    In 4.1, my armature poses are not changing based on my keyframes. The object is rotating and moving in accordance with the keyframes, but maintains the last pose that I placed it in throughout the entire animation.

    @@mck3D It's just an armature I made myself, but I have discovered the solution, which was to select all the bones in pose mode after setting the pose and create Whole Character keyframes by accessing the dropdown menu which is accomplished by way of the K key whereas in previous versions of Blender it was the I key. What I had been doing before was just hovering over the location and rotation dialog boxes in the object data panel and clicking the I key to set the keyframes.

    My pleasure, I'm glad that it helped you. For your problem, there are some common issues that I will list here for you: 1- Please make sure when you select your model and go into the modifiers tab (Wrench Icon), in the armature modifier the "Preserve Volume" option is checked. 2- Sometimes due to the perspective misjudge we will put the joints outside of the model, please make sure to check that every joint is inside of the model. 3- *(Most Common)* There are other bones that have an influence on the arm, for example, the chest bone has an influence on the arms and keeps the arms from moving instead it deforms it, the more the chest bone has influence, the more the arm will deform (shrinks in this case). to check that, go to the properties panel in the right section (Green Triangle) and go to the weight paint mode, then in the vertex groups section go through each bone (Vertex Group) and check if relevant bones have an influence on the arms or not. If there is a bone that should not control the arm, just remove the weight on the arms. P.S.: when your model turns pinkish on vertex groups just pass that bone, it's IK bone don't paint them. 4- Sometimes there are duplicate bones in the same place that both have control on the region, make sure to check for that too. Please let me know if your problem is fixed or not.

    Thank you! You're a lifesaver for beginners. Just subscribed to your channel. But I have one more question: How can I prevent the neck from stretching unusually at 4:01? Let's suppose I need to move the head upwards, downwards, or perform head cracking. Alternatively, to put it simply, how can we stop stretching altogether?

  • @mck3D

    @mck3D

    3 ай бұрын

    Thank you, I appreciate it. about your question, since an unusually deforming neck consists of several layers, I will explain them to you: 1) - the first obvious thing to check is the weight paints, remember that if some other bone (EX: shoulder bone) even has the slightest influence on the neck geometry, your neck bone doesn't control the neck 100% and this can cause to deformation when you move other bones (EX: shoulder) or underperforming when you move the neck bone, so the first thing is to check if every bone controls what they should, and in pro rigging, you actually need a little or more control of other bones on a region geometry but keep it simple for now. 2) - the second thing that can cause a problem is that you don't want the head to rotate or move more than what is realistic, to control this, you need to add bone constraints, you can choose to limit a bone's transform, rotation, scale, this way you make sure for example your neck doesn't turn 180 degrees or move out of place. 3) - even with all of this, there are always little deformations in the model that need to be fixed in the shape keys, but the sweet part is that you can set a driver for the bone to control the value of the shape key depending on the bone transform. EX: you move your hands up and your armpits stretch too much ( let's imagine that you can't fix this with weight painting because the arm is too close to the chest), so you put the arms in an up position, create a shape key, and fix the geometry either in edit mode or in sculpt mode, then you set a driver from the shape key to the shoulder rotation, this way when your arm is in the down position, your shape key value is 0 and when you start moving your arm up, gradually the shape key value increases until it reaches the value 1 in the up position.

    Thanks. Can you do a vid on how to setup Shape keys (for export to UE4 as "Morph Targets")? E.g. Where a body part or the gun is normal size, then small or moved (to hide). Or a helmet visor that is in normal position (closed), then another frame it is raised (open) - then in my game engine I can blend from 0 to 1, for a smooth open, without needing an animation file. [Specifically I need to know how to [bake?] these key frames on specific weights/meshes, to export as FBX, without exporting any animation frames. Because for UE4, the first step is to Import an FBX without animation, merely to get the "Skeleton" in the engine. After that, we can Import another file with animations, which we set to use the existing Skeleton (the first FBX file that we imported).] Another guy said hed make a vid 7 months ago but didnt. Im not sure the exact steps in Blender, to make it exportable. Ty.

I export them without leaf bones, and I noticed that both the deform bones are moving around and the ik bones remain. I noticed the deform bones for thigh and calf have scaling value. I can't seem to find a solution to fix this. Hoping you could help, Thanks

    sorry for the late reply, each software has a different approach to importing the rig and model but if you are trying to import a model back into a blender it's actually very easy, imagine you have a blender file that has your animation scene and you have a blender file that you've made a character inside and you want to import your character to the scene for animation, what you can do is simple, if you rigged your character with Rigify ( I think it's the same with ARP), you should have your "meta rig" armature make sure you unhide it first select your models (you don't need to select your rig) shift + select your meta rig armature (I mean the bones themselves not the rig) now press CTRL + C to copy everything and go to the scene file and press CTRL + V, your model will be imported with the textures and rigs fully working then you can hide the meta rig again, remember that you need to open two different instances of blender at the same time to do this trick but it's pretty easy for moving things between blender scenes.

    there are two ways that I can suggest to you : 1- Select your rig then shift + select your mesh(character) and go to the weight painting mode, in the weight painting mode you can CTRL + click on any bone and that bone is selected, for example, CTRL + click the arm bone and check all the arm bones then check if any arm bone has any influence on the chest or not, if yes, with the bone selected just paint the chest with the weight 0 of the brush(and keep in mind sometimes the are a little bit of influence and you think it's fully blue but it's not so check it closely) 2- The second suggestion is to select your mesh and go to the edit mode then in the vertex groups in object properties select the bone you have trouble with(ex: arm bone) then in the edit mode(vertex selection mode) select all the chest vertices (remember to use the ghost(transparent) mode so that you select everything in the chest, then in the vertex groups click on the remove button, this way you clear the influence of the selected bone on the selected vertices.

    Thanks, you are awesome. Rigify have some good features and most importantly it's free, but it gives you basic rigging, good for personal projects and even some games but it's not good for AAA games and Films, Auto Rig Pro have some quality of life rig controls and much much better weighting algorithms thanks to voxel heat maps and it's closer to production ready rigs of course AAA companies will create their own rig but ARP is the closest to a production level rigging, I used BlenRig but not in a real project so I'm not qualified enough to approve it but what I saw was some nice features some nice rig controls like ARP and a good thing was you create blend shapes along the way of creating your rig, and it's free, it seems to be one of the greatest tools in near future.

    Hi, from your explanation, if I get it right, I think your problem is with the weight painting, in the weight painting part of this video you can solve your problem by selecting your model, going to the weight painting, then from the right panel selecting the head bone that moves the head, then paint we red ( Value 1) on the parts that should move with the bone but stuck in place, probably the problem is that some places of the head are not painted correctly and the bone only moves the painted parts and the stretching happens, the gun issue is for separate objects, you can fix it with weight painting too but it's easier to fix it with bone parenting.

    Firstly thank you for watching, sure I would love to help, if I understand your problem correctly, you want to move a bone and some part of the character should move with the bone but it does not move exactly with the bone, it moves but slower and if you look at the rig controllers, there are in a place more forward than the mesh and mesh is always try to catch up but never rich the bone, right? If the problem I explained is exactly your problem then it's still about the weight painting, and actually, the problem is that some other bones influence the mesh part you are trying to move even if it's 0.00001 percent influence, the actual bone try to deform the part but other bone keeps it from doing so, in a lot of cases you can not check it with eye, because the influence value is too small that the paint we see is Dark Blue, what you can do is : 1 - Seeing the name of the bone/bones that should have control on the mesh part 2 - Go to object mode, select your mesh, go to edit mode, in vertex mode, select the vertices that cause you problem 3 - In the vertex group of this mesh while selecting the vertices of your mesh, go through each and every bone(vertex group) and select them one by one and press "Remove" button below the vertex group section. P.S : Keep in mind to not remove the control of the vertex groups (bone) that should have influence on the mesh. Not the only bone/bones that have control on your mesh(part) are the ones you want.

    it doesn't matter, every addon and every custom rig (those that are not created with the addons) all have skeletons, and you need to place the skeletons in a way that real skeletons bend, placing skeletons in your rigging can change how the mesh will bend.

    generally, you can modify any rig as long as you know how it is made, but sometimes small and easy things get complicated if you don't know exactly what the original rigger did, you can always start rigging it from scratch with Riggify or auto rig pro and in both of them you can implement the tail rigs, may I will do a custom rig for this new course that I'm recording, that way you can do you own rigs with these two addons.@@dex.9122

    I'll try to make a detailed course about Auto Rig Pro (as much as I myself know about) but until then, in general in Auto Rig Pro you need to select the main limb (for hand it's upper arm) then go to the limb options in the right panel (pressing N will reveal the panel) in the ARP panel will open up the limb options and you can check or uncheck the limbs you don't need and in the right panel you can also add more bones, I'm pretty sure that I saw a tail bones there too.

    I love rigify but as of 3.6 and 4.0 at least for me something changes on the horse after exporting. The changes happen inside of blender itself so I don't believe this to be game engine related. As soon as I export the horse it is as if someone went in and changed the front heel rotation on every keyframe I saved. I tried using the wolf as workaround but it did the same thing. I have done a few horses and wolfs with ease in the past so idk what I am doing wrong.

    @@mck3D I used to use unity but changed to godot. This bug happens to me inside of blender tho. As a test I was exporting to a verity of places including desktop. Yes the change will carry over to the engine I am using but the ghost deformation happens inside of blender itself the second the export finishes. So weird because I have exported many horses in the past with tons of animations and have never seen this before. I have seen animations change or not carry over correctly once inside of a game engine due to human error before but I never seen them change inside of blender itself after an export.

    if it's in Blender and it's somewhat a new thing, I assume that it is some kind of export options problem, in each version of Blender option changes and sometimes ruin the work until you figure it out, Blender 4 is totally a new thing in terms of rigging, I didn't try it yet but I know it ruins the rigs in older versions. but if you have the same problem in Blender 3.6 there are a few options I want you to check and change around maybe your problem get fixed. when exporting FBX in the Transform section, check the Forward and UP axis and you can try to check the Apply Transform box. In the Armature settings of export window. primari and secondary bone axis may fix the problem and also try removing the add Leaf Bones checkbox. if you problem happens before even exporting your model, there might be a problem with transforms, please check if you applied transforms to the skeleton and model before even start rigging and weight paintitng, to apply transforms press ctrl+a and apply all transforms. for game engines it's important to fix your model and rig origin point, so please fix them before exporting, most of the time your origin point should not be in the center of the model but below the object.

    ​@@mck3DThanks for the reply:) I always reset the transform, rotation, and scale on my horse model prior to any rigging. The horse model I made is the exact size and shape of the rigify horse so I am not moving, rotating, scaling, or weight painting anything rig wise. Just adding the rigify horse, generating, auto weight, and animating. if I export with a simple idle animation everything is fine but If I export with a gallop animation then I get the front heel ghost rotations inside of blender itself. I don't think I am moving horse foot ik to extreme and if I was I would like to think that I would see the change happen live prior to an export. Just following the normal horse gallop keyframes protocol. I can report as of this morning that I am not seeing this behavior If I use just the metarig but of course I want to use the generated rig and so thank you for all the help. I will try everything you suggested👍

    No worries, thank you for asking, one last thing that comes to my mind, is a problem that sometimes when you animate stuff you will face, is the twisting of thin parts, if your problem is the same, this happens because the AI of the application can't figure out from point A to B in which direction should turn your rig, it's actually a common problem in animations, and a lot of times happens when you try to move animation from an application to another, one fix could be to add an in-between keyframe at 50% of the movement so that application can figures out the direction of rotation, and another simpler fix is to go to Curve editor in the destination application and edit the curve the, it will change the direction of rotation, you will spot an extreme curve in the curve editor, it's probably the curve you are looking for.

    NONE of these tutorials actually give advice on what to do if your character won't parent to the mesh. sure rigidify works on basic humanoid characters but it fricking sucks at rigging stylish or non human characters. manual rigging is best but i still find the FK an IK joins hard to rig on my own

    these types of auto solutions are mostly for human characters but you can almost rig anything with Rigify and Auto Rig Pro, it's just adding additional bones to the character It's true that every professional animation model should be custom-rigged, and the reasons are not one or two, there are a lot of benefits, but for a lot of people these auto rigging methods saved a lot of time. I try to make a video about custom rigging so that you can rig IK and FK with ease.

    yes, this is the normal workflow for game characters also, there are two types, either you retopology the clothes with your character way you will implement the clothes textures and definitions in the texturing phase, and technically you have one solid mesh then you will rig that. the second method is that you need to weight paint and rig the model separately and then add the clothes and transfer wight paint from the body to the clothes so that the clothes will move with the character in the game engine. the second method is usually used with games with more budget on the polygons and mostly in the RPG type games where you need to add clothes on top of the characters. But it's great that you mentioned your problem and solution, maybe I create a video about it. cheers

    you need to turn on the addon, if you are using Auto Rig Pro or Rigify (blender Built in), to do so, go to the edit menu => preferences => addon => Rigify (for Example) the turn it on by clicking the check box, after that when you press SHIFT + A you should see the armature option.

    The control bones are still tiny? can you explain the problem to me? I'm sure it's something minor that we can fix. Rigify is a good tool if you are not going to use it for an AAA game or an industry level animation, it's useful to make entry level animations or presentations of your model but if the model is not moving good with Rigify there is a chance that it needs to be optimized.
