    I made the mistake of trying to follow along to the video the very first time I opened Blender and got discouraged, but instead of giving up I paused at each stage when I didn't understand a particular concept or function of what you were doing and looked up each individual part, and eventually was able to gain enough knowledge to follow through the whole thing. Thanks for making this video, out of everything I've watched so far for Blender and other animation options, you've been the most informative and have greatly propelled me forward in my proof of concept phase, and I think I'll be sticking with Blender as a result.

    For anyone who wants to adjust the finger rig: CGDive has a short tutorial.
    TL;DW: The middle bone in each finger on the metarig (with .02 in the name) needs to be moved up the Z axis just a little bit, then re-generate the rig. Fixes the bend angles instantly.
    Basically, the rig needs a natural curvature so it knows what direction you want it to bend.

    I've been following this step by step a few times to try and get set up. I want to use mixamo animations but even after I convert to a mixamo rig (which is fine for me, I tink the rigify is a bit much at the moment) I try and import a mixamo fbx animation, source it to my rig but nothing happens except the roller controls for the arms and legs follow the animation away from the body X'D I did get other stuff to work by following this though and it's so good, thank you for your help!

    • @ArtificialLight
      @ArtificialLight  Před rokem +3

      yeah that happens sometimes I'm not sure why... i think sometimes the position of both models matters you should keep them on world origin. it could be mixamo model as well you can try exporting your model as fbx and use that on mixmao and see what happens

I'll try doing that but I was hoping to download a bunch of animation so I don't have to keep uploading him and downloading him to create something. I'll definitely keep fiddling with it though I'm glad it's not me. I also did keep the downloaded animation on the world origin and I also tried moving it, it was just weird how we would only take certain controls from the rig and move it.

    • @damidraws_vt
      @damidraws_vt Před 11 měsíci

      I figured it out. I rename and roll the bones then dup the armature, I turn my current mature into a mixamo ik rig with the mixamo add on and then import animation, create bone list with the copy in rokoko and target the copy with the animation then go back to mixamo and use the copy and target that onto the ik rig. It's annoying with the extra steps but it works!

    There's an add-on for Mixamo compatibility with Vroid models? My approach has always just been to use a blank model with the same proportions as the active model to create a Mixamo rig, and then just use the weight paint transfer to automatically move the rig over to my full model (and then re-attach the hair and clothing bones afterwards, its tedious and probably more work than its worth I'll admit.)
    Interesting to see someone else who also follows a Vroid -> Blender workflow.

  • @YMStudio80

    • @ArtificialLight

      quad thing shouldn't affect that. I've heard people have similar problem using vrm 1.0 instead of vrm 0 or vise versa so try that i guess.

    @Deuterium51614 Před rokem

    Awesome tutorial, subscribed!
    Quick question though: I'm trying to export my model as an FBX, and reimport it into a different Blender file (I want to pose two or more characters together). However, the FBX doesn't keep the custom bone shapes, and instead reverts them back to the Octahedral bones?
    So for example, the model's head bone changes from a circle to a bone with a head and tail. When this happens, the model doesn't move in Pose Mode.
    Any tips? Thanks in advance!

    • @ArtificialLight
      @ArtificialLight  Před rokem

      yeah that's just how it works. don't bother exporting fbx if you're just going to reimport it back to blender just put everything in a collection and append or straight up copy paste it

    I dont know if im the only one with this problem, but when i generate the rig there are problems with mesh deformations, i checked weight paint too and it shouldnt be a problem.
    This only happens with the right arm for some reason.
    It doesnt happen when i generate mixamo rig tho, its a rigify problem.

    Hello!! For some reason my limit contraints don't work :( I can't figure out why, and I'm not a complete newbie in blender (though I barely know anything about armature)
    I am in local space, I have applied affect transformation... But also for some reason it's not only affecting the eye, but the whole skeleton. And When I try to copy constraints, ti's just saying I can't because there's no active bones with restraints.

    • @ArtificialLight

      oh you probably did it in "object constraint" you have to do it in "bone constraint". it's a pretty common mistake since they both look identical xD

      ​@@ArtificialLight Ok I'm embarrassed again 💀 For some reason, my right eye is perfectly fine when moving in X (And all other directions) but my left eye is going absolutely crazy? It goes diagonally up instead of straight up, while the Z is working as normal. I don't know what happened lmao
      Any reason on why this happens?

    • @ArtificialLight
      @ArtificialLight  Před 6 měsíci +1

      ​hmm copying constraints is kinda confusing tbf. make sure everything is same in both of them and the Z values are swapped (8:30).
      or you can just remove the constraints and set them up manually.
