You are the Chosen One! Not only you covered the neck break troubleshoot, but also how to switch between IK and FK within rigify, no one else did that. Thank you! Subbed!

Will be sure to recommend this video series to someone thinking of rigging in blender 4.0 and up. clear, straight to the point and has even trouble shooting + tips here and there.

Wonderful content as well. One step at the time. I believe many new users this year will be happy to find this is well presented tutorial and create their own rigs with rigify.

Thank you for giving new video . I waited for a long time for you video .

Hey thank you for these videos. They worth me a lot. good luck on your future.

I'm literally learning rigging just from your chanel out of 10000 others ther.. really appreciate what you are doing

You're accent doesn't sound like that of a native English speaker yet you speak incredibly well, I'm a stickler for grammar and you speak perfectly. No complaints. You have a good library of vocabulary too.

Thank you for this video!

Thank you for all the superb content! Your style and teaching techniques are so perfect for the way I learn. It's fast but very thorough and provides both context and back story that many videos don't. You also find ways to show several paths to get the same results all while showing common problems and how to solve them. Just excellent! I dove into blender rigging and animation since 4.0 and came across your courses. Your new edition of the rigging course for 4.0 was great timing I quickly focused on your content as my main source. However, I find myself struggling with something. Posing the Rigify rig and how to save and manage the poses. I noticed you added a dedicated posing chapter to your previous course and you also mentioned it being a big oversight originally. Do you plan on refreshing that video chapter in 4.0? or would it be best for us to just watch the old one? I'm really trying hard to not confuse things by watching old videos unless I know you have said it's still good and maybe have indicated what might have changed. I saw you did that with the pose library video and said it was still correct content with a few things added as good-to-know items. I guess what I'm really asking is what would you suggest we watch for the best content on posing and using a Rigify rig at this time? -Mark

Fantastic video , thank you very much Sir !!!

Thanks. Very good work. 🎉

So helpful thanks man

Excelent content, already bought course, i propose next course to be about animation :D, would come in handy after rigging one. Keep up the good work, u have the best courses on youtube as far as i saw. U explain everything from the ground. Thank god for ur work!

Requesting you for discuss Rig UI both Basic and Pro in your channel as your demonstration is vivid and in depth. Please consider my request as others tutorial are either very superficial or very fast, I could not grasp it. But everybody taking notes on this golden UI for Rigify and Auto Rig Pro.

Amazing!

Thank you

Nice content, ty a lot :)

Very good bro !!

This is awesome! What happens if the rig makes something twisted strangely? My thigh bone on rig is 45 deg inward compared to metarig bone (so when I do the squat move, the knees go inward and pass through each other). I can see the the arrows on the thighs are rotate inward 45 degrees, and I've tried to rotate things and can't find the correct bone/connection to tweak in the rig. Thanks

Awesome! Do you have a video on rigging an object? Like, say I want to rig and lever to move up and down

thank you

Thanks for the video! Could you perhaps make a video for adding extra bones? My character has a ponytail that I'd like to be able to move, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to add that to the generated armature.

thank ytou! my rig works seemingly great! the only problem is that i cant bend my toes ( i want my character to use heels=) i "solved" it by deforming my mesh, but could you help me so i dont have to do deform my mesh? thank you!

Nice ❤ I have seen some rig controls that deform some part of the mesh how they do it is it useing shape key rigs do you have a video on it how it's done ??

I have a quick question, so far when I move the model up off the ground the legs and the hands don't follow the body and it'll stretch until I click on the legs and arms and move the bones next to the body. I'm trying to have the hands and legs follow the body like MMD and Mixamo. For MMD and Mixamo, the bones would still stay put but the legs and hands would still follow and not stretch. Is there a setting or something that can be changed for me have the legs and hands follow the body? Or is it just completely different with Blender's Rigify?

Thank you, just one question, when we cannot obtain correct movement on certain parts of the body, such as for example the junction between the wrist and the hand, what method do you use to correct this? At the beginning, I use the weight paint but it's really not clean, in general what I do I cut out the handle, (lowerarm) then I apply the weight with a single bone as well as the good name then I add this party with ctrl+p and empty group. I also tried voxel heat diffuse skinning like in the tutorial with the shoulders but I have never managed to use it correctly, if I do that, I must automatically do a clean up afterwards since it adds weight paint a almost everywhere on the mesh with a value less than 1.

I deleted the heel in my rig 💀💀💀 now i know why i cant use rigify, thank dude.

Thanks for your tutorial. But what is new in rigify in Blender 4. I don't see any different in according to previous versions.

i have followed your steps but when i use the rigify rig in pose the mesh model just goes all over the place and doesnt follow the rules of the bone rig, and if i use the bone rig to move the mesh in pose it works but if i click regenerate rig the mesh goes crazy

12:32 Is there a way to swap between the FK and IK while preserving the position? when you change the slider it transitions between the two, but I felt comfortable adjusting certain aspects in ik and others with fk

❤

I tried a number of times - it will create the rig but wont pose it in pose mode - then I noticed a message at the bottom: "bone heat weighting: failed to find solution". Basically the mesh was a bit of a mess - so I cleaned it up by merging overlapping verts and then it all worked fine... but wow this was crazy frustrating!

I don't really know why, but my bone gizmo changes axis automatically when I shift to pose mode no matter how hard I try to prevent it.

when I choose the mesh and the rig for the constraint the mesh doesn't move in Pose mode, what could it be?

hi why bone structrure are not being controlled by rigged button generated and with rig we are being able to strech the mesh deforming the shape ?????

Where can I download basic male and female free model?

hello , i am trying to move the dummy after generating the rig but i can't get it to move update: it was for the automatic weights I think ,but now that I put them right the skeleton came off the base ,it came off I don't know why

I may have a problem when trying to connect the rig to my character. I select the character, shift+click on the rig, control+p and then when I press "With automatic weights" my character moves bigger and laying on the ground. Whan could be the mistake or bug? Such is the error that I get: RIGIFY ERROR: Bone 'spine.004': Cannot connect chain - bone position is disjoint. Incorrect armature for type 'chain_rigs'

So the N Panel Tab for Rigify appears when in Edit Mode but disappears when in Pose Mode? I'm used to tabs being always there. Somebody please explain?

I have tried many tutorials on using rigify, and this is the latest one ive found and I still have the same problem, when I generate a rig, the arrows on the ground and the shapes that appear when people generate the rig, do not show up for me, the only thing I get is an outline of the bones, would you be able to help me figure out why ?

there is no controls showing up for me when i generate the rig

Why ? I have this problem RIGIFY ERROR: Bone 'spine.004': Cannot connect chain - bone position is disjoint. Incorrect armature for type 'chain_rigs'

Help me pls I get this error RIGIFY ERROR: Bone 'jaw_master': Could not find all mouth corners Incorrect armature for type 'skin_jaw' when generate Rig , I can't located where skin_jaw in metarig . Here me out I need to go on edit mode and controle+p to keepoffset right.

mods, snap his bones, thank you

pls rig face tutorial

not very good at explaining

i do everything then I go to pose mode and the new rig does not move my model?
