Oh that's a nice little detail I wish I'd added. Thanks for pointing it out. I thought you were gonna tell me glocks have no hammers like everyone else lol.
although this was sped up, it helped me SO much in understanding the workflow of modeling and rigging a gun, like which parts I actually need to model and dont need to such as the barrel.
This was a wonderful tutorial! I was worried about getting to the animation part because I was afraid it was going to be super complicated, so I really appreciate this tutorial making everything easy to understand
You know, this video has over 100 comments, and I think 80% of them are teaching me about the glock hammer lol. Hope you found some value in the video anyway :)
THANK YOU TVTIG. I've been trying to get into modeling, rigging, and animating by making my own Ravenfield mod, but all of the tutorials for it may as well have been made in 1983 for how out of date they are. After several days of scrubbing through long-winded, confusing tutorials with bad mics and hard-to-follow instructions, it's so nice to come across a tutorial that's as well put together as this one is. Rigging makes sense now! I'm looking forward to see what you come out with next.
Top Man! My opinion carries no weight but if you're like me and need a quick and easy-to-follow summary about rigging then this video (^) is the one. Great job Tvtig!
hey man, i got to this video recently, but if you see this i gotta tell you this: glock does not have visible hammer (the thing in the back of the slide) it has integrated hammer, just lil tip, otherwise its great model
Ah you’re welcome, I struggled with it for a while too. Then I realised, real life objects are often made up of many different parts, let’s just model them individually!
Awesome video! Quck question, I am trying to do the procedure you taught at 9:25, but when I try to edit the two bones my "keep offset" option is greyed out. Any ideas as to why this is happening?
When I was animating the rigged gun it created an action for each one of the bones instead of one action for every bones. What could be the issue? I am adding a single bone, duplicating it and parenting each part of the gun to the bones accordingly then I parent the other bones to the base bone just like you did but you got a single action for animating every bones edit: alright nvm I was duplicating in object mode instead of edit mode
11:23 "pay attention to the mechanism of the thing you are modeling" he says whilst animating an external hammer on a _glock_ after childing it to the slide. Glocks dont have external hammers. Cool tutorial otherwise
Just for clarification but if you do not plan on doing recoil on the gun animation but rather with the character itself is the bone on the handle of the gun necessary???
To be honest, I've been thinking about this and can't think of a good answer other than, I just prefer the structure of working with bones rather than individual objects. Great question though, if you ever find a better reason, please share it with me!
i tried to animate without bones and it blew. every time i tried to rotate the gun it would animate each part rotating by itself, so the slide and the magazine and everything were clipping through each other and shit
@@bruhman5829 Interesting, so you think parenting needs to be handled differently when animating without bones? Or do you have to consider World Rotation and Local Rotation?
at 10:54 I hit rotation and location, but what do you do at the bottom to make the two points connect into one? I have the starting point, and the trigger pulled point, how do you smooth the transition between the two points like that?
Ok so i did basically the same thing with a pre prepared model that i rigged (not made by me), but when i go to the dope sheet and then the action editor everytime i insert the keyframe for all the bones and select one of them, it changes the action from "shoot" to , say "Bone_BaseAction.001". PLEASE HELP.
Absolutly amazing video taught me alot. however i cant over look the fact you put a hammer on a glock when glocks dont have exposed hammers lmao. (Sorry for taking the piss)
I didn’t read the comments to see if anyone noticed this, but it seems like the mechanism that spits out the shells is on the left side instead of the right side which I don’t know how many guns do that
Here I don't understand where is the collection of the gun gone and if I need to add an armature and just copy bones or should I have separate armatures? Since I'm rigging a revolver how do I make a constraint to rotate the cylinder in place?
very small nitpick that im sure someone else has already mentioned but a glock like the one you are modeling does not have a hammer. (maybe you just added it for tutorial purposes)? great tutorial though
Bro I don't know if your still here but my bones aren't linking up to my mesh, when I try to parent them in pose mode the armature still moves on its own without the mesh.
@@ALFONICNo,use weights with empty groups,make and name parts of the gun as vertex groups,such as Body,magazine,charge handle,and then assign those parts of the gun in edit mode to the vertex groups.Make an armature,add one bone for each part,then name the bones exactly the same as the parts they will be controlling,for instance The bone for the magazine should be named “magazine” or whatever you named the vertex group.Then in object mode parent the gun to the armature with empty groups.
I suppose.. It depends on what your end goal is. But in most animation software rigs are the standard, its even easier to work with rigs in Unities built in animation system.
Im having trouble with pairing the bones together to make parent bones. when i click the child bone first then the parent bone and press ctrl+p the keep offset isnt selectable. reply if you can help me with this on discord
in unity for some reason animations dont work but work in blender (i watched a lot of tutorials on how to apply animations and i tried using a model from mixedo and it worked but my animation dont work any ideas?
Awsome.idk If you take fan suggestions for either SFM or Blender but using the Kenny season 2 model from the walking dead could plz do a short fist fighting punching kicking slamming elbowing kneeing slamming into objects short combat animation of Kenny absolutely destroying zombies in combat animation. Search up Kenny player model and NPC in the steam workshop.😁
at 3:53 bro started loosing his mind for a second P.s. there is no hammer on a Glock pistol. Taking into account that "you've watched 10 videos" i can assume that you've made it on purpose.
you did watch 10 people watch shooting guns... and didnt realise that the glock you modeling is striker fired and doesnt have a hammer at the back at all? 😆
Great thing about RUclips is - you can choose not to watch content you don’t like! You can even dislike videos and block entire channels from your feed :). Have a great day!
Hey Guys - You can find the blend file below, also please don't forget to leave a like if you enjoyed the video :)
github.com/Tvtig/PropLibrary
Tip- Apply values before starting animating
Btw, when glocks are fired the barrel arches up a bit for the next round to enter
Oh that's a nice little detail I wish I'd added. Thanks for pointing it out. I thought you were gonna tell me glocks have no hammers like everyone else lol.
@@Tvtig lol
most hand guns chambered in 9mm and .45 acp have this feature
And a glock is striker fire doesnt have hamer but good to see how this is done why we watch the video
@@JacquesDigital927 agreed
although this was sped up, it helped me SO much in understanding the workflow of modeling and rigging a gun, like which parts I actually need to model and dont need to such as the barrel.
I'm really glad you found it useful!
You need the barrel on a weapon model. How do you expect it to shoot?
This was a wonderful tutorial! I was worried about getting to the animation part because I was afraid it was going to be super complicated, so I really appreciate this tutorial making everything easy to understand
Thank you, that was much easier than I expected. I dreaded trying to rig and animate, but at least for mechanical things its grand!
Great job, not sure if you knew this or not but a glock does not have an exposed hammer, thanks for making this, had no idea how this process worked.
Ah thanks man, many people have let me know in this comment section that I have indeed created a new, triggering variant of the glock haha.
This video was probably the most helpful blender video I've ever seen, I come back to this every month or so when I forget something lol
This genuinely warmed my heart to read. I'm glad you found it useful!
Blender is such a wholesome community, your are both awesome. Subscribed 💪
14:21 don't forget to what? DON'T FORGET TO WHAT!?
8:17 bro glocks do not have a hammer. They have a striker inside them. Same thing with every other gun that doesn't have a hammer on the outside.
You know, this video has over 100 comments, and I think 80% of them are teaching me about the glock hammer lol. Hope you found some value in the video anyway :)

simple and usefull , no stupid complex ways that took a whole day to understand
My man also invented a new Glock model. Great tutorial by the way.
Lol gotta keep innovating. I have no regrets about my external hammer Glock haha
Oh no lmao the cursed HAMMER on A GLOCK...
OH NO! lol
bro does more reaserch into gun function than most tripple A game studios.
the rigging process here is a godsend, I keep coming back because I keep forgetting how to properly set up bones and all
So glad you found it useful.
thanks, i had no idea why my arms werent moving with my character; your video helped me understand I had to parent the main bone :)

Thanks for the advice man - haha, a few people in the comments have let me know that I don't know how glocks work!
Thank you! this basically taught me rigging, i use this a lot!
To be honest, even I come back to this video when I’m trying to rig stuff haha. I’m glad you found it useful though!
@@Tvtig it's crazy how good it is. i've barely ever used blender and was able to rig my gun first try. You did a great job
glocks dont have hammers and you added a hammer at the back...
my eyes are burning
Lol - I’m sorry I offended your eyes with my lack of education. I wouldn’t have even been able to tell you that this was a glock.
thank you!! i was so confused on how to split the model up!
Ah you’re welcome, I struggled with it for a while too. Then I realised, real life objects are often made up of many different parts, let’s just model them individually!
at lik3 3:58 I cant get a circle to get put in the cube with the knife thing. am I doing something wrong or do i need a specific addon?
hey bro great tutorial dude and i know it says unity but any chance you know how to get it all working in ue5??
Awesome video! Quck question, I am trying to do the procedure you taught at 9:25, but when I try to edit the two bones my "keep offset" option is greyed out. Any ideas as to why this is happening?
Actually, I think this video (ruclips.net/video/ZO4kqD3BMkA/видео.html) shows another way to do the same thing at 4:38?
Thank you so much for keeping it smooth and simple!
What the establishment fears most: the glock with a hammer. Great tutorial btw you're very talentedm
Thanks man, coming up with my own variants of guns is indeed a special talent lol
dude thank you so much this tutorial was amazing
Man, a glock with a hammer at the back just looks so wrong
just need the lower part
Could you export blender bones to unreal as well?
Glock with a hammer ? Yankee with no brim ?!

Why can't I select keep offset
Me too
Just for clarification but if you do not plan on doing recoil on the gun animation but rather with the character itself is the bone on the handle of the gun necessary???
Nice tutorial! I just like to know why is it important to use bones and not just simple keyframest for animation?
To be honest, I've been thinking about this and can't think of a good answer other than, I just prefer the structure of working with bones rather than individual objects. Great question though, if you ever find a better reason, please share it with me!

Yo! I just duplicate the first key frame with shift + d to keep it in place for a few frames.
( the pistol displayed as the reference image has an internal hammer)

PLEASE HELP.
I have the same issue
at 12:31 you skip what seems to be a very important step which is stopping me from exporting the animations
Great video but Glock with a hammer is going to haunt me in my sleep tonight.
I call it the hammer of Glock.
So you would much like in irl, split the model in to upper lower or in the case of pistols, frame and slide?
Yes! Especially for the purposes of animation, you would need different parts that you can move around.
Dont forget to~
You watched till th
Cool, but Glock does not have cock hammer outside the casing :D
It really helps to go on the range and do some shooting practice with real one
Very well! I like here to help too! Congratulations !

yo dude, is the vertex group not important? wanted to join discord n ask but link is down tho, thanks in advance
for some reason it deletes parts of my gun when i add it to a bone, how can i fix this?
This is underrated content
No you!
hey i was wondering what did you press and or use to make the model to be fully transparent? I can't seem to find it myself
Hey there - Alt+z enters x-ray mode. The icon is in the top right hand corner of the screen, looks like two squares overlapping each other.
@@Tvtig thanks!
Bro I don't know if your still here but my bones aren't linking up to my mesh, when I try to parent them in pose mode the armature still moves on its own without the mesh.
Never mind, I had to parent it with automatic weights, instead I was doing it without any weights lol, thanksfor the video!

can rigging be skipped for a simple weapon like this?
I suppose.. It depends on what your end goal is. But in most animation software rigs are the standard, its even easier to work with rigs in Unities built in animation system.
glock with hammer. EEEUUUUUH BROTHER EEEEUHH
It is a variant of the original Glock called the Glammer.
Im having trouble with pairing the bones together to make parent bones. when i click the child bone first then the parent bone and press ctrl+p the keep offset isnt selectable. reply if you can help me with this on discord
this is amazing with i knew how to do stuff like cut a hole in a model with another model... P.S. Hammer Fired glock wtf
Man I feel your pain when you were modeling slide with barrel with all those failed boolean attempts!
Bro - even though it was a few months ago, I still remember how frustrated I got modelling that part haha!
@@Tvtig dont even get me started. took me days of failed attempts on the barrel to figure why it kept failing everytime!
Uhhh... glocks dont have a hammer on the outside last time i remember.
Oh no!
9:23 This just doesn’t work. The options appear blurred out for me.
Make sure you select the armature in object mode and then switch to edit mode before doing the parenting.
still doesnt work@@Tvtig
DAMN HELL. I spent 1 week trying to rig my gun and now thanks to yo0u it worked
Haha I'm glad I could help man!
4 seconds into riging and I cant even add a bone...
for some reason it never gives me the option for single bone did blender do a update that changed the armatures or something?
in unity for some reason animations dont work but work in blender (i watched a lot of tutorials on how to apply animations and i tried using a model from mixedo and it worked but my animation dont work any ideas?
how do i delete actions in the action editor?
In the scene collection view, switch to the blender file view, and you can delete the action permanently from there. Not sure why it's so convoluted.
do blender and godot next
I might just do that!
@@Tvtig nice
what happens if crlt p doesnt work in edit mode with both bones
You can get there from the object menu too! docs.blender.org/manual/en/2.79/editors/3dview/object/properties/relations/parents.html
this vid is the easiest animating and bone tutorial for blender lol
for some odd reason the keep offset is not working for me
Same how do you fix it
figured it out. its because i duplicated the armatures instead of adding bones. there should be one armature then rest are bones
Really good video.
my gun seems to stretch when rotating or moving, any idea why?
glock with hammer because yes
W
why did you add a hammer to a glock lol
