Ever wondered how you can easily rig your character? And also want to be able to pose and animate your character using inverse kinematics? Then you clicked on the right video!
In this video I'll show you how to add a fully functional rig to your own custom character and add IK to your rig to be able to easily create awesome poses and animations.
Be sure to check out my other Blender character tutorial in which I walk you through the basics of how to create a character from scratch:

Cannot select the mesh and then select the armature on MacBook air keyboard ? if any one know how...much appreciated... i've tried ctrl, shift, option, command...

Great and transparent tutorial, but 10:05 is bad practice to fix pole issues. The most professional way to fix it is to enable armature edit mode, set bone axis display to be displayed and rotate thigh bone so x axis is pointing directly to the pole bone. When you change pole angle like you did, the pole rotation range is decreased by 90d (pole rotation range is from -180d to 180d). That unfortunatly cause more problems at more advanced animations. Besides of that, rest of tutorial is really beginners friendly and that's important. Keep it up and good luck :)

@GaryParkin 2 жыл бұрын

@@allyssaswain2394 If you click on the Data Object Properties, (little man running) then Viewport Display, you have a bunch of options under Show: I turn them all on to see the name, Shapes, Group Colors and Axes. That said, I usually use front view, then Armature/Bone Roll/Recalculate Roll (shift-n) then choose View Axis. The bone's X axis should be pointing in the direction of the PoleIK bone. (His thighIK bone). Also if you use N to open the right panel and in the Item tab, you can set the Roll directly for each bone. That's how I do it sometimes. That usually works. I hope this helps.

@@GaryParkin Hi, Thanks for the explanation. I've done what you and Bartosz recommended, but the thigh bone of my mesh won't rotate to match, so the lower leg is facing the correct way, but the thigh is pointing outwards and can't be rotated. Any idea how to solve that please?

An actually good and straight forward tutorial, if you're having trouble with automatic weights deforming your mesh, first recalculate your normals, if that doesn't work check if you have faces inside your mesh, delete them, recalculate normals and parent the mesh/rig again. I made my mesh using primitives for the most part and caused issues with that

Old tutorial but still probably the easiest to understand for setting up IK constraints. Tip for anyone like me following along in the future, before parenting the mesh to the armature, u need to disable deform in the bone properties tab for all of the IK bones, otherwise when u move the IK bones too far they will deform the mesh, u wont be able to weight paint it out due to the vertex groups containing deform information for those bones in general, if u have already parented ur mesh u will need to unparent and then do this, this is also helpful for game engines as u can specify exporting without these bones if u wanted to

Thank you for this amazing tutorial, it isn't unnecessarily long, and it isn't short to the point where ya might miss out on things. Though I do have one issue I came across. When changing the pole angle to -90, the knee and heel did face the pole target properly, but when I bent the knee any higher than the pole, it bent backwards and I couldn't understand why. Not until I simply moved the pole up and further away from the rig itself and it was fine. If the pole is too close, the knee won't have anywhere to go and is forced backwards even if you changed the rotation to face it. Just move it up a bit and away from the position that's shown. Hope that helps someone!

Works great, thanks for this. The only thing I did different was on the foot.L and foot.R I used the 'copy rotation' constraint with the bone set to the shin IK bones. Axis X and Y and Mix=After orginal worked well. This keeps the foot bones parented to the main deform rig.
