Thank you for these instructions. Parenting armor pieces in pose mode is way faster than I thought. Keep it up.

[@natsunwtk]

what if we have something like .. pants? tights? that's supposed to bend along with the legs or something like that. what should we do if we don't want to join them to the body?

[@colbyweaver8855]

Thanks a lot it worked for me

[@colbyweaver8855]

Glad it helped

[@OnigoroshiZero]

Great video, thank you. I also found great the one were you rig the under armor, it was really helpful to learn how to rig large flexible pieces.

[@TerrilliumV]

What should I do if i have a piece of armor that spans the whole arm?

[@colbyweaver8855]

Parent that armor piece to the armature with automatic weights. It should bend properly, however you might get some clipping problems. If so, you could try scaling the armor piece up a tad bit or tweaking the mesh in edit mode. You could also adjust the weight painting a bit if those two options don't fix it. Hope this helps

[@Rajveersingh-tx4ps]

But how to reset bones without making it go back to center world

[@colbyweaver8855]

I'm not sure, exactly. You'd probably have to move the entire character back to their previous position since the original position is at the world center. Hope this helps:)

@@colbyweaver8855 damn you right

[@Errorhead208]

Very helpful video. But is there a trick to wrap the armor perfectly around the basemesh so that nothing glitches through the armor or mesh?

[@colbyweaver8855]

You can try parenting the armor pieces to your armature with automatic weights. This will make it so that the armature will control the armor pieces and armor together.

Nice.
Off topic and out of curiosity, is that an imported stock asset?

However, the armor was made in my "Sci-fi Soldier" series.

@@colbyweaver8855 Cool, I won't be using it myself. Just wondered if you made it.
Thanks for the info though. And thank you for the helpful video!
