@hira1472 4 ай бұрын

When I first started learning Blender last summer I tried out the default metarig for a human I wanted to export to unreal, and my immediate impression was "this seems very limited (to human anatomy) and complex (to control)". This does such a good job breaking down why its much more flexible than it lets on at a glance, and at least in 4.0 how the controls can be much cleaner than the initial generated rig make it seem. I look forward to watching and implementing the full series, thank you!

Man, I can't tell you how much I can't wait to get into this! It sounds like the perfect opportunity! 🙏🏻 but this wouldn't be the internet without controversy unfortunately, so I have to be that guy who would really want to know how do you feel about blender's rigging tools (updated to 4.0), in regards to what rigging can do in Maya as well? I'm curious about an animation comparison too, if you have the time 😄! Thanks for reading this ❤️

@CGDive 6 ай бұрын

I am the wrong guy to ask since I don't use Maya. I hope someone would chime in but people are biased so you will get people who say Blender can't compete with Maya, others saying the opposite, and everything in-between. And the problem with people's opinions on the internet is that you don't know if you can trust them. Some people may speak from experience, others may be fan-boys. What I can say regarding Blender is that it is more than sufficient for all sorts of rigging and animation purposes and there is a lot of development happening right now. But if you really need to make a choice between Blender and Maya then you are right to ask the question. I am sorry I can't help much in that regard.

@bogdanvasile5460 6 ай бұрын

@@CGDive it's okay, I do appreciate your input! And I'm learning a lot about blender rigging from you 🙏🏻 (which is a lot, because resources for Maya are a bit more scarce in this regard). I'll probably have to do an experiment and try both, and then come back with some feedback on it

@ESD8000 7 ай бұрын

Will the custom rig portion go into mechanical rigging, too? Like, for example, how to set up and rig a manufacturing robot arm alongside the needed constraints and small changes inside the bones (like bendy bone chain lengths of 0). I know this technically isn't what rigify excels at, but it still offers a great user UI and controls for animation later, and you could combine both mechanical and organic rigging under its toolset.

@CGDive 7 ай бұрын

Hmmm, that's tricky. Rigify simply doesn't have any tools for mechanical rigging. You could build them manually with raw_copy but that's too complicated for a beginners course.

@CGDive 6 ай бұрын

Wow, thank you! As for Blender to game engines, I have a whole course/playlist about that. It's not exactly "Rigify to Unreal". It is more broad but once you understand the broad workflow, you can apply it to Rigify as well. If you look further down in the playlist you will find Blender to Unreal videos in which I actually use Rigify. They are a bit old but a lot should still apply kzfaq.info/sun/PLdcL5aF8ZcJvCyqWeCBYVGKbQgrQngen3

is this gonna include the new samples like skin? also one big missing part from the previous course was attaching clothes and hair to a character one thing that would be also useful is when said hair and/or clothes have bones.

At 2:10 you mention that we can build our own rigs. I was wondering if that means I can add say, torso tweak bones to an armature that wasn't made in Rigify. This armature has a bunch of drivers and stuff so i can't really start from scratch, but it has no torso tweak bones which really sucks since they can be super useful.

Ah, no. Or at least something like that would be super advanced. Watch the series to learn exactly what you can do but tldr you are limited to the Rigify way of doing things.

This might be a stupid question, but when I convert my Human Generator character into Rigify, I seem to be missing the shoulder part of the rig seen here.

You should ask the Human Generator creator for the most up to date information but the shoulder should be there. Switch to x-ray mode, the shoulder control may be inside the character mesh.

Is it possible to save all the Rigify samples in a nice little section of the Asset Browser? So then they can be drag and dropped in scene? I think this would be a nice visual feedback with the Asset Browser previews if possible.

@CGDive 7 ай бұрын

That is a nice idea which hadn't crossed my mind, so I don't know. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes! One issue I can think of off the top of my head is that assets are objects so you will have to join the armatures after you add them to the scene.
