Control your Blender Rigs like a Pro
In this video, Juan Hernandez explains how to automate animations using a custom rig controller. Not only we will take a look on how to set this up, but also showcase some situations where this can be very useful, like a robot arm or a bird and dragon wing.

@@gower1973 LPL definitely has lots of great driver stuff (amongst others) - but personally I'd love to see CG Boost do an in depth practical tutorial series, even if with less focus on a on a less complicated model - fingers crossed.

Great words
Super informative and clear tutorial. I've never understood Blender drivers very well, but this video unlocks that level for me. Thanks, Jaun and CG Boost!
This was so incredible. I gained so much knowledge watching this. Muchas gracias!
Really helpful the upfront example. Also helped me understand a bit of how all rigs get those complex but helpful controllers. Thank you!
I am trying to put together something similar, and this tutorial helped me a lot! Thanks!
Just shifted from Maya and C4D, wanted to try advanced rigging stuff in blender. Thanks man, you made it look so simple and it so easy to understand! Keep up the good work! :D ❤
Great video mate. Hard to find decent animation videos that visualise the techniques well. Good work.
Amazing. Great insight!
Wish I would’ve know about this a few months ago when I was rigging up my low-poly dragon. I made something like this, that was very hackey, which involved duplicated armature bones and copy location constraints on a driver. Having done that, I can safely say that this seems to be a much better solution.
Your content is pure gold, thank you!
Finally, I've been asking the equivalent for Maya's Set Driven Key and everyone pointed me to drivers... I just needed this constraint.
this went way over my head.. but I can tell this is super helpful, thank you!!!
Thank you for making such excellent tutorials!
Thank you for the detailed tutorial 。It's fantastic!
I've been looking for this. Thank you
This is fantastic information!
I think an in-depth video about rigging dragon wing and making that robot arm along with the animation would be cool

Would love to see the dragon wing creation including rigging!!
I used this knowledge to animate a weapon coming out of my transformers arm. Thank you so much for this video!!
This is amazing! I am not sure I'll use it soon but it was something I always wanted to know how to do!!!!
That was extremely helpful and informative thanks for the effort 👍
Nice tutorial, it will be of great help
Yeay. Juan is Back At it. Love it
that was super helpful. and comprehensive in a nutshell. Thank you
You save me today with this tutorial bro! Thanks!
Sooooo Wonderful tutorial thank you so much. :)
This is one of a great tutorial, thank you.
Wowowowowow!!! This is perfect. About like magic. Just what I needed, complex actions made simple. Congrats. If you ever need ideas for tutorials, just ask, I have plenty. 🙂
Changed my world!
This actually helped me so much. Thank you!
So helpful! Corrective shape keys have saved my life
great, and really well explained!! thank you very much!
Awesome tutorial, made me understand a lot more about animation! Thanks
This video is priceless, its helped me a lot :)
INCREDIBLE. Thank you so much!
Whoa!!! Just brilliant!!! This would definitely make repetitive motions/poses very easy to get to, 1000 thankyous!!
This is very comprehensive, thanks!
Beautiful, gave me a lot to think about. Would've been great for my latest project. For one, I used Build-in Function for the characters' secondary motions, which is cute but basic. I also used bone constraints activated by audio levels, but it looks so limited now. Notably, lacking in-between control.
This is very informative. I'm now starting to understand Blender Actions.
Wow great, thanks Juan for sharing 😊
Great vid and very useful! Thank you!
Oh man more of this! So awesome!

I would love to see an in depth of creating those wings. Oh boy I am dreaming of having a tutorial on that.
Great tutorial 👍
I just recently created my dragon and was wondering how to deal with wings. This video is just the thing i need. simply awesome. I sincerely hope that there would be some tutorial on making those dragon wings you showed with perhaps additional way to use cloth simulation. Still, great video nontheless.
