Thanks.. for the video. I was looking for the solution like maya where I don´t have to fix it manually and this thing really helps. I still have concern regarding the different between the rotation of the rest of the bones and bones of the arms/legs. As rotation of arm-leg axis has to be rolled according to pole vector to avoid flipping, would you recommned to make all other bones have same roll or rotation axis. Again... thank you :)

@LevelPixelLevel 5 лет назад

Yeah, try to keep all of you bone layers with the same roll, this will save tons of time when you are adding constraints between the control and the deform bones.

@@LevelPixelLevel yeah i did, in fact i am watching it second time now, i am actually trying to rig my own mech, but i ran into an issue i got stuck on since yesterday and have no idea how to solve it. if you care giving me a hint into right direction i could drop you a giff that shows that i am after. everything is peachy, except for that one part that i have no bloody clue how to rig. Actually, see if you can access this facebook.com/ponteryuurui/videos/2464450486986863/ What i want to achieve there, is for that top of the foot guard to move when the front toe goes up, but at the same time, i need the guard to move with the foot core as well. someone suggested keys, which could be an idea. I started to learn rigging 2 days ago, so this is still a pretty tricky head scratcher for me.

@LevelPixelLevel 4 года назад

For something like this I would add a control onto the guard, and then have a driver that takes two variables, one from the main foot rotation, and one from the toe. I'll see if I can add something like this to my drivers master class series! Epic foot rig and model by the way!

@infinitehush 5 лет назад

OH MAN. Changing the Roll to fix the 90 degree Pole Target issue is insane. I've watched a LOT of tutorials and I don't think I've ever seen this online. I've just been slapping band-aids on broken bones, apparently! I hope you're writing a massive tome and cultivating a purchasable 30+ hour tutorial package alongside these youtube clips. I have to ask: why/how would putting a driver on the pole angle itself help in conjunction with being able to move the pole target? Is it like an optional override?

@LevelPixelLevel 5 лет назад

Thanks! Glad you liked it. I've been slowly building a course, these tutorials are all sort of an introduction so that later I can get to some really interesting techniques. Yes, the driver on the pole angle can be used as an override. If an entire animation is complete, but the animator just wants to tweak the elbow a bit, they may want to use a secondary dial rather than mess with the curves on their graph.

@markokovacevic3225 2 года назад

Can't Shift+Select in pose mode like you show at 7:56 . Would you know what I might be doing wrong? Never mind, didn't do all the bone extrusions in Edit Mode.

@whizkid2000 4 года назад

Amazing tutorial! Thank you! A few questions that were unclear: Why does it want the X axis specifically to point to the pole vector? What do you mean by "nice roll" through the bones when you chose to roll the IK bone?

@LevelPixelLevel 4 года назад

For nice roll I mean a roll that does not change from pose mode to edit mode (when the rig is in the default location). And, I am not sure when the X looks at the pole target. This seems like something that the user should have control over, like in the lock track constraint and the track to constraint.

@yvescortellini9026 Год назад

I have a question. I want to fix the axis on the top. So when i grap the hand and move it outside X it rotates with it. You mention it, but sadly you just Lock the movment of the hand. How can i lock movment of parts inside of a Bonegroup, what interacts in the Relation while i grap the hand? This would make the animation much mor easy

@DonChups 4 года назад

Oh wow, I'm transitioning from Cinema 4D and this is a great helper. I still need to work on a few exercises more but I feel it's still quite a pain of micromanaging compared to C4D, specially the object/pose distinction and the fact you can't use nulls as restraints for individual bones (or at least I did not find the way yet)

@LevelPixelLevel 4 года назад

Thank you! Yeah, Blender takes a while to get used to. I cam from Maya where a null object had for more importance. Everything in Blender is contained with in the single rig object. At first I found this limiting, but now I prefer it. You can constraint bones to nulls in Blender if you want, but in the long run it is far better to keep things contained within the armature object.

@chosenideahandle 4 года назад

I like you don't have to use bones to setup an IK chain for a mechanical rig in C4D (and other software). It's kinda goofy having to use bones in Blender when you're not deforming a mesh (not to mention unnecessarily messy).

@LevelPixelLevel 4 года назад

@@chosenideahandle Agreed, even in Maya the systems are a little cleaner. Although I like having everything in Blender as one object for organization - this also causes a lot of issues with dependencies.

@LevelPixelLevel 4 года назад

Thanks! Yes this is possible, but you need a second bone chain of connected bones with copy transforms to the main IK chain. Because they are connected bones as you pull the hand control away from the arm the hand pieces will stay connected.

Hey i just switched from maya to blender, can we make conroller for the join? Because in maya we animate character through the controller not the actual bones, and need to freeze transform the controller. So we can reset to the default position when needed. I hope someone had any ideas for this

@LevelPixelLevel 5 лет назад

In Blender, you use the joints (bones) to make the deform bones and the controllers. The joints themselves have a custom pivot that is set in edit mode. Then in pose mode, these can be set back to zero using alt-g (location) alt-s (scale) and alt-r (rotation). Try building some simple rigs using the joints as the controller shapes. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SfSIz12WjSI.html Also, be sure to check out the rigify rigs, these will be extremely helpful to see how the architecture of rigs can be created in Blender. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dYiAd_08-0k.html While this tutorial is for Blender 2.78, the main structures have not changed that much.

I usually use a low lighting sample with fog. And I only use the principle shaders, I rarely use textures. I might smooth a cylinder shape, but other than that I keep everything flat (with no subdivisions). The only thing I might add is a bevel modifier just to get a bit of an edge.

@taroxsplaylists7960 5 лет назад

You are the best! I came across your channel yesterday and I have to say, that you should really have more than 1,4k views! Just can I have a question? How would you approach rigging a coat or a cloak for games? For example the coat's sleeves and chest area are using character's bones, but what to do with the "back hanging cloth"? Would you suggest to use 2 armatures for one mesh? One for chest and sleeves and one for the back or to have bones in character rig prepared for the cloak even if the character is not using it? I hope it's understandable how I wrote it :)

@LevelPixelLevel 5 лет назад

Thank you! Glad you liked the video :) For a coat on a character in a game, you can do a couple of things. 1) Try to keep everything as one rig, and add extra bones for the end of the coat, parent these bones to the spine or the hip bone. Weight paint these extra bones to the coat bottom and give them a couple of fk controls. 2) You can use two armatures if you need to, just ensure the second armature is parented to the first. Although I would avoid this if possible as it may cause complications in a game engine. 3) Simulate the cloth and bake out the action (this might even be achievable in Unity or Unreal) If you are looking for an interesting way to animate the end of the coat be sure to check out the Jiggle Armature Add: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Irv5P7PEc1k.html I'm not 100% sure if this works with 2.8 yet but is a great addon for simple simulations that you can bake down to the armature to use in a game engine. Once I have a bit more time I'll try to create a tutorial reviewing the first option. Best of luck with your rig!

I am actually trying to rig a robotic arm for a engineering project, but the arm was made in a engineering program (CAD file). When I try importing it to blender It doesn’t recognize the assembly, it only appears to recognize it as a single object. I tried to make a rig several times, but it doesn’t want to move. My question is, is there a way to make it recognize all the parts? If not, would that mean that I have to make another assembly in blender?

this tutorial was very nice and easy. but i have a confusion, why we parented the ik control bone to base bone instead of just parenting it to the ik bone2 ?

@dmigul 2 года назад

Try to make 3 connected bones, put an ik constraint to middle one and set the third as a control. You'll see that by NOT unparenting this third bone you won't be able to control rig at all - it would create circular dependency. Why parent it to the base bone and not leave it free though? It's easier to use base rotation to determine arm's position, if you don't do that you'll have to adjust control bone position constantly.

Yes, this is an introduction tutorial, and I tend to use hotkeys a lot so I call them out. In future videos, where I cover more advanced topics, I'll be focusing on the theory, or the technique and less on the actions involved to get to that step.

Thank you so much for these tuts! Helped me out alot. Yet of course I have to do things differently. I am rigging the ATAT from Star Wars. Basically the same as this arm except the shoulder needs to bob up and down, hence the 2nd pole(do i need?). You can see I have my roll correct to point at the knee_pole_vector by rolling it 90 deg since in front. but it then goes off to the side. I reset the roll back to 0deg then locked the x axis and its fine except its now in opposite direction from pole. I can move the pole to other side of the leg and it works but Im thinking this would be wrong. This is my main issue let alone how the heck do I rig the shoulder so it can move up and down as well. adding 1+ on chain length pops the whole thing 90deg. so I dunno.

Oh ya forgot to say I know it needs that slight bend to know which way to bend but the geo is straight and that bend would make the axis bend off kilter right?

@@theartoframos Okay I see what you mean for the should here, I would actually have the leg work like a piston - meaning have the hip go right up to the top, then add an extra bone at the top of the leg to act as a piston: www.levelpixellevel.com/uploads/1/1/7/8/117873610/atat_orig.jpg For the slight bend, I would actually make the default shape a little bent - now this means like .5 degree rotation in the direction of your choice. Maybe one day I'll do a series on how to rig an ATAT, this looks like a really fun model to rig!

@@LevelPixelLevel WOW! Thank you so much for responding. I was going out of my mind because so much stuff out there but nothing was helping. Gonna try you other tutorial; it has a piston right. Thanks again so excited!

@@LevelPixelLevel Ok, so I think I got it.. sort of. Moved the geometry AND the respective bones .5deg towards the pole vector then rerigged, just to have the slight bend at the knee. Used "Blender" RU-vid fundamental series to make the IK control on top the foot control. Right at the end they did what you said not to; change the pole angle. Instead I changed the roll 90deg so that X points towards the Pole. But I have this funky arbitrary angle happening. Its not any angle I can define to compensate with roll. All I did here is move the "Foot_IK_Ctrl" up on the Z. So I have no Idea whats going on. BUT Good news I got the shoulder going. After I made the leg IK chain I then had a separate shoulder bone I simply parented to the thigh bone a voila. I have to control it separately but that is doable and I expected that. But I still CANT animate this with a funky knee pole vector. What should I do? Here's a link to the image: drive.google.com/file/d/1Msop2Fqo4WWNlMvOyizj2V3BI3WZfMVh/view?usp=sharing

@@LevelPixelLevel OK this time I SUPER figured it out. So I guess initially to counter the rotation so as to NOT have a rotation leg straight at the knee I guess I got confused and DID straighten it or something. I reapplied the rig over and over and ever increasing angles approaching 180deg(straight). I found that it works all the way up to 179.9 degrees. So getting math nerdy; if the foot is directly below the hip or shoulder in this case you can then pop out the leg .05 deg and then it turns back another .05 deg to make a 179.9 deg separation between the leg parts. BUT it weirdly only moves after moving the IK control a bit. So to be on the safe side it actually needs to be 179.8degress or .1deg on shoulder and -.1 at knee. So basically like you said it can be damn close to straight just not exactly.

Check out this file, it has a very simple IK structure in it. gumroad.com/l/zKcld This might be a good place to start. Also, even though this is video is 2.78 it is a great place to start as well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0U3NjTvwdWI.html

Some folks will get lost in the vector language :D so it requires some math/physics lessons on their part to truly understand. Vectors are no joke! HAHA oh and let's not get into that Geometry class discussion. Oh did they do their homework LOL, I'm sure many kids in school just sleep on those important math courses. Not realizing that it will truly come in handy later on in life after maybe locating 3D software tools like Blender online.
