Hey guys, we'll be releasing the parts gradually, twice a week! Grab the complete tutorial source files here: infimagames.gumroad.com/l/fps-tutorial-source-files Check out our other work here: www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/profile/Infima+Games
Here are some tips to improve your workflow: 1. Turn on Transform Tool (Shortcut "T") 2. Turn Wireframe Opacity to "0.25 - 0.50" (You can also turn your wireframe complexity down if that helps.) 3. Make shortcuts for your most used actions (ex. setting origin to center of object)(Shortcut "Q")(Right Click in the dropdown menu's to add one) 4. As stated in the video, turning your "Transform Orientation" to "Local" really helps.
This Series is going to be so so great!!! Can't wait to watch it all... Thank you so much for providing so much high quality information for free on this channel. You are truly a goat!
The size of the gun is most conveniently determined by the rail. Because the size of the rail is highly determined, each tooth is 10mm apart. When modeling, make the bullet and the rail first, and you can basically determine the size of the entire gun.
Amazing Tutorial, been a big fan since all the way back when you released the low-poly fps pack on unity! It's cool to see how much more polished this new tutorials and assets are!
This is so practical I've been doing hard surface for a year now and I always wanted to rig my models and animate them This workflow is so amazing and practical. thanks a lot
It's crazy to think about how Valve was the one to spearhead the major use of bone rigging and animation. They wanted to push more cinematic animations for characters and gameplay vs what we had with DOOM and Wolfenstein. Very nice video man, currently working on it very slowly to make sure I don't miss a detail. 🔥
Best tutorial ive seen for rigging guns in blender to export to unreal , i've had so much trouble in the past with getting problems doing this but now i understand what am doing a lot more thanks Infima 👍👍
Im having trouble when trying to get the magazine to move with the bone, when i assign the target to SKEL_AssaultRifle in the Copy Transforms constraint, it makes the magazine go to the center and it gets really small,
Hello, what should I do if the timecode is 27:48, when I also put copy transform and bone Magazine, then my Magazine becomes very large and the location gets out of place. I did everything according to the lesson, what should have gone wrong?
It is useful however some patches changed Blender, in the part where you rig the mag, copy transforms made the mag stubborn, however copy location and copy rotation worked better
Linear motions, like a trigger, collapsable stock, or even, what can be move like a linear, can be produced by using shape keys (without using any bone) (don't forget enable import Morph targets, in unreal, on import dialogue). It can be animated in any action, what you want... And yepp! You can forget about the grip bone, by naming the vertex group (of the gun base), the same, as the armature name) 21:17 For example - Your armature named by SKEL_AssaultRifle... You can rename it by grip, and delete the grip bone inside of the armature)🎉❤😊
26:34 For example - Shape keys can limit motion of the trigger or bolt, to your needs, without any additional works with control rig. This is used only to determine the initial and final state of the selected vertices, and it can already be interpolated directly in the animation along the curve, without any bone constraints 30:17 😮 And it works as the same with rotation 31:10 (x2 😮)
22:25 You use the root object of the Armature as the root itself, then you can not build a hierarchy inside the Armature, but simply add the necessary bones, by your needs
Would love a tutorial on creating the arms from manny and setting up a rig. Any chance for this? Kinda want to see it from the very start to get more of a proper teaching.
I had a constant problem at this point that the magazine was getting very small 27:48 so I used "Child of" then I selected all the same components in it and clicked "set inverse" in it. I hope I helped someone.
It actually helped! But now when I wanted to add constraints to the Gun model "&t=38m22s the gun model also got very small, do you know if there is a fix for this?
@@jaysartchannel honestly, I don't really remember what was in this lesson, but in fact we only added a movement restriction for the shutter and trigger, that is, they simply forbade moving along the same coordinates, so I don't know how to help, try not to forbid the weapon itself to move
i fucking love you ... ive watched this thing 5 times and my mag kept rotating and offsetting i pray your pillow is cold on both sides and you have the best nights sleep ever
@InfimaGames How did you make the texture from all the assigned materials ? I can't seem to figure that out, and it is one of the most important parts of the whole series, especially in case we want to use the rest of TastyTony's models. Please give us some pointers on how you have removed the materials from the weapon and how you've made the texture itself. The rest of the series looks pretty interesting, and I can't wait to start working on animations !
Man i would sell my soul, 1 leg, 1 hand, 3 toes, and forced to step on Legos for 5 mins to see how you rigged them arms with whatever game rig tools thing you said.
Did you make the mag separate because the rifle can exist without the mag standalone? In a different video i saw them use vertex groups for the mag as well
Awesome tutorial! One quick question, did anyone else have an issue where the trigger bone was pulling some vertices with it that weren’t part of the trigger? All the other bones worked just fine but for some reason the trigger is buggy.
If the trigger bone is moving other parts of the model it most likely has random vertices assigned to it, you can go through the vertex groups one by one and check which parts of the model are assigned to each bone, make sure that only the trigger part of the model is assigned to the trigger bone vertex group, hope that helps :)
@@InfimaGames thank you so much, I must’ve made a mistake somewhere I’m not sure where, but I just deleted the bones and remade them again and didn’t have any issues. Thanks again!
How would I animate different attachments like underbarrel grips or different mags? Do I rig all attachments in one file and hide it in animation or is it all the same bone with more meshes ?
@@nicola783 I will give that a try in the morning, I was noticing the issue around the 28 minute mark when trying to connect the mag to the gun. Thank you in advance
Hello! i have a quite strange problem with Copy Transform on Magazine Bone. My Magazine become really huge when i apply the copy transform on it(this moment 27:52) Does someone know how to fix it? Its working correctly i mean its moving with the Grip bone but i dont know what happened to the size Well, i have solved the problem by just appling the scale of bone....
Thanks man, you're a lifesaver. I had this exact problem, my mag wanted to disappear when copying transforms. Turned out i forgot to apply scales and was using a different scale for the mesh than for the skeleton(armature)
@@sisqobmx Im using s&box actually. But same process applies in unity or unreal. Upload magazine solo as a separate mesh, turn off magazine mesh on the full weapon. And parent solo magazine to full weapons magazine bone.
@@Dallas4090 That makes sense yep thanks for the explanation. Did you export the weapon mesh with the mag included? Or did you export the wep mesh seperately from the mag? And wow its kind of suprising to see s&box user! when is it getting released?
@@sisqobmx Yea, I snuck into private access like 5 months ago. It’s a pretty dope engine. I don’t think there is a release date yet, but a few weeks ago it was opened up for public access. So you should download and check it out.
I know I’ve been asking a lot of questions but I’m very new to unreal and I’m still confused on how you guys do fps. For the lpsp is it a mannequin with a set of arms attached to it? Or how did you guys have it set up
It's not an addon, just a saved preset that fills in the export settings, you can add one yourself by pressing the plus button next to where it says "Operator Presets" 👍

The best, most detailed video on the market so far, keep it up!
I now know how to rig a gun! New skill unlocked! Thank you! I am gonna try rigging my own pistol model next and see how it goes. 💪

great playlist for beginners and gameDev lovers, thanks buddy...
just thanks, Thanks a lot for making this series, Im gon learn a lot from this hopefully
Man.. What I want is that desktop background!
Amazing! Thank you so much, You Are Great, I love U! ❤
Thank you very much for your dedication and for making this free content available, it helped a lot, I learned a lot. thank you very much. 🙏👏

yeeaaaa thanks for the tutorial
Very excited for this tutorial! how often will videos be posted? also where can I support?

Uh doesn't the static mesh have usually x axis as forward in Unreal Engine?
This Tutorial is very good!! Thank you~ ; )
Glad you like it! :)

Hey can u please create one video like this on muskets
Creating a multiplayer game where i want the full character mesh to show for other players, not just the arms. How can i do this? Thanks! :)

@@sisqobmx No problem. Im glad to hear that)
🤩
Any reason for exporting the skeletal mesh without the magazine?
What is the process of converting the textures like on the original model to the one used?
when i did with empty groups the mesh got really big and flipped 90 degrees how do i fix that
A blender tutorial isn't blender tutorial if we don't delete the cube 🤣
When I went to add the vertex groups, only one was created: "Grip," it was all the bones grouped. How do i get separate vertex groups?
Can you maybe explain how do I do the rigging if I want to have 2 magazines? (meaning I want the animation to be double mag)
Since the magazine is moving by constraint, the mesh wont move in the game engine during reload animation. (This is a problem Im currently having)
Nevermind, I added the magazine mesh as a child of the magazine bone in my game engine. And I got the correct behavior.
Do you use Unreal or Unity? And if unreal, can you explain how did you set the magazine mesh as the child of the magazine bone?
@@sisqobmx Im using s&box actually. But same process applies in unity or unreal. Upload magazine solo as a separate mesh, turn off magazine mesh on the full weapon. And parent solo magazine to full weapons magazine bone.

can you help me, when i rotate the bone the mesh shrinks
Great video, was there any reason to have the bones lay flat instead of standing straight?
It's so that they match the default rotation in Unreal Engine, which is a bit different compared to Blender 👍
Hey, that's a great gun! will you teach us how to model it as well?
Hey, the gun model we're using is made by TastyTony, you can find their work on Sketchfab 👍
someone explained whole viewmodel animating in 23 min
I know I’ve been asking a lot of questions but I’m very new to unreal and I’m still confused on how you guys do fps. For the lpsp is it a mannequin with a set of arms attached to it? Or how did you guys have it set up
For LPSP we use the UE4 Mannequin as a Skeleton, and we're using just the arms as the Skeletal Mesh rigged to it.
@@InfimaGames ooohhh that makes more sense
