Hi Reza! I was just wondering why its important to create two joints at the ankle instead of connecting the shin bone directly to the ankle with one joint? I think perhaps there is something I didn't understand there.
Good question. Since this series of videos target the junior artists this method allows for easier tweaks during the control setup and 'reverse foot lock'. In my intermediate course mu approach is different of course
Hi, thank you for your comment! In reality, there’s no strict rule as long as you understand what you’re doing, especially in a technical process like rigging. If you’re referring to end bones in this example, there are times when we simply orient them. However, in this case, you’ll notice that we’re not going to skin them, so it’s fine.
Another question which I sadly was not able to find an answer to ~ it seems I am unable to create IK joint handles by clicking through the outliner? When following your instructions I just had to go through the viewport.
would love to follow the tutorials, as they seem really good, but without an explanation on joint orientation, I am completely lost after getting to the legs. Everything is very detailed and comprehensive, but the joint orientation affects a lot of the IK and skinning parts. Had to basically start from zero a couple of times after noticing that, without understanding that, the rest cannot work properly. Do you have a tutorial on that?
@@sarkamari the tutorial is amazing tho. no complaint there :) Is that, after skinning and putting the weights, I noticed there had been no explination on how to fix the orientation.
Fir the skeleton part the only area that requires attention is the ankle joint (at the beginners level of course). As long as you don't rotate the joint (and use orient joint instead) you should be fine.
Hello, Hope that you're doing well. For the rigging, which option is better : quick rigg, rigg manually, using advanced skeleton or are there more practical methodes ? Thank you for the feed back.
Depends what your model is for. Quick rig and advanced skeletons typically will only be used as backups when you can't/don't want to do a proper rig, but will still require skinning in most cases
this is an strange behavior but ill write it just in case someone is having the same problem. When i generated the ik handle in perspective view the values of the pole/mechanism were a bit off it got fixed when i generate it(IK handle) locked in the front view.
Dear Sarkamari san i have a question why you make "Jnt_end_L_ankle01" and "Jnt_l_ankle01". is there any special purpose to make two skeleton and parent it? as usual people will use only one skeleton complete this portion. thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏

Hi You really don’t need the scene to follow along as the focus is mainly on the workflow but if you ever want to support the channel then yes you will have access to almost ALL the scene files on the channel :) Glad you found the rigging tutorials useful
We appreciate..........but can you please make an Intermediate to advance facial rig system for animation, like sticky lips, fleshy eyes, squash and stretchy head, so on and also rigging with the teeth and tongue thanks
you have selected the whole body in starting including his clothes & hair as well.. so are we rigging them altogether?? Plus if I take a different character of my own & if its clothes and hairs are separate from the body, do I need to add the whole character on the display layer or the only body part?
His model have only four meshes. Two for the eyes, the hair and the other one is the whole body. The model doesn't have clothes. When the skinning is finished it would be pretty much the hair and eyes following the "head" (part of the whole body mesh). About the second question, I'm not a specialist, but I'm pretty sure it DEPENDS. If your character won't change clothes at all, should be wise to rig body and clothes altogether. If the clothes and the body are separate, I don't know how it's done.
hey there! i've ran into an issue when binding the skin to the eyes, i've followed what you've done and chosen the same settings, but when i bind my joint to one of the eyes, when i go to rotate that joint, it moves both of the eyes, even though i've only binded one, any suggestions? thanks!
I like this tuto thank you, but just to say that you will need the wrist named: ''wrist'' without the ''end'' name in the naming, because you will need it in your binding selection. When come the time to weight paint.
I tried learning rigging following a blender tutorial,. and I just failed,. I blame the software, everything is unintuitive and overcomplicated and too many steps to do a simple task, and control garbage. Is maya better to use?

this serie is goldmine thank you ! thank you thank you !
I've been needed to reteach myself rigging. This is going to help a lot! Thanks!
Hope you find the series useful. I also have an intermediate playlist on the channel in case you're not new to the topic. Best of luck
Best rigging tutorial! thank you so much. thanks to your very calm voice, all rigging is less stressing 😅
Iam glad to hear this ❤️
very informative and very kind step we learn rigging from here very easy and industry standard....
Very helpful tutorial, (full beginner here) Thank you!
Great to hear 😊
Usually see the same bones chain down the leg etc, instead of overlapping joints. Would there not be a performance hit in games?
Amazing lesson Sarkamari💯🙏

@@sarkamari Thank you so much! That definitely answered my question :)
It's just 2 days in Maya I started rigging and my brain feels like i am trying to achieve 10D in universe.
Hope that is a good thing
@@sarkamari man I am literally crying 😪it's soo tough.
Hang in there. Practice will make it easier
Ll@@sarkamari
Im new to this but are you not supposed to freeze transforms before skinning? again im quite new please tell me if im wrong

Use the viewport to select the joints if you run into any glitches.

Hi Nekoni;
I may put together a brief tutorial on how to use constraints as they play a massive role in rigging. Thank you for your warm feedback
@@sarkamari the tutorial is amazing tho. no complaint there :)

Have a nice day.

I have a question and it is about why you don't do the FK on the legs??🤔🤔
I do. But not in this series. For beginners it’s a lot easier to start with IK setup.
Check out my intermediate playlist for IK/FK right
Dear Sarkamari san
i have a question why you make "Jnt_end_L_ankle01" and "Jnt_l_ankle01".
is there any special purpose to make two skeleton and parent it?
as usual people will use only one skeleton complete this portion.
thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏
For beginners, it’s simpler not to worry too much about joint orientation. In fact, I skip it entirely in my intermediate playlist!

Is it important to know drawing for rigging?
Drawing ❌
Anatomy and shapes ✅
How do download this model
We appreciate..........but can you please make an Intermediate to advance facial rig system for animation, like sticky lips, fleshy eyes, squash and stretchy head, so on

sure. it's already on my list :)
my request is too same

Double check that indeed one eye is parented and check skin weights.
thanks for your information🥰
I like this tuto thank you, but just to say that you will need the wrist named: ''wrist'' without the ''end'' name in the naming, because you will need it in your binding selection. When come the time to weight paint.
good catch !
kindly clear one thing: are we involving clothes also in rigging?
Yes . The cloth is the one that gets skinned to the bones. There’s no body Geo underneath
when i try to mirror the arm i get an error message "too many arguments. expected 1, found: 0"; mirroring the legs worked just fine
nvm it works now

Is maya better to use?
Each app has their own merits.
I work at Disney and Maya is the main software for rigging hence this tutorial. Hope you find this useful
@@sarkamari but is there platforms ion case I need help wtih this:?
Thanks a lot sir😊
