How to rig this kind of characters and i cant able to generate the rig


i cant able to generate rig to this character that i gor it from sketch fab


im getting these kind of errors when rigging

Let me start off by saying, I donā€™t use rigify, but I have toyed with it a bit.

I think your problem is with how you adjusted the meta rig to fit your character. Look at your 2nd screenshot, at the upper left leg, notice how the tail of that bone is offset from the tip of the hip bone? Look at the upper right leg bone and how itā€™s connected to the hip bone. I think thatā€™s the problem.

Iā€™ve seen that error before, and I think itā€™s caused by moving the tail of one bone without moving the tip of the bone itā€™s connected to. You have to move both the tail of one bone and the tip of the other bone together.

Try this in your second screenshot file - select the tip of the left hip bone, then shift S ā†’ cursor to selected. Then select the tail of the left upper leg bone and shift - S ā†’ selection to cursor. I think that should correct the ā€˜disjointā€™ problem and you will be able to generate the rig.

If this doesnā€™t work, post up the .blend file.

BTW - Open a console window in blender and check for additional error messages

when i generate the rig now its smaller than the character is it normal ? and i should scale em same as the character right ?

and also when i move the character with the rig some of the character elements are getting separated

help me to rig this character ? :frowning:

No, the generated rig should be exactly the same size as the metarig. Thatā€™s what the metarig is for, size it to your character, then generate the real rig and it will match the size of the metarig. I can see what looks to be the metarig in your screenshot, so I donā€™t know why the generated one is smaller.

I tried to download your file to look at it, but I need a dropbox account to be able to get the file. I think most users around here use https://wetransfer.com/ to share files. If you have an android device (phone) then there is a google drive account for that device that you could use too.

Solve one problem at a time, letā€™s get the rig generation to work first.

This is normal, they are different elements for IK and FK, FK is disabled by default

Just select your meta-rig and make sure its scale value is ā€˜1ā€™, if not Ctrl+A on the rig and apply scale (In object mode)

here the model blend file try to rig em for me ?

oh okay lemme check

Wrong link, that just opens the sign in pageā€¦
:frowning:

Randy

Try applying scale to your metarig.

And your drive link is set to need to ask permission to download. If you switch it to ā€œanyone with linkā€ itā€™s going to be easier for people to look at it.

No lie, I like rigging things, when I get back home Iā€™ll rig it for you and Iā€™ll make a video of me doing it, how about that?
If you would still like this service give me a like pls

I should probably update my pfp tbh

But to help out, you could look at a previously made riggify metarig straight out of the box.
Dont forget to update your bone data.

I have used riggify for a while and have solved most of these problems, some required weight painting.

ok check the link now

Lol, started a while ago, now I have to do some tweaking in the Weight Painting, which rig would you prefer?

Rigify


This is the one where Iā€™d have to do weight painting

or

Auto Rig Pro


If auto rig pro, Iā€™d have to do less work, but Iā€™d need you to install an addon in order for you to work it

do the best and easiest one , can u recording the process for me ?

No prob, I want to make sure Iā€™m getting what youā€™d like before I make a video about it, these were kinda rough drafts.

Would you like a time lapse?

I could also record a basic walk cycle, I literally have no problem helping you learn how to do these things
