Tutorial: Rig A Cat | Blender Beginners

[@TreeWhacker10]

Good thing i got this when looking up cat in blender

[@christopheremerson2848]

I have to tell you Man, I thought I was killin' it with the rather simple game I am designing but when I got to rigging my cute, cartoony models the world got very, very dark. I was crying every time I looked in the mirror, eating tubs of ice-cream... Kicking puppies. Then I found this video. Thank you very much. This was by far the most informative and applicable rigging tutorial I have seen out of at least a dozen. Good work my friend. I really appreciate it. BTW, you may have just saved another harmless shelter puppy from a severe "rage-beating".

[@PureSkayy]

I finally found the kind of cat blender I wanted to see thank you 😢

[@BACONASSOSCIATION]

RIP to the cat.

[@TigrrrUnleashed]

This is awesome! I need to model a rig a simple cartoony lion cub, and Rigify was the first thing that came to my mind. And then I saw this. Perfect!

[@dustedpinstripes]

This was so helpful! Thank you a bunch, very informative and loved how you went step-by-step and explained why they were necessary. Easy to follow as well!

[@d.artphan]

After 48h stress, i found you... Many thanks, bro 🤠

[@brandonjacksoon]

He is so cute :) thank you mr. PIXXO 3D for helpful tutorial!

[@lmmffn]

this is THE MOST helpful video that i ever seen for learning simple rigging with rigify THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[@Muhammad-Jacobs699]

That's some creepy timing. I just finished modelling an Alien cat, and was just about to look up rigging it, only to see this popping up in my recomendations.

[@x2v9]

creepypasta

[@saadabbassre]

No creepier than when I had a muscle cramp from a bad sleeping position and told my mom over the phone, to see muscle relief recommendations pop up. Not to mention they helped.

[@memyself1498]

i am having a hard time with 12:53 generate rig it gives me an error message about spine004 cannot connect chain bone position is disjoint, incorrect armature for type 'chain_rigs' , how do i fix?

[@jigglygrandmama]

same here

[@memyself1498]

over time i found some bones must stay together, some bone dots that are overlapping another bone dot cannot be separated, i have found that using wire frame and box selected the bone dots i wanted to move keeping any overlapping dots together has worked for me, i hope this helps you and anyone reading.

[@ProjectSebastiann]

Having the same issue :( I made sure the bones were overlapping where they originally were and its still giving this error

[@heimoosubliminal]

thankyou for this tutorial, it was a bit confusing on the bone layers part but i managed to get it right. I using blender 4.something as well Thank you very much

[@acatisfinetoo3018]

Nice simple explaination...This is exactly what i look for in blender and modeling tutorials.

[@prahaladlohandan1835]

Thanks for this awesome tutorial!

[@the_stray_cat]

one thing i do that makes linging the rig with the face is the snap tool. set it to faces and then any bone will just stick to the face.

[@Poiter0]

Thanks for the tutorial! It was really helpfull and usefull for my own models!

[@jasperzatch610]

Thank you for making this, love the full walk through

[@lightst33l]

Layers not showing after 'generate rig'... Im confusing with the process. There is no 'skeleton'. I see 'pose' there...Where is layers???

[@nekoserializor5066]

so awesome!

[@Ad_der]

I am having a problem where when I press the button to turn it into a rig, it says something like: "Lid.B.L.002 not found" I found that bone but nothing was wrong with it at first glance and after I tried moving it! Can anyone help me?

[@Bolumzx]

i have a question, can i export all that rigs from unreal engine, or i have to riggin de model there? sorry for my inglish! and thx ♥

[@ronioclarenzo6137]

Great video! Thanks a lot!

[@letoons3232]

Cool 😎 I'm enjoying blender gradually

[@Porkupine69]

I've found rigging the characters fairly easy, especially with rigify My main problem is actually animating the character it never looks natural

[@RacoonAndres]

adpot a cat and observe

[@nimeshupadhyay4133]

Keep Practicing it will get better.

[@dusktheowlgryphon]

I have a specific request. How do I adjust/add rigs? Like I want the ears to rotate in a realistic way, but that requires a disc shaped armature for them. How do I add that?

[@consumidormaldito]

Your chanel it is owesome

[@georgewinchester6403]

I removed some bones before pressing generate rig, because i don't need that many. It gave me an error. Is it possible to use rigify if you modify the rig by deleting bones you don't need?

[@sebastienletuan5647]

Newbie to Blender here. I always wondered how this was done, thanks for this tutorial! Quick question (sorry if this is basic): If I wanted to export the cat in a particular pose - let’s say up on his hind legs for example - as a 3D .obj or .stl file for 3D printing, how would I go about doing that, once I get to the pose I want? Same question regarding an animation. So for example I have imported an animated FBX file, and I go to a particular frame in the animation that I want to export as a 3D file. Right now when I try to export, it doesn’t actually export the model in the frame where I was at.

[@pro_rookie_gamedev]

I'm assuming you already know how to export so, after you set the pose you want, duplicate the entire thing select the mesh go up to the mesh tab in object mode and convert the visual instance to mesh. This will bake the geometry in the shape that it's in to be it's default pose. You can then export it from Blender. This seems good for 3d printing. And for animations, go to the desired frame and convert visual instance to mesh. I hope this helps.

[@pro_rookie_gamedev]

Btw, I the reason I said to duplicate it is because I think this process is a little destructive and it may not be easy to get your original pose back without undoing.

[@smartidiott]

how do I reset the cats position? Its in the state as 18:42 but i did too many changes to it and cant ctrl-z it no more.

[@smartidiott]

I tried the alt R + alt G + alt S However the alt + R does nothing so I think that I accidentaly set new rest rotation pose and now I dont know how to undo it.

[@smartidiott]

@Eyeless_Eagle i actually found out you can save a position that the model is in and then come back to it, dont remember the exact how to though

[@jkartz92]

can we increase more bones for the tail?

[@RavindraShekhawat-q5m]

can i add hair on it after rigging or before?

[@paodequeijos]

[@Chomroend]

I was so close to finishing my cat rig, but then I realized my settings were different than yours. that threw my off and I can't figure out how to fix it. can you help me on that?

[@arlo3492]

Thanks ! Very helpful

[@t1sk1jukka]

Those whiskers weren’t connected to the head so how that would be done

[@mothbutemo]

the good ending..

[@Seven7601]

And finally, the cat blender video I was looking for!

[@MR-vs9rd]

In other rigify tutorials people just parent the mesh to the armature (with automatic weights) rather than the control bones. Is there any difference/disadvantage in doing so? Nice tutorial!

[@Konstantin_Liberty]

Great... nice tutorial... what about moustache... they are loose

really helpfull video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@devis-of8rw]

I cant find the active layers does anyone know why?

[@shash8085]

Hi, thanks for the amazing tutorial. I was curious is there anyway to automate the bliking of cat's eye instead of keyframe animating all those points everytime we have to make her blink?

[@naytbreeze]

How to make this work in unreal if it doesnt have the root bone?

[@fotisrats08]

I dawnloaded a cat and it has pink mostage what do i do?

[@NyanCat-dn5jb]

what do i do when my cat has one big eye?

[@NyanCat-dn5jb]

@Eyeless_Eagle I mean like a cyclopes cat, not a cat with an injured eye.

[@xlaxxers5019]

@@NyanCat-dn5jb hey, it’s eyeless eagle my account got deleted today so I’m writing from this. If you mean a cyclops cat you can delete the bone from the right or left, then rename the one you haven’t deleted “eye” and reset its position to the middle. Hope it helps!

[@cgworm6111]

that fur on thumbnail looks really good , can u make tutorial ?

[@rapidentertainment11]

this is the cat blender video ive been looking for

[@hazdrubal5962]

Awesome tutorial. But you didn't explain what happens when we have to adjust mesh that has been rigged already?

[@iust1n428]

where is that cat deja made?

[@someone5050]

i love cats😭😭

could you do such a lesson for a dog? maybe there are some dog nuances there?) very good tut

[@Youshisu]

omg do you rig eyes? mad man use shape keys :D

[@rubendariosalamancaalvarez1082]

You know how to attach whiskers to bones?

[@CanadianBatman1]

I’m having the same issue. Tried joining, parenting. Thought maybe they needed to be converted to mesh… nothing worked so far. I’m going to make my actual cat with a model that I sculpt. This was a good way to learn the process for rigging though. Never hurts to do a tutorial every once and awhile to learn

whats up with the "aged badly" comments?? i dont understand

[@cloydxx]

some vile person in china put a cat inside a blender that's what the comments are reffering to as aged badly

cat in blender. like, a BLENDER blender

[@ze5os427]

I've been looking up how to make a cat model and every result I got was unrelevant. then, I get this as a video recommendation when watching a "how to make an animal model" tutorial. why, youtube? edit: oh wait this is how to rig a cat model. thanks a lot, youtube

[@ventaidepc]

C est bien j ai vu que vous l avez posté recemment, avez vous pu faire une rotation des pattes avant vers le haut, car j ai essayer j ai vu d autres tuto, aucun visiblement montre cela, hors pour de l animation muinimum d un chat qui veux attrapper une pelote de laine, c est essentiel. Donc, vous verrez, que c est pas possible, j ai essayé differents placements d os, c est limité. J ai vu sur c4d, une vrai anim , ou on peux rotationner les pates vers le haut, je pense helas pour l anim de chat , etre obligé de retourner sur c4d. Si vous avez le temps faite un test, je veux dire patte du chat a 70 degres environ devant le visage. imaginez pour attrapper une pelote de laine. Car si rigify se limite juste a bouger les pates pour marcher et faire baisser le chat, c est dépassé par c4d. J espere comprendre pourquoi, ca ne marche pas. blender 2.93. Merci de votre avis
