    10:14 If you are using Blender 4.0, there have been some changes. Now, you need to press the Ctrl + Shift combination to select a bone

    Dale, thanks. This is by far the best video ive seen for rigging a character. I don't think I saw anywhere in which you state "but first you must" or at least not unnecessarily. Explaining things in linear form is the best way for some of us lol. Blessings bro.

    I tried following this without audio and managed to link my arms and legs together.
    Following with audio was much more helpful haha I managed to fully rig my first 3d project (a purple grung (a dnd race) called Argh Stickyfeet) within 10 minutes.
    Thank you ♡

    thx for the tut. I got my man rigged and bones named but bones are sticking out of him unless I disable bones in side panel from showing. I guess that's how you render is just disable the armature at render time. Now I just need to figure out how to animate the poses! thx

  • @DavesChaoticBrain
    @DavesChaoticBrain 2 роки тому +3

    This was great! Thank you. I've avoided learning this because actually animating is very intimidating to me. I'm not even going to say how many years I've avoided it but it rhymes with "plenty". Hahaha...Now, how do I constrain the rotation of some of the joints? Like elbows and knees only bend one way but the joints on the rig go everywhere. Also, I'm going to ask before attempting it, how would I then export this character with the armature to use in Unreal? Can I export just the armature to import to an existing character in Unreal? Probably not your area of expertise so no worries if you don't know but maybe someone else will se this and be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks again!

    • @thelastdev
      @thelastdev  2 роки тому

      watch this video and I assume it will answer all these question except the export to ue5 part, but that is simple also just export the rig and character in FBX format ua-cam.com/video/S52A-K5tLDc/v-deo.html

      Hey same here, how did it go? For me it started to have some problems with posing. :/ For example, if I want to rotate the body, half of the mesh stays where it was, it's like some weird stretching.
      Edit: I solved the problem, for now.
