[#1] Creating an armature for your character in blender 2.9 

1:44 Get robot mesh 2:06 reset cursor to world origin 2:13 add single bone 4:41 arm bones 6:24 elbow bend for IK edits 6:47 adjust pelvis 7:16 parent arm to spine with offsets 8:00 thigh bones 9:56 Parent thigh to hips 10:29 name bones 12:46 Use Symmetrize instead 13:21 testing 15:18 reset bone roll 16:15 review hierarchy

I was literally going to search for a rigging tutorial and saw this video in recommendations *_*. And those IK tips really helped alot with i problem I was having with my own model.

Great tutorial!! THANK!!!!

great works waiting for next video.........

Thanks for making this :-)

this is a cool video :)

just in time!

You're really underatted

thanks so much man! Really needed this refresher!

Hi. Even if I do bone dressing etc as in this video, when I save my character to blender and print it out as fbx and then open this fbx in blender again, the bones are not connected to my character, so I destroyed the settings. The problem is of course with the export settings. I would appreciate it if you could specify a video source explaining the export.

awesome! your videos are great :) keep up the good work

how do i add a new bone to a mesh that is already parented to an existing armature? the new bone is in the same armature, but was not included when i initially parented the mesh to the armature. i appended this armature from a different file and i've scaled it down to the current file, so if i just re-parent the mesh to the armature with the new bone, all the changes i made gets cancelled and it's just a pain to redo all the re-scaling and edits in the current file.

I'm proud to be your 1,000th like.

TYSM! now i can animate my vr hands

Naice.

TYSM!! U really helped a lot

so only problem I am having is connecting the bones to a parent. the wire doesn't show up connecting the shoulder to the spine. is there a addon you downloaded or is it just in the default for you?

I really need your help, when I duplicate the skeleton on the right side of my mesh, it doesn’t flip to the left side of the mesh it’s just a right skeleton on the left side of the mesh PLEASE tell me how to flip it PLEASE !!!!!

stupid questions... when naming bones, do i have to name them the same names you do. do i have to upper case and lower case like you? i noticed also you didnt ad a space between "UpperLeg" does it have to be exactly like that? does that effect anything later? just curious..

Hey ! Can you write here how you duplicate the model, after pressing shift D (for it to be perfectly send to the other size) I'm confuse on the hotkeys, thank you so much!

What software is used to subtitle every mouse movement on the screen?

Where can i get this model? Gr8 video

also.. when you copy everything to the otherside i have no clue what your doing after the shift d. you say scale X negative 1. what is that and how do i do that??? im on a laptop if that makes a diffrence. i dont know allthose shortcuts. i know all the basic ones but when you start flipping and spinning stuff im lost. ok so i watched that part like 20 times. i think i was forgetting to finish the process by hitting x. i figured it out tho.

If you cant find the Armature in the Shift+A menu, make sure you are in OBJECT MODE

12:46 This is not the best way to mirror your armature bones. Blender has a 'Symmetrize' option! Just name your bones correctly (Using ".L" or "_L"). I.e. "UpperLeg.L", "LowerLeg.L", etc. Select bones that you want to mirror and Right click in the viewport and select 'Symmetrize'! Thats it! No need to rename any bones for the right side, Blender will name them automatically.

I heard that unity also has these skeleton and rigging features now, so is that recommended for beginners or should we do this in blender first? (For a beginner that is...)

Did you join all the meshes by ctrl + j for the character (I think you call it as skinned mesh)

thank you for makeing this vid i now no how to rig

Very nice video, I am your big fan and subscribed to you. Can you please post the model Which you have used in the video

my bones dont exist i can add a armature but theres no arrow to add a bone and nothing pops up when i add an armature

I'm trying to do the parenting procedure at 7:06. (v2.920) I do not see what you see. I managed to do it somehow. Not sure how. Struggling to repeat this for the leg.

how come i cant do the keep offset part with the two bones also i am creating a game and this helps a lot man

when i open "add/ shift + a" (i use 2.9 still) it only shows basic shapes and not anything else like you have

12:46 i did not understand how did you do that. can someone explain?

Kindly upload hand ik for model.

Why you don't just extrude the main bones of shoulders and thighs from the spine?

what happens if i dont have a neck

I can't excrude another bone e doesn't work

I can't see any armeture in layoute window , only in modeling

alt+z did not change anything

i rename one of the bones then all the bones have the same name

Shift+A doesn’t work

You mention "IK" alot, but for the target group of this video, Inverse Kinematic is a totally unknown term.

Dude ,pls tellme how tobduplicate it , om confuse about the explanation
