Learn how to easily rig a low poly character in Blender 2.9x. This is the second in a series of three videos. In the first video, we modeled this character and in the third video, we key frame animate an idle and a running animation.

Additional info:
I've been modeling in Blender since about 2015 but more recently in the past couple of years. I've been making games and assets in Unity since 2011 and I'm currently working on a multiplayer RTS game that I'll be happy to announce later this year.
I use a Canon Lumix GH5 camera to record my videos with the Olympus 17mm F1.2 lens as well as the Laowa F2.0 7.5mm compact dreamer lens. Sometimes I also use a GoPro Hero 8, a Insta360 One X and a Sony rx100 mark vii. For audio I use a Rode NTG shotgun microphone connected to a RME Fireface UFX II sound card.
Thanks a lot for watching and sharing my videos :)

But why the leg bone twist

@deniskamenski 2 года назад

@@rdssanimationtamilzhan5569 Twistbones are a way in animation to prevent joints from shrinking/distorting, by telling geometry near the joint to twist when the next bone down the line does. I hope this explanation helps.

@Furlockthe666th 2 года назад

I cannot believe how insanely helpful this tutorial was. Every single step, no matter how many times you had mentioned it before, you dictated what you were doing as you did it. Every time you selected the armature, every time you pressed a key, you said what you were doing. For someone like me who has never done this before, this was EXACTLY the kind of tutorial I needed to see. Absolutely the gold standard of this type of video, and I cannot thank you enough! This really eliminated that introductory fear of getting to know Blender for me. While I'd still consider myself an utter novice at using the software, your skill at teaching has really excited me to delve further into the murky depths and learn even more. Thank you so, so much!

@TheOneWithComments 3 года назад

In case any other beginners have this problem with the armature symmetrize mirroring front to back instead of left to right(@ 12:48) here's what worked for me: After some googling I realized my front was not to the Y-axis like in the video but to the X-axis instead, so I rotated my model and rig. BUT you still need to (in object mode) do a "CTRL+A" and select "Rotation" for armature symmetrize to work properly (and you probably should go back to 6:58 and do that again with the new axis). Hope it helps.

for people having problems with parenting the mesh to armature due to weight: -select mesh -edit mode> select all vertices -press "P"> seperate by loose parts -with all the parts of the mesh selected parent it with the armature you can join all parts once you've parented the armature

I've been learning blender off and on for almost a year and still suck at rigging. Now I'm getting into game dev and this was more helpful and concise than all the blender-focused rigging tutorials I've already seen. Thank you.

@ZEDCorbett 3 года назад

You can have multiple objects on the same armature. So you could add the hat in the usual way instead of via constraints. Shift+I in Pose mode is another way to add the IK constraint. Select controlling bone > Shift + select IK bone > Shift+I Also, didn't know about weight copying from 19:05. That's super useful!

@kat74809 2 года назад

I joined my character mesh with armature and set it to automatic weight. But my character's clothing, accessories(earring, glasses, rings, hair, hair tie), eyes, eyebrows, eyelashes, etc. none of them are following (they are their own object/layers separate from character mesh). Do I parent every one of these separate objects to my character mesh or do I parent these objects to my armature? In what order of the keys would I need to press to get everything to follow while keeping the weight?

@sriramramesh3360 17 дней назад

I have been bushing around for 3 years finally this video made me do low poly run animation 🙏

@GaryParkin 2 года назад

Great tutorial! thank you so much. For anyone else having issues at 14:40 weight painting. Make sure you don't have the root bone selected, i.e. shift-click it to unselect it before you shift click the upper leg to remove the weights from the bone. I accidentally had it selected and couldn't figure out why my mesh no longer moved with the bone. Lesson learned.

13:08 SOLUTION (Bone Heat Weighting Error) Go to Object Mode > Selcet your LowPoly Charakter > Go to Edit Mode > Press A > There should be a TAB called "Mesh" on the same height as the Edit Mode Button > Press on "Mesh" > Search for "Clean Up">(Version 2.9.x) Click on Merge by Distance || (Version below 2.9) Click on Remove Doubles > on the Left Lower Corner there should pop up a box with a number > set to the number to about 0.01- 0.001 > now Try again It worked for me this way, good luck!

Thanks. I am a complete noob at Blender. I know my way around ZBrush, so this is a new way of modeling for me, and finding an instructor that I could easily follow, without thinking, "HOLY CRAP MAN, WHAT A WASTE OF MY TIME", has been daunting to say the least. Almost enough to get me demotivated from using Blender at all. I have MANY questions and much to learn, so lets see if you can get me there 😊 Thanks

@@androidtechreviews8968 Hey man. I'll be honest I have no idea what I was doing wrong back then. But in the past year of working in blender I've figured out how to rig things pretty well.

19:15 if you haven't crushed your head against the wall yet due to vertex weight not copying, it might be that your vertices belong to different objects (check that in obj mode). Join them into one, and then copying will work.
