue, it's because the normals are out of whack. Go into edit mode while having the mesh selected, select all by pressing A and then shift + n to recalculate normals. After that, my auto weights worked like a charm.
