I congratulate you, very good explanation for newbies like me, I have been able to create the complete skeleton of a wolf that I am making in blender. I thank you very much for this video, keep it up
For those of you having issues with the eyelid controller rotations, just go to item and select roll. It will allow you to edit the rotation of the bone without aggravating auto rig pro too much
HiTodor, Congratulations of very interisting tutorials. They are very precious. You are asking for Ideeas of next courses. Just I think about coordinations of two or more rigs . For instance a pair of dancers or skaters who dance some for example tango with figures or rig of horse and jokey for a galop. you know coordination and synchronization rigs.
auto rig pro for a dinosaur like spinosoraus. you have videos about so many animals and i really appreciate that but dinosaurs are a little different. can there be video on that? keep up the amazing work!!!
@@CGDive if you are planning to do then do rigging on carnivores like t rex, spino, indoraptor, allosaurus in short 2 leg dinosaur with 2 hands not four legged dinos coz they can be similar to elephants or horses. Anyways i am fully excited and honestly you are doing a great job!!! Almost everyone who’s gonna learn rigging in blender is gonna remember the channel cgdive!!!
@@xdozgaming3496 Thanks! :) To be honest, I think people who've seem the videos about Quadrupeds have all the tools necessary to rig a t-rex... It's two legs, a spine, a head, a tail. But I am happy to do a specific video, as it seems to be a popular topic.
Hi, Thanks for these amazing tutorials. I do have a question though. I have followed every step until teeth fix, and came to find out that my seperate objects ( teeth, tongue, eyes)) do not have vertex groups. How do i proceed from here? I have tried to copy the vertex group from my body mesh, but they must have matching indices. Meaning they must be the same, but how can they be the same if they are seperate objects? Hopefully you could help with this error. Thanks again for sharing this knowledge. Keep up with this. You rock!
@@CGDive You got my sub. I'm really looking forward to the bird rig tutorial as well! I'm trying to rig a gryphon, so I need to combine the bird and dog rigs somehow...
@@ABentPaperclip Hmmm, if that is actually true, I would report it as a bug. The panel should be there whenever you have a mesh selected, regardless of any modes.
"should we not strive to have them at same places as the default dog-reference-rig?" Watch the dog video in the ARP playlist. There I explain my reasoning for how I place the leg bones. ruclips.net/p/PLdcL5aF8ZcJuHJFQgb4altQWs-RCKA7Bq
Ahhhh I'm still waiting for the advanced tutorial. It would be great to see you work on a character with long hair and something like a coat or long sleeves that need to be rigged.
@@CGDive All kinds of extra bits that droop over the body are troublesome for me so that would be incredibly nice. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a tutorial and I'll tryto figure it out myself in the meantime >.
@@Torirubobbi that's troublesome for most people, even pros. I should say the ARP doesn't have specific tools for clothing etc. So you'll need since understanding of manual rigging.
I saw that vedio... But you have so many dedicated rig vedio.... And I learnt it from here.... So how about making dedicated animation tutorial..... ; )
I can get as far as the bind skin, but when I select bind blender goes to 'not responding'. I left it for a few hours and nothing changed. Was wondering if there is a way to convert the unbound model and rig to maya
Hey! I'm a huge ARP fan, doing some tutorials myself and still I learned so much from yours. But I'm a bit confused about the leg setup in this video. First, you use the anatomically correct bone setup for the leg. And in the "fix" at the end you are redoing them to the actual bone setup ARP is using? Why even bother and not leave the ARP setup from the beginning?
Yeah, that was a bit confusing, I guess. For the front leg the anatomical set up works better (IMHO) so I did the same for the back leg. But later I realized that the default works better for the back leg :) I think if you watch my Dog video, it's much more streamlined. This one got a bit messy. I will check out your videos :)
I checked and you are right. Could be a bug. Select "c_eye_target.x", go to Bone Constraints and change the Bone field to "head.x". The eye control will fly away, so press Set Inverse on the constraint :) I'll ask the dev, looks like something that needs to be fixed.
auto rig pro is excellent but make a video for exporting the rigged character for future use I rigged a cat and exported but later on importing the character there was so much bones and very messy points it was so dissapointing explain everything in video so that i can use the rigged character on importing it with same control points i get after doing "match to rig" couldn't use the rigged character once I exited I didn't get control points too on importing it later please make a video about exporting rigged quadrupeds for future use in blender I searched a lot about it but didn't find any solution
Hi. Sorry but this is not clear at all :/ Exporting and importing to what? What do you mean by " for future use "? Do you mean appending/linking the character into another Blender scene, maybe?

@@pukarkoirala4264 OK, I think you posted on our discord and I explained it there but.. you don't use import/export to exchange Blender data. You just save as a Blend file. After that you can use File > Append to add the rig to another scene. I have a video about that. ruclips.net/video/nYNo1HuDtr8/видео.html

This series has been fantastic. Glad I bought the course. Can you do one on ARP's bird rig?
Yep, that's planted along with other chapters. Just have patience. :)
@@CGDive Yes, I too would love one on the bird rig - which terrifies me!

how do you get the list of bone weights shown at 21:38 while you're working on the teeth? looks very useful and isn't built-in to blender
Of course it is built-in. Just go to the Properties tab that looks like a Triangle (Data Properties) and look for Vertex Groups.
oh interesting, that panel only shows up for me if im in "tweak" mode, doesn't appear if you are in box select. learn something new every day!
@@ABentPaperclip Hmmm, if that is actually true, I would report it as a bug. The panel should be there whenever you have a mesh selected, regardless of any modes.

Yeah, insects could be an interesting subject. I'll consider it!
OK, thank you
Great 👍 Auto rig pro is very usefull and easy to use.
What a Very good Model!! I wanna know how to make fox's fur texture.... i have willingness to but Texture Tutorial
The model is from sketchfab sketchfab.com/3d-models/fox-215b317cabfa42c48fad08d8b9a8fb8d
Ох, как я этого ждал! Спасибо кстати за туториалы, очень помогли)
Very good video! When it comes to placement of the leg-bones, should we not strive to have them at same places as the default dog-reference-rig?
"should we not strive to have them at same places as the default dog-reference-rig?"
Watch the dog video in the ARP playlist. There I explain my reasoning for how I place the leg bones.

Amazing 😍
Excellent tutorial, Todor. I notice the Fox model is heavily triangulated at Sketchfab, whereas yours is quads.. did you do anything to convert it?
If you select all polygons and press alt+j, it de-triangulates the model. It's not perfect, but pretty good.
@@CGDive Yet ANOTHER blender feature I never knew about! Thanks. 😀 Thats gonna save some time!
Just finished this one to, very helpful! By the way whats the name of the addon to show the mouse commands on the right bottom of the screen?
Awesome! The a addon is Screencast keys. :)
How would you make a sitting pose with a rig like that, when the back bone box is lowering down the entire model insteand just the back part?
Move multiple controls?
Is there any way that I could rig the body part and then add the facial part later?
Cuz I just watched your Horse rigging video, and I turned off the facial part...
Sure, you can. You will have to add the weights for the face later.
I can get as far as the bind skin, but when I select bind blender goes to 'not responding'. I left it for a few hours and nothing changed. Was wondering if there is a way to convert the unbound model and rig to maya
No idea about converting to maya. Unless your model is crazy heavy, not responding issue should be fixable.
@@CGDive My model is quite heavy, but less than 100k since its meant to be quite detailed.

Will this work with spiders, scorpions, flying creatures, etc.? I can place and name bones myself, but rigging is such a pain.
watch the latest video in the series. I showed how to rig a spider quickly.
@@CGDive Thank you. I will.
any clue why the eye target is not following the head controller like it does on the human rig?!
I checked and you are right. Could be a bug. Select "c_eye_target.x", go to Bone Constraints and change the Bone field to "head.x". The eye control will fly away, so press Set Inverse on the constraint :)
