One nice tip when rigging is to turn on volume snap, enable closest, and turn on snap peel object, that makes it so your bones snap to the center volume saving loads of time
i want to point out that if you don't want to use the weightpaint brush to go in and out of big areas like your head mesh, you can actually just go Edit Mode, x-ray button, use C circle to select the entire head, then use the right panel to instantly make it 1.0 weightpaint strength. you can do this method with any body part that you really hate painting, then you care about gradient with your weightpainting mode brush afterwards.
A little tip I've learned, I use spring bones for da boubah and I dont attatch it to the main armature. for the new jiggle vertex groups you have to manually add in those weight maps to each object from the jiggle armature. Its weird but selective weight mapping requires you to select the weight mesh (you make this by duplicating the base mesh and all other vertex groups except jiggle groups) then selecting the meshe you want to transfer weight data to. This requires you select both the same vertex groups from both meshes. Im unsure if it works on multiple meshes. Like normal baking, even if the mesh doesnt conform perfectly to the base blender will do its best to transfer the data properly and usually it does. So im able to use empties to parent rigs to and then parent the extra rigs to the main armature without really combining the rigs together. The jiggle rig in this case will follow the empty and it will follow the main amrature because the empty that connects it, also follows the main rig. Its useful when you use a premade rig for a base like DAZ3d and you dont want to mess with the main rigs base properties by accident. You can always just add another armature modifier, but you cant go back from goobering the weight mapping for your base mesh.
This is so well timed. I just finished modeling a character, and this rigging process, albeit not new to me is hard to remember after months of not doing it. I love the physics added by the Wiggle 2 addon. I had the first one, but didn't know there was an update. Thanks for the links and video!
3:33 one tip to help with this is using the magnet tool(sorry idk the actual name) and set it to volume. it puts them in the midel of the part of the mesh
regarding the symetrize bug on chest part that you mentioned. after giving the weights to the breast bone and substracting other bone influence in the breast area, you need to select the bones and select "weight > clean" tools if i remember correctly . that way it will clean up all 0 influence bones from the vertex in breast area. that way, when you use the blur brush, it only recalculate the weights on the bone group that you assign the weights only. because in blender, when using substract brush, it only set the bone influence into 0 but not remove the bone group from the vertex. that's why when you use the blur brush those 0 influence bone group get some weight after using the blur brush
Thanks for the tutorial. By the way, if you are using blender 4.0 and want to select the bone in weight painter mode, you need to click bones with "Ctrl+Shift+LMB".
This was such a helpful tutorial with all the amazing information in such a short time. Neatly written summary looks just like a renaissance painting (*chef kiss*). Thank you so much!
Joining armatures problem: When doing the armature for the skirt, don't forget to rename the first bone to something else like skirt so you make sure there are no bones called the same when joining both armatures, otherwise the weight paint may not affect you mesh and It'll just be there static. Hope this helps
actually in getting rid of those verts sometimes you run into the issue of having more verts that originally planned. I like to do a simple boolean union. that way you can still have all the riggable topology with less verts.
I previously ran into issues rigging. If you find the seperate objects moving but not move with the appropriate bones. Check your modifiers. I am not entirely sure how this happened but I had armature modifiers set to the objects. Simply delete then parent the seperate objects appropriately
A good rip when doing the hands, hair and the skirt. When you adjust the rotsrion of the tip, the last bone. Select the whole string and do "recalculate bone roll". That way you get much better transformations and save tou tons of adjustment on each individual bone
I can't get this to work. Once I've set Parent -> With Automatic Weights, I cannot get the bones to move at all in pose mode, it's just drawing a box for me to select bones.
Hey man. Currently finished my rig to a character I’m trying to create. Mostly everything turned out great, EXCEPT my facial rig. I swear i placed everything in the right place, yet I realized when h generate my rig, the lips get placed where my nose is? I dunno how to fix this and he’s been frustrating be. So thank you for your reassurance that you use shape keys. I’ve been thinking if using it too, so will hope it works!
appreciate all the tutorials you put out man. do you have any plans on releasing that foot tutorial anytime soon? would like a nice, no nonsense method of modelling feet the same way you demonstrated with hands.
Ow didnt know there is a wigfle v2. I did some work on wiggle v1. Made it easier to work with. Being able to save presets and a couple more stuff. Definitely going to check iut this version
To be honest, what was wrong with the bang before you started destroying the edgeflow. It was that high poly and the outcome after the remesu and decimate is just a mess. What was actually the purpose, because the difference in polys isn't that big. You could easily have lowered the edge rings to get a better result
when i joined the hair armature to the body armature, the hair didn´t move, it took me half an hour to understand that in armature modifier of the hair mesh i had to attach the body armature in object
Why is my hair clipping the mesh of other hair strands and my face? Using wiggle 2. How to fix? I have the latest version of stable blender and wiggle 2.
Great vid! always love your stuff 2! I am curious about eye bones however? Don't you need to rig the eyes so that they can be controlled in unity? I've seen this done in another tutorial by Mako and wanted to make sure.
Unity has support for eye bones as well as shape keys/blendshapes. I've mainly only been working with shape keys - yes this can still be controlled in Unity without the traditional rigging.
@@2amgoodnight huh so you can do all shapekeys or rigged eyes? That's really cool! Are there any noticeable pros to doing one over the other? Like better tracking etc? Is using rigged eyes alongside shapekeys a thing? Or is that just over complicating things for no reason?
@@maxdot93 you would be using one or the other. Afaik shape key tracking is just as good especially if you use ARKit blendshapes. It would also depend on your use case, importing into Unity as a game char or for VR purposes?
@@2amgoodnight So for this instance I would say VR purposes like Vtubing and VRchat etc. I see, that's good to know! So what would be the purpose behind rigging the eyes and then doing blendshapes for the face? is it just personal preference to assist in the creation of eye blendshapes? Also, how many blendshapes are for facial movements and how many are left over for fun custom expressions with effects? This is all very interesting to me so apologies for the inquisition :P
@@maxdot93 Sorry not clear of the first question. Usually if you're going blendshapes route it will be both for eyes and face. In terms of how many eye blendshapes, you can go as little as 5 (up down left right + blink) or go the ARKIT route which has an exact number (around 50ish including full face). Custom face expressions can be as many as you want.
Hello, thank you for the tips in this amazing video I was searching how to rig a skirt or a bigger dress which is not close to bone. But also wanted to ask you, why don't you use rigify Rig. Is it not better for animations?
@@naiknaik8812 thats awesome because for example morphers in some softwares has that limitation that the model need to be perfectly symmetrical and is so annoying.

As an animator, really appreciate the effort in your video 🔥 great job.
On the mirror weight paint failing, there’s a “respect topology” (or similarly named” button, it will fix the mirror weight painting.
