Watched multiple tutorials that used weight painting which DID NOT WORK AT ALL and wasted alottt of my time. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this tutorial, i finally got it working!
Here's an alternateway isntead of joining every part and using the L key to select everything: Before joining each part, press A, create a new vertex group, click assign, and then click the lock. Do it for each part, it's easier to select the individual parts that way.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK MY DUDE. You're a great teacher. There's some other good tutorials around here but this one is the quickest, most efficient and clearest.
Oh my god thank you, I have been watching literally 5 different videos that use weight paints. Now I need to redo my model...but now I know what to do now!
This is a really fantastic tutorial, thank you! Before this video, I didn't fully understand the benefits of having several meshes joined together and selecting their linked pieces. Makes sense to me now!
Thank you so so much!!! I have been looking for a tutorial about this for so long now, and this one actually worked!! Very simple and straight to the point. I can NOT thank you enough.
Thanks a lot, finally some knowledge about how to do things more quickly and smarter. Would you consider making a video on how to get FPS animations into Unreal and set up? I've watched a few tutorials now and one with this sort of know-how injected showing how to do it quickly would be extremely valuable I think. Especially the setup part.
Amazing tutorial of rigging a Low Poly weapon (in this case, a handgun). I did something similar to my Thompson M1A1 - a bone for each part of the gun like the bolt, trigger, magazine, magazine dispenser mechanism (lever), safe/fire lever, semi/auto lever - linked to a main bone for the entire gun. Both this video and the other one - of attaching the weapon to the character rig; are indeed helpful for FPS game development. I plan to make one based on CoD Zombies and Left 4 Dead with some WW2 firearms and fictional.
@@DevyKins About that, I plan to make a video of what I did on my firearms replica the Thompson M1A1, StG 44 and M1 Garand. Currently I'm working at a slow rate on them, but I'll record a video of them to share you.
@@DevyKins Hey there. I finally made the video of the project I've been working with a brief demonstration of the WW2 firearms attached to the player's hand in Blender - based on this tutorial. I hope you like it and don't mind if the video is pretty long. I tried my best to shorten it. ua-cam.com/video/u8kC7acyuVc/v-deo.html&ab_channel=TonyAnimaProjects
@jayanam how do you get your whole gun to be under "pistol" yet you can still have seperate parts. mine are all separate parts but if i join them it merges all the parts so the trigger is no longer seperate?
Very nice tutorial and straight to the point on how to rig the pistol. Seems really easy after your explanation. I've seen so many where they had 5 or 6 bones to do everything. But are you going to animate the gun to look like it fires a shot and eject the shell from the slide?
I have a question ? I'm wearing a bone-clad weapon and adding animation. but I get an error when I put it to unreal. the main bone system is visible, only the bone systems connected to it are not visible. and that's why it doesn't work in animosya. What could be the reason?
Tiny magazine is cute lol. I'd also animate the slide of the pistol (which means you'd also have to model a barrel), this could be used for the firing and reload animation.
Yes, have to enlarge it a bit:-) Yes, I know, modeling will be extended and also animations of the pistol with slide, bullets, reload... etc. After that I will do a weapon switching system, it will grow steadily.
Nicely done, but i dont get the pricnciple how you made u model: you have a single model and can still choose different parts of that(like mag or pistol trigger), are they connected to the model or act like separate objects attached to the pistol?
damn man, this tutorial was awesome. everything explained clearly. I was afraid to use blender from a long time because of its complex interface but now it doesnt look that hard
Hi my root bone doesn't seem to control the mesh, my other bones (I have bones for the magazine. holster pull thing and trigger) are working. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.. My model unlike yours is split into separate parts for each piece of the model.
did you find a work around/fix for this?, i have the same problem. my gun is split into seperate parts unlike his all being under pistol how do i do this?
guys I have an issue, when I finished animating everying in my character except the Root bone I did it last. but when I move the Root, the weapon separate from hands and floats in air. what to do?
@jayanam How did you made those 3 separate parts within your pistol object? I mean: what did you do that when you select them they are taken as 3 separate parts yet they all are still one pistol object? Mystery to me...can you explain it, please? Trying to make exactly this for a small LEGO set object that will be exported as FBX for UE4.
My bones act as if they don't have 100% control over their vertex group. I rotate the trigger but the bone rotates faster than the geometry. The root bone is the only bone that affects the entire gun as it should. Turns out that the vertex group weight slider is gone. I don't know where it is anymore. welp
Thanks for short video. My question about this rig is should bone movement be limited or it will not be a much of a problem when animating? (trigger rotation angle limited and only single axis not locked, mag movement only along Y of its bone etc.)
You can do this to be on teh safe side so that you dont rotate for a wrong axis by accident, but it doent affect your animation in the end, it is just a helper for your while animating to not do any mistakes.
Jayanam :Ok then where I can download this model pistol and hands without animations? And did you go planing this kind of this animation:walking,running,jumping,idl,aim, recoil and reloading?
@@programmingtacticalcode7968 Yes, I am planning these animations. You can download it when I added the first version of the Low Poly FPS Kit to Unity:-) I think it will take a few weeks til I can upload the frist alpha version with at least 2 different weapons, the animations you mentiioned, a weapon switching system and a simple HUD with display of health and current weapon.
This looks great! One thing I don't understand is: How did you create many components into a single object? Cannot find anything about this on the internet, probably searching with wrong terms -.-
@@JayAnAm In the first 30sec of the video you explain, that It is all one object but the parts can be selected seperatly by pressing the "L" key. How do I achieve this? If I switch into the edit mode I can only select faces, edges and vertices all one by one. Pressing the "L" key does nothing. I am using Blender 2.80.
@@leblobb Ah I see. Well, although it is one object, the parts of the geometry are not connected. The L key feature recognizes this and selects the separated parts. You can try this e.g. when you have a cube, then - still in edit mode - add another cube (or any kind of object). Then you can hover with the mouse of a part uf the mesh and it will be selected. But when you go to object mode, it is one object, because you added the other mesh in edit mode.
This is incredibly helpful!! I'm having a problem though when trying to add another bone to the armature after it's been parented, how do you create another connected vertex group?
accidentally found the answer like two seconds later. It connects by name, so just name the bone the same as a new vertext group that you yourself create :-)
@@gehriggosselin9468 I know its been a while but can you explain further? So there is the first one which is orange, the other two greens. Inside one of the greens is a bone. How do you duplicate it without it making a whole another orange box?
Please do some more research on how handguns work mechanically. The slide is the most important part to animate, and the sight picture you have in Unity is not lined up properly.
@@JayAnAm When you aim down handgun sights, the front sight post has to be lined up with the back two. In the example at 4:57 the front sight is much lower than the back.
Jayanam, I love your tutorials, usually. I know that weapons fascinate many morbid users, virtual or real. But many "likes" on UA-cam do not justify promoting it.

@jayanam how do you get your whole gun to be under "pistol" yet you can still have seperate parts. mine are all separate parts but if i join them it merges all the parts so the trigger is no longer seperate?

L to select individual meshes under the same group
As always another great tutorial!! :)

I'm wearing a bone-clad weapon and adding animation. but I get an error when I put it to unreal. the main bone system is visible, only the bone systems connected to it are not visible. and that's why it doesn't work in animosya. What could be the reason?

how did you place everything under the pistol in the hierarchy
Nicely done, but i dont get the pricnciple how you made u model: you have a single model and can still choose different parts of that(like mag or pistol trigger), are they connected to the model or act like separate objects attached to the pistol?
The models is made out of separate meshes, joined to one object
damn man, this tutorial was awesome. everything explained clearly. I was afraid to use blender from a long time because of its complex interface but now it doesnt look that hard

also that mag is so small lol does it only have 2 rounds
Excellent, i hope you can do a tutorial on exporting weapon rigs to UE4 one day. Great work!!
Unity my guy. Just unity
Its not working for me😢 when I select only one bone the bones are moving but not the pistol in any ways
i made a tt 33 model it has multiple part but how do i make it one object like you have done with your glock ?
im really new to blender

how does the process of rigging differ with a high poly model?
omg this helped so much
correct me if I'm wrong, so we use vertex group to animate mechanical objects or if we don't want the object to deform, right?
Yes, that is right

can you get this glock model online?
thank you so much I started it right but messed up by using weight paint
hello 'Gaandu sani' good tutorial, keep up the good work.
my mag bone moves everything besides trigger and spring ive tried everything
When i duplicate bone it make into new armature help.
Does 2.8 work?
Yes
Yeah this doesn't work for me? I've assigned vertex groups but nothing moves in pose mode.
Alright: you can't use blender's default names for bones and groups. Gotta name them yourself for it to work.
Next is tutorial for making pistol animation ?
