Character Rigging for Beginners (Blender Tutorial)

my mesh wont connect top the bones

i did every thing you said and the upper leg bone whold not stay there the leg was not conected to eney thing the foot was connecting to the phalm so i did not do legs

Hi this tutorial is really good but when I symmetrize the armature it's along the wrong axis, could someone please help me? thanks in advance.

Thanks for the tutorial, however the copy rotation part didn't work at all for me. Everything is set up like you said, but it just doesn't work. dunno why.

What file type does the character need to be in to rig? Any Blender file??

you're professor to watch this video thanks 😍

Fun video. Do you know, though, if there's a way to connect a full skeleton with animations to a character model?

can you advertise less

wow, this guy is too good with the explainations

ay how come when i move my leg Ik.L bone it goes crazy???

When I connect the bones to the bottom one and make it the parent, all of the bones get rotated and when I move the "main" bone they just flip and rotate wildly. Why?

dude you are genuinely the best blender tutorial guy, other people are always so hard to follow. This really helped me with my model, thanks!

dude

parent with automatic wheits doesnt work what do i do?

plz hepl

im tierd i tried everything

How do you connect two bones that got separated

Hii i know this video is old but i really need help, when i get to the part of parenting the leg and the body the bones in the pose mode deform and move and i cant change it, thanks for the video btw

Great tutorial ! Thanks Ryan !

у чела такой вайб приятный и объясняет хорошо. спасибо большое

謝謝！

how can we duplicate the rigged character afterward ?

Thanks Ryan! You're tutorials are so clear and easy to follow!

My characters thumb disconnected when I symetrisyzed it

Edit- Turns out the right thumb (Which is labeled with R) is connected with the left IK

Between your last video and this one I've used the two tutes to make a (somewhat looking) goblin and have him be able to move (and now I know the basics to rig his piggy companion) and again your tutes are the best because you don't skip over steps that you assume others should know. I've gotten to the point if i'm looking for a tutorial on something I come straight to your channel and look for it first. They've been a headache saver.

Side question, when you said to undo moving the arm and stuff you said about hitting alt g to undo grab and alt r to undo rotate, would hitting ctrl z/undo accomplish the same thing, or is this a better way than that?

I love your pace and how you repeat things rather than going slow. Helps me learn. Subbed

hi, i have two issues and i was wondering if you could help. i followed everything along, and almost everything works. the only issue is that the leg armatures glitch and jank around when moving them. also, when trying to symmeterize, nothing happens. i have also noticed my model is facing the x axis and yours is facing the y, if this could be a reason for the issue, thanks.

I have not finished watching yet, but I really like how you explain things, these kinds of videos are great :) Thanks a bunch!

why my Ctrl + alt + s not working ? i try many time but bone not changed

jesus actually what the hell is this. 50 minute ad for ur patreon?

i wanted to use the meta rig for the human and i cant see it and i dont know why

Would this work if my character isn't doing a t pose

❤❤❤ nice

Given the octagonal presentation of the armature, and some nomenclature (head, tail), I thought the two ends of bones were somehow different. Now I'm wondering if they are, in fact, the same.

"The existing Armature modifier is already using a different armature object" is what the metarig (rigify) object that I just inserted (just inserted) is telling me. . .I just inserted it because the last rig I inserted was parented and the parenting would absolutely not clear (????). Do you know how I might force blender to work . . .Have been searching websites for a while.

thank you so much for all of the tutorials you make. i have this process for learning blender where i watch quick 5-10 minute tutorials on a subject to get an idea of what its like, and then i watch one of your videos on the subject to refine the knowledge i learned and actually memorize the information. i wouldnt be anywhere near where i am right now without your help.

You are so good ! Thank you !

yeah I tried the rigging but it ended up looking like shit.

I love the way Ryan explains stuff in his tutorials. he does not fail to explain a single detail. Definitely a mandatory like and subscribe for anyone who stumbles on any of his videos..i actually prefer him to blender guru... he's gotten too greedy and gone full commercial, so everything he does feels like a sales pitch now, i like old blender guru. But Ryan here, he does it out of actual goodness , you can tell, that is why if i have an extra penny i try to support him rather than other more "main stream" blender guys. I just hope he doesnt end up like a total sales pitch for "his new book" or "his new class" or the tools he uses and all that stuff. Ryan, if you keep it Vanilla brother, the newbies like myself will always have someone to go to to start,try not to change that style man. it is perfect.

very usefull tutorial, best if seen so far

I need to watch your videos more.

For me it isn’t working, i probably did something wrong but i’ve listened to you all the time, the bones goes helicopter when i try to move it..

When I did the automatic weights, it caused my mesh to become thinner. The model I'm working with is supposed to be wearing a robe, but the automatic weights compressed the robe into just being two legs. Is there any way to fix this or prevent it from happening?

with automatic weights isn't appearing

Hello Ryan, I had another question. I was using this guide to rig a model that has 5 fingers, and so as I expected it animates her fingers a bit strangely. I know in the guide you said I can add the other fingers at the point of making the main finger bones, but how do I do so in a way that works? I keep trying different ways and it won't work.

#1 rigging tutorial for sure

when i look i get really confused this makes 0 sense

Another really helpful video, thanks! Great pacing!

dude not i'm gona be dreaming of bones for a long time now lol but you got really good detail thank you :)

Great tutorial. I think it's great that you keep repeating the procedure at certain points.
