Excellent tutorials. Did this one. Advice to anyone watching, is to follow as close to details as possible. The two extra leg horse with two tails, was pretty hard. This one, now lost count how many times had to delete all and restart. Watch the names. My Blender 3.1 crashed due to pc upgrade, so like dummy I upgrade to 3.3 and it is tiny changes in the right side menu that really will drive you nuts. Just go slow and you will find the menu items in slightly different places. especially the basic.chain all those are in there . Thanks cgdive for another one. Indebted to you and all RU-vid creators for the tutorials.

@CGDive Год назад

Thanks! Indeed these tutorials need a remake since the Rigify interface changed enough to make them hard to follow.

@fheisk 4 года назад

giving things meaningful names is important in software development, this is a great example of how confusing it is when things are named without too much thought

@CGDive 4 года назад

Oh man, don't get me started about the Rig Type names. The problem is partly because Rigify had different maintainers over the years and each named stuff as they liked. A clean up is overdue!

@scarlettstone1302 3 года назад

@@CGDive It might have been because the library is still in development. So for example, they might be trying to add a super_tentacle, thus the simple_tentacle. With that, I have no idea about the copy_chain and super_copy

@CGDive 3 года назад

@@scarlettstone1302 Could be but I think whoever initiated this is no longer involved. So hopefully the new maintainer will clean it up soon.

@alexrusu2905 3 года назад

@@CGDive I'm positive something is up, I'm trying some of them and they're different from what you show in this file. For example in 2.93 there's no difference between limbs.paw and limbs.rear_paw. One should have had toe bones and now it's gone.

@elviokill 4 года назад

The "super" suffix does't mean better or improved. C++ use "super" for override function. Blender core is written in C++.

@CGDive 4 года назад

That is interesting, thanks for the info. Still tho, that's great if you're a smart coder... But Rigify is ultimately supposed to be used by the average dude and dudette. So it should use names that make sense to the average user.

@elviokill 4 года назад

@@CGDive I agree with you on that. I think the person who made Rigify used this name convention to make coding easier to remember. By the way I already liked and subscribed. Great work!!

@CGDive 4 года назад

@@elviokill Thanks for the support, Elvio! I actually spoke with some of the people who created Rigify. There were several maintainers over the years and each added their own namings and stuff. That's partly the reason why the names are a bit of a mess :)

@DodaGarcia Год назад

I think C++ doesn't have the "super" keyword, but Python does, and add-ons are written in Python. The rest of your explanation is on point though, and I wish they'd just called it "base" instead of "super" so that people who don't know about the keyword could more easily get it from context.

@elviokill Год назад

I was shy about promoting the paid part of the course at first but the community response has BLOWN ME AWAY. Thank you! So in short: I am working on advanced chapters for this course. They are around 60% complete as of now but I am offering them as an early-bird deal. The final price will be around $45, but you can still pre-order them now at a discount (30% off) on Gumroad. gumroad.com/l/rigify If you like this series I think you'll love the advanced stuff too. It will contain one module dedicated to the Building Blocks. You'll learn all the advanced options that Rigify offers. And in another module, we'll rig several complex characters together.

@RomboutVersluijs 4 года назад

The rear_paw is different, its has more bone segments. It therefor it moves different. Youll also notice that the "role" bone is located at a different position.

@CGDive 4 года назад

I'm very interested in this if you are right but I just did a few tests and I get exactly the same results. My opinion based on my experience and experiments is this: rear_paw is a Sample, not a Rig Type. But for some reason all samples are also listed in the Rig Types. If you still think I am wrong, I am all ears!

@RomboutVersluijs 4 года назад

@@CGDive Well im check Rigify in 2.79b When i add the 2 i get different legs. The back paw has an extra bone and the role bone is more in the middle. They are both same type as it seems, just different pre-defined then. So then yes basically the same.

@CGDive 4 года назад

@@RomboutVersluijs I am kinda curious. I did tests and I can't have a paw or a rear_paw with anything but 4 bones. More or less bones always causes an error.

@CGDive 4 года назад

@W1zardRyan Год назад

Programmer here: the term "super" is oftentimes a keyword that can be used to refer to a parent class (where a class can be thought of as a blueprint for an object that can be instantiated), where the keyword super is most commonly used to call a parent class's constructor, method, or property. The analogy here could be the meta rig, and the generated rig as a child and parent class, and it could also be used to refer to composition of multiple components together. My guess is that the developers forgot that's not how most users think of the word "super", and those labels stuck past development. Just my take though, awesome series btw!

@CGDive Год назад

Thanks! Yeah, you are most likely right. And yeah, the problem is that 95%+ of the Rigify end users are not programmers :)

As a software developer, I completely understand reasoning behind this naming convention.

@CGDive 2 года назад

I guess it's a matter of taste. I've talked to other developers who also dislike the current names of the Rigify types.

@halfblue2678 2 года назад

@@CGDive yep, that's kinda a rookie mistake. And probably due to rushing to implement stuff, the devs didn't really thought of a better way of naming stuff. Having a naming convention on the fly is also kind of a skill when you have to plan those on your own.

When I am in Edit Mode, select the initial single bone, and delete it, I am immediately put into Object Mode. I can no longer go to Edit Mode to select the Rigify elements from the Rigify Buttons menu because I can't enter Edit Mode again unless I create another bone. How do you delete the single bone in Edit Mode without being automatically set to Object Mode?

@CGDive 2 года назад

I've never heard of such of problem. I'd go as far as to say you're probably misinterpreting something... I can't be sure of course. Can you record a video of yourself doing what you do? You can post it on your discord discord.gg/YFH5HUv Or email it to me.

@heiro5 2 года назад

@@CGDive I'm having the exact same issue. I'm in Blender 3.3. If there is no bone present then the armature and bone property tabs disappear. Furthermore, the (now unified) Rigify tab in the armature properties tab doesn't seem to have an "add sample" button. At least I can't find it. ...yet. I will sort this out, though. Excellent series. In particular looking forward to this chapter, but first I need to get the car out of the garage lol.

@heiro5 2 года назад

@@CGDive Okay, I got it. You've already said it at this point of the video, but some options are hidden in specific modes. In Blender 3.3 the Samples tab IS in the armature props tab, BUT ONLY IN EDIT MODE. That said, there first has to be a bone present so I can Ali Baba my way to the tab at all. When I delete the armature and bone, those property tabs disappear like Brigadoon... My best solution at the moment is to make a single bone, add a sample, and then delete the original bone. On to class!! EDIT: Yes... not just did you mention specific modes, but this particular requirement. I'm slow but I get there.

I cannot figure out how to get clothes to work correctly for animating. I even joined them to the figure, then used quad remesh add on, and connected it to the rig, but the clothes act as if they are separate pieces even though they are not. I even boolean joined them. Same issue.
