This parent option will use the bone names from the Armature (Skeleton) and automatically add them as empty Vertex Groups on the Mesh Object. If you are confused about Vertex Groups, scroll down to What is the purpose of Vertex Groups? This is good if you want to manually add only a few Vertex Groups (Bone Vertex Groups) to your Mesh Object for Weight Painting. Vertex Groups (Bone Vertex Groups) are not created automatically for all your bones, with this option. The purpose of the Armature Modifier is to sync the bone names of the Armature Object with the Vertex Groups of the Mesh Object. This parent option adds an Armature Modifier which allows deformation to your Mesh Object. This is a basic parent option without any deformation to the Mesh Object. Select children first, then select the parent last. In Blender, you parent the Mesh Object to the Armature Object, then you can continue with the Weighting or Weight Painting process (explained later). Wherever the Skeleton moves, the 3D model follows. Here are different types of Objects you may encounter in Blender:Ī rigged 3D character model contains 2 essential things:
If you plan to use Rigify's Generate Rig function, make sure to disable the MMD Tools add-on before using the Rigify armature.įor beginners, I recommend starting with rigging character models that don't have face bones, like a masked character:Īfter you've mastered the basic body rigging, you can then move on to Face Rigging. If you have MMD Tools add-on active, it will conflict with Rigify's Generate Rig functionality. It's a little old, but the tips are still applicable to the current version of Rigify. If you plan on rigging with the Rigify add-on, make sure you are familiar with the Bone Positioning Guide here: Workaround: After adjusting the brush values ( Weight, Radius, or Strength), switch to a different paint brush ( Add, Subtract, Mix, etc.), and then switch back to your previous paint brush. There is a known bug in Blender that occurs when attempting to Undo ( CTRL+ Z) in Weight Paint mode or Sculpt mode. If the Gfycat demos are too fast, you can right click them to change speed.
