In this video, we will see how to apply a simple Grease Pencil rig to our model. We will be using an armature, lattices, and basic constraints.
This video is one of four, detailing the character’s creation, from sketch to model, to rig and finally covering my animation workflow.
I have added English subtitles. If you would be willing to translate these into a different language, I would be happy to publish these to help others follow along. If you are able to help, contact me via the email in the 'about' tab: ru-vid.com...

First, this is so convoluted, please tell me this has been made easier since the video was made. Second, this is probably the hardest youtube tutorial i've ever managed to follow, since many things were not explained step by step, or happened too fast, or happened in the background without being mentioned. Had to slow the video down a number of times to get through it. Still there are some clear instructions in there and with a calm voice. Anyway I have learned a lot so far

If it helps anyone, you can do basic motion capture by using ctrl+shift+c to connect the DEF bones onto empties generated by tracks (once you've tracked something, go Reconstruction, link empties to track) (you might have to turn off lock object preferences) Also, this is the first tutorial I've come across that actually shows how add constraints to individual bones. Thanks again!

If anyone can't get thru this tutorial, you can get to a half-way point where you can access the "Shape Keys" which are pretty simple to use, and put your mouth pose library into a set of "Shape Keys", since Blender Grease Pencil, doesn't let you use Shape Keys unless you apply armatures and lattices, as to which the "Shape Key" format becomes accessible. Rhubarb Lip Sync is still Greek to me at this point, but I can still do a series of mouth poses for my characters, and have them talk by following this tutorial.

@bigalitstudios 3 года назад

Just a suggestion. I get a little lost when you're doing multiple pieces/objects of the character without completing the steps necessary to completely rig each one. I know this is probably how you prefer to actually work and it's probably more efficient that way, but for someone starting out and learning new concepts, it might be more helpful (to me at least) if you complete the rigging of just one object before jumping around to the other objects. For example, rig the main face shape first with the lattice, bone(s), vertex groups, modifiers, etc. and everything you need to completely finish that rig before moving on to other shapes. Thanks for your tutorials!

Hello! for all those who got stuck at minute 07:45 because despite doing everything step by step the bone doesn't move the eyebrow or the mesh, it's because you have to go to "pose mode" (at the same place where you switch to edit mode/object mode)... now you can surely visualize how the bone affects the other elements (of course, if you did all the previous steps correctly XD)... let's continue!

@thebuniverse6739 3 года назад

i have a feeling rigging a 2D character is way more time consuming that just a standard frame by frame animation

@SketchySquirrel 3 года назад

You're right, it does come down to how often you are going to use your character. If you are regularly animating the same character, you may find that spending more time creating a versatile and flexible rig can speed up your animation process. Whether you animate using a rigged puppet or frame by frame can be more of a stylistic choice that is balanced against time and other resources. You make a good point, thanks for your comment.

@bigalitstudios 3 года назад

If you're making a general purpose rig that can do "all things for all scenes", then yes, it can be very time consuming. I'm just learning Blender, but I have used an animation program called Moho in the past, and to save time, I would create multiple versions of a rigged character. If I only needed a close up of a face, why bother creating a fully rigged body? If I only need chest up, why bother with the lower body? This all comes down to proper planning and story boarding, so you only create what you actually need for your scenes.

I have a question. You have vertex select on for your strokes and then you could edited it. I’ve been experimenting around and can’t seem to find out how to do vertex select on the line you draw. How would I go about getting those instead of a single stroke you can’t even select in edit mode? Sorry if it’s hard to understand.

@SketchySquirrel 3 года назад

No problem, I believe you have stroke select mode selected. This is similar to edge select for 3d meshes. You can change this at the top left of the 3d viewport while in edit mode. Hope this helps

Hello! Very interesting tutorial! It's not very clear: why do you first parent the eye-deformer-bones to the Mechanical-bones? since eventually the CTRL bones are the ones that lead the eyes movement with the Copy Location? thanks for the answer :)

@SketchySquirrel 3 года назад

Good point! It doesn't matter which set of bones you parent the deformer bones to, I like to keep the control bones separate, but either method should work just as well.

@animsyl 4 года назад

Such a great job! Rigging is clearly a profession on itself ;) and you seem very at ease with Blender! Thanks for this workflow suggestion. i was wondering though if it is aswell possible to combine the sculpting mode as an animation tool in combination with bone animation (like for the brows and some facial expressions) i must admit i'm not so at ease with so many (deformer & controller& ...-) bones - although i can see the advantage of the rig stability ... do you have experience with that or do you know of anybody who has? Thanks so much.

@SketchySquirrel 4 года назад

I'm actually pretty new to rigging, but these channels, Pierrick Picaut : ru-vid.com/show-UCXxtsisIDLiiL6YZFrORkUg and Dikko : ru-vid.com/show-UCdEz1N-xB-mYNpeU5ZKbGLw have been very helpful for me.

@dragonmanover9000 2 года назад

For some reason, when I'm rigging my characters, after I parent the bones, the main bone I try moving (like moving the forearm for example), the bones connected to the hand move along with it but not the actual lattice (I made sure to parent each shape correctly). I can show you some pictures if you need me to. I'm not sure if RU-vid allows links from imgur, so it might be hard to demonstrate.

@SketchySquirrel 3 года назад

Hi Dan, (love your guitar tutorials), in regards to the problem you're having with the constraints. Make sure that the deformation bones line up with the mch bones. This includes the y position, so rotate around your scene, and see if the mch bones are in front or behind the def bones, and move them accordingly, (you could select both sets of bones, press S for scale, press Y to limit it on the y axis, then press 0, to bring them together). Hope this helps, otherwise you can send me the blender file, and I can take a look for you. :) You can find my e-mail address on the about page of my channel ru-vid.comabout

@CristianoIes 2 года назад

Congratulations on the classes. One question: how do you do 2d secondary animation (second motion) on the grease pencil?

@SketchySquirrel 2 года назад

Hi Cristiano, I'm not sure if I fully understand, however if your referring to overlapping motion, then I usually go about animating that by rigging a chain of bones, then animating them in synch, then selecting each bone and offsetting the keyframes by increasing amounts as I work my way down the chain. I hope that this has helped. On the other hand, if you are referring to secondary motion, (actions that support the main action) then I don't know how to answer your question, as its such a board topic.

@itemaya4pointer514 3 года назад

wow this is a fantastic tutorial. May I know if you are able to edit the shape of individual mouth shapes during animation?

@SketchySquirrel 3 года назад

Hello, The way I made the mouth for this rig, was to treat it as though it were a frame by frame animation (and apply a time offset modifier for lipsyncing). If I understand you correctly, you can't edit the shape throughout the animation, as each shape is a pose on the timeline. If you want a more dynamic mouth, you can duplicate the frame you want to edit, and treat it like a separate mouth shape. I cover the "frame by frame" method for the mouth in part three of this series. Otherwise, you could rig the mouth, and set up poses, that can be edited at any time during the animation. Hope this helps. Thanks for the encouragement.

Hey there, thanks for your encouragement! Regarding your rig, I can't be certain what is causing your difficulty. If you'd like, you could email me your blend file (email address is here ru-vid.comabout ). I would suggest it could be a parenting issue, check that the eyebrow control bones are parented to the head base bone and that the bases of the eyebrow deformation chains are also parented to the head base bone and that the rest of the deformation chain is parented to its correct neighbour. I will certainly have a look at your rig if you think this would help. Joel

HI Falshination, sorry for the late response. That sounds great, I would recommend keeping the rig for a single character as one armature.

Hey quick question, is it possible to modify the drawing after the whole rigging part?

@SketchySquirrel 2 года назад

Hi there. Thank you for asking. Yes it's fairly easy. How it works is each vertex is assigned to certain bones or lattices, at certain weights. So if go back in after wards and move them around, that will work just fine. If you add something new to the drawing just make sure you assign the new vertices to the appropriate bones or lattices. I hope that this is helpful. Thanks again.

Hi there. I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble. I do have one idea of what might be the issue. In Blender, each Grease Pencil object can only have one lattice modifier attached. In the video each part is a separate object, the head, eyes nose, eyebrows etc. If you have the head and the nose of the same object, even if they're on different layers, then you will only be able to attach one lattice. To fix this you can select the nose or the head in edit mode, press P, and select separate by selection. This will take the nose and move it into it's own object. (This might cause some issues because the two objects are at the same depth, so Blender can't figure out what to render infront, so you can just move the nose slightly forward) I hope that this helps. If not, feel free ask again, or email me your project file, (my email is under the about page of my channel) and I would be happy to take a look. All the best :D

@tnk361 4 месяца назад

So, how do you do this with Blender 4.0? The skeleton part of the armature selection has been replaced with bone collections

@SketchySquirrel 4 месяца назад

That's a good question. In essence it's a pretty similar process. In the video, I show how to move various bones from one layer to another. The only difference with the new collection system, is that you have to create your own layers, one at a time, and you can name each layer. So in the past I would keep the deformation bones on the first layer, then the mechanism bones on the second, and control bones on the third, with some other layers here and there for various uses, with collections I would name the first collection 'deformation', and the second 'mech' then 'control' etc. You can still press M to move bones from one collection to another. I hope this is helpful, let me know if you have any more questions :)

hi, I like your stuff it's very informative, I wonder if you can help me?. I have converted a video image from a grease pencil and saved it after conversion. i would like to add color and manipulate the image, now the problem is can not open the converted image in draw mode, how can change the image?to draw mode? Do I have to trace over the converted images? let me know what you come up with.thanks.

Hey can you tell me what is that rig in bottom left in 0:35? What does it do? And like how did you that? Loving your tutorials btw!!

@SketchySquirrel 3 года назад

Hi Strange Lord, I'm glad that you like them. Thanks for asking, I didn't include that control in the tutorial, because it was getting too long and it didn't use any techniques that we hadn't already covered. Essential it reduces the detail on each of the Grease Pencil objects. This is helpful for when the character is a long way from the camera, and it might look strange to have the full detail. I made it with a modifier on each of the GP objects, and a driver and a control bone. I hope that this answered your question. :)

How did you extend the Root bone 5:17 also how did you go to a different layer at 5:30?

@SketchySquirrel 3 года назад

Hi Mortal, When you make the armature, it comes with a default bone, but because it's facing upwards, we just have tom move it to the side. We could rotate it, if you do you need to make sure that it rotates around the base. The way that I did it was to select the end of the bone, ( the little bauble at the top of the bone ) then I just press G to move it, then I just move it down to the side. to make it snap to the grid you just need to hold down the CTRL button while moving it. I hope that this helps, and thanks for the comment. :)

@hiX0N 3 года назад

The shortcut to extending/creating a new bone is Shift + E while dragging. In order to make the new bone go straight, hold CTRL. Also heres a great video about bone layers: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MVl7FQw-x6M.html

Thanks for the tutorial man:) If I can get it working it would be a big help. I'm having trouble with the part at 7:45 where the bones are supposed to control the lattice. The lattice is controlling the object but the bones aren't controlling the lattice. Do you know what the issue might be? I checked many times to see if the vertex group name matched the bone name and it does. Let me know what you think please. Thanks:)

@SketchySquirrel 3 года назад

Sorry for the late reply. If you've checked that the vertex groups are named correctly, then you might have forgotten to assign the vertices of the lattice to their groups, or you might have forgotten to add an armature modifier to the lattice object. Thanks for the comment

Hi, sorry for the late reply, I'm not quite sure if I know the issue that you're referring to. My only suggestion is to check the child parent relationships between the bones. If the bone that is stretching is parented to the bone that's stretching to, or the other way around, that can cause some problems.

@SketchySquirrel 3 года назад

This is intentional. I wanted to rig the pink shade etc separately to the head to have more control, so I set it up so that the lattice only affects the base of the head. I did this by specifying which layer should be affected by the lattice modifier. Hope this helps :)

Hi, so far so good but I didn't understand what you did to create the second bone... you typed ROOT and then put it in, but I don't know how it's done, maybe you used some keyboard shortcut I don't know.... I am very new to this and would like to be able to finish it as I understand it but this part has me stuck.

@SketchySquirrel Год назад

Hi there, after I created the armature object, it was important to enter "edit mode", by pressing TAB, so that any bones that I added would still be contained in the same object. Then I renamed the existing bone to root, by pressing F2. Then a pop-up appears, where I could type the new name. Then I could start adding new bones, either with "SHIFT+A" or extruding the existing one with "E" or duplicating it with "SHIFT+D". I hope this is helpful, let me know if you have any more questions, and I'll do my best to help :D

@@SketchySquirrel Great!!! thank you very much for the clarification and for taking the trouble to answer, it worked for me and I was able to move to the next steps, but now I got stuck again XD.... it happens that at minute 07:45 after configuring and linking the vertices of the mesh to the bones you get to move everything (the eyebrow, the mesh and the bone), in my case only the bone moves. ... the eyebrow and the mesh if I have them linked and deform together, but I have not managed to move the bone to link with other elements ... I have verified each step, even the name of each bone so that it is the same as the assigned vertex groups (I have Blender in Spanish and I put the names ex: DEF_CEJA D.1 ) I really do not know if it is a language issue or if DEF must be translated to my language... or if it does not matter the name I write, as long as it is the same in the bone and in the vertex group assigned to the mesh... even so I can not move forward from here, I do not know what can be happening.

If you're in object mode, press TAB, and you will enter edit mode, where you can move the vertices of the lattice. I hope this is helpful.
