EASY and QUICK Character Rigging in Blender - Blender Basics Tutorial

Animation is a whole thing, but before you can make any animations for your game, you're going to need to rig your characters. Lucky for you, in most cases you'll be able to get a very powerful rig within minutes due to blender rigify add-on!

When parenting the object to the rig for some reason you have to use control instead of shift to select both objects, usually it's shift when selecting multiple objects. When using shift the automatic weight option doesn't appear.

I'm doing a university work and I spent more than 10 hours rigging a character step by step. I feel so dumb now watching I could have finished it in less than 15 minutes... Thank you so much buddy, next time I'll search a tutorial in YT instead of follow the teacher's steps HAHAHA

[huongthao]

Brilliant!!
Now that they have good base meshes for me to use, this video is perfect to pose characters for scenes for a graphic novel!!

This is a very good tutorial, thanks!! The options and keys in Blender are so innumerous that what follows what can be hard to comprehend. But with this tutorial, I was able to make excellent progress.

Quick question for some reason I did it step by step but my rig isn't attached to the body what did I do wrong?

[CrowClouds]

I follow all the steps exactly but after parenting the mesh body to the rig, go into pose mode, move the rig and it is detached from the body. I did parent with automatic weights. Maybe I have to manual weight paint? I don't know

Ave tried for a couple hours now and I just cant do it.

[utkarshvishwakarma]

my model stretches it's mesh if dragged very much, how to stop/prevent that?

[JK-ybil]

Hey, its not working for me, I followed your steps and It seems to not move the character, when I try to pose the rig, any help?

[IKP]

Thank you, thank you! I've been trying to rig my basic character for days now, but every tutorial let me down at some point (I'm sure it was me letting myself down actually, but it's the same thing in the end: failure..) Following your superb tutorial, everything has worked perfectly. My character moves! And in a controlled way. I'm subbed.

Any problems with Ctrl + A? Make sure you are in layout tab with object mode on for the menu to appear!

Great tutorial!

[drspecter]

So, I followed the tutorial, and everything went fine until it was time to actually go to pose mode and move the character. When I click on a part of the rig, the cursor doesn't change to a little directional arrow, and I can't move the character. I can only select. I made sure 'auto run python' was ticked, and it is. I've hit a wall, and any help would be appreciated.

I got it to work. Took two hours just to make the rig, but it paid off. Thanks lol.

[Gambler_Airsoft]

I had got my character rigged but when I go to move the rigs around the character doesn't move.
