This course is amazing, I’m so glad I came across it. It is exactly what I needed, it’s simple yet challenging and engaging enough which makes it easy but interesting to follow. I also love the ending segment! I really tend to forget to appreciate the steps taken in learning something entirely new, which is so so important. I was really surprised to hear a reminder to be proud of the results, but it puts a smile on my face every time I hear it in another video. It is very encouraging and makes the process much more fun! Thank you for the awesome videos, I don’t leave comments often but with this series I just had to!

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
@CGDive8 ай бұрын
Hi Mark, Thank you for the positive words and support! Thanks to your comment, "Posing" is now planned as a bonus chapter, exclusively on Academy. :) I will try to record and release it in early January 2024. Stay tuned! However, the old video that you have access to already covers most of what you need to know. I don't think the interface changes affect that particular video much. The information in the new one will probably overlap to ~80% with the old one. So I would recommend just watching the old one now, rather than waiting weeks for the updated video. If anything is not clear, please ask a question on Academy. I am happy to help and that can also give me ideas for the new video.

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

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".

I am not sure either but it is probably a rookie mistake. I am not trying to offend you, it's a normal part of the process. When I am new to something, I find amazing creative ways to break it.

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'
@Leon-b6 ай бұрын
spine.004 is always disjointed from spine.003 by default
@CGDive6 ай бұрын
I think the two problems are noy related. Regarding the mesh changing position. Your mesh probably has unapplied location/rotation/scale. Select it in object mode > ctrl+A > All Transforms. Parent with automatic weights after that. As for "bone position is disjoint": the solution is in the video. I am not going to make it easy for you :)
@WickedStories5077 ай бұрын
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?

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 ?????
@CGDive4 ай бұрын
My guess is you expect the generated rig to control the Metarig. That is not how Rigify works. The Metarig just defines the size and proportions of the final rig. It is not meant to deform the character or be animated. The character is bound to the Generated rig.

@CGDive7 ай бұрын
@@78amir.j Ah ... I don't have a video about that but it can be done with a simple driver. You give the shapekey value a driver and make it depend on, say, the movement of a bone. E.g. as the bone moves "up", the shapekey value starts going from 0 to 1. It doesn't have to be a bone actually. It can be an empty or anything that can be used in a driver expression. But bones have the advantage that they can belong to the same armature so you can create the whole driver system within the same rig. Hope this makes sense :)

@jhonysteak55127 ай бұрын
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.
@CGDive7 ай бұрын
"when we cannot obtain correct movement on certain parts of the body" The question is too general. Different parts are handled with different techniques and even then there are personal preferences. Some of the common techniques are: -weight painting -adding automated bones -adding automated shape keys -lattices -etc. For the wrist in particular, a common solution is an additional bone that "twists" together with the hand.

Overall, you are correct. Intermediate/Advanced users can just keep using Rigify, business as usual :) But complete beginners may find it a bit more difficult since smaller and bigger changes have piled up. The big differences are in the Bone Collections. The last part of the course deals with that.
