Blender Secrets - Robot Rigging (Part 1 - The Armature)

Rigging a robot character has its own specific challenges. In this video we look at aligning the Armature with one side of the robot. In the next 2 parts we’ll look at symmetrizing, bone roll and constraints.

Incredibly valuable. Knowing how to control the 3D cursor and pivot point has been a pain in the rear as a user who is just getting started in 3d with blender. I was struggling with this and the transformation orientations (still a bit confused about that one - Global, Local, Parent and so on). But this is pure gold.

that's also the method I use to rig eye spheres, very helpful

With every technique I learn my animation scope grows expo.

Luckily this is a rigid body 😁, but once properly rigged it gives you many satisfactions.

It still surprises me that people still use the top drop down menus instead of right click

Thanks ! I need help please, how do you get the rig to not deform the mesh like it would for a human ? because since it is a robot i want each part of his body to be separated, not to deform each other while posing. I tried adjusting weight painting and it doesn't change a lot, would you have an idea please ?

[starktime]

should the robot already control + j or should the parts left

[marcinb]

I wonder how will you solve the stretchy and bending nature of rigify that is unacceptable with robots

[mpbmelhores]

how could I mirror, so I don't have to do the same work on the other side

милион каких то кнопок надо нажать чтобы это сделать.Основная проблема бблендера.

this is exactly the problem with the blender make tutorials without any foundation....the result is a dyslexic art community just like the tool development itself
