Cinema 4d Full Human Character Rigging with Controls and Weighting Tutorial

this is a model that I created and making it supposed to be the hot topic right now the UM Gotham Jean in amber Geiger deal that's going on right now although this is just the supposed to be my version of a 3d model of amber Geiger so let you see this model here you see you didn't render it's just in my version I'm sure you guys can do a lot better than that it's a little closer look at her all right so there you go um now we can look at the demisch see what type of mesh we working with with this character so you guys can get a good idea of what we want to be doing today what we working with everything's working with let's take a look at the hands okay and let's take a look at the geometry all right so um but we have and I see we're gonna be working with the way I got this thing all set up well I got some lights in the scene well the character just to give the character some light back I got those off that those way you won't see the renders here you sum of three lights in my scene we don't need to see those lines um and my lights and I also have a belt that's gonna go let's play character and we're gonna get into this later we're gonna show you how attached is built to the to the character so you can have an idea of how to attach other objects to your character okay and also we have we have our mesh we have the camera the shoes okay okay we got our shoes here all right and we got our clothing right my pants here this is all you know just one piece but we can easily divide that up if you want to I select in just the shirt or the pants and that tool will be to help you out is the other feel selection tool here it's a very great tool for when you want to you know break things up and select objects as a whole you know those seven or eight objects so yeah that's a good two leaves for that and also we have the characters eyelashes I'm gonna show those eyelashes okay and we got there we had our eyebrows here okay and we also have our eyes and yet our characters here okay and then the skin and I got this set up is all on one piece scan will be the arms the head and the ankles also you can't see that right now let's see let's go here we can see it you still can't see it yep see it in there a little bit let me just take the shoes off so you guys can see it yeah just this is just right here just this little piece just the ankles you know that's all it is and really we don't even need that really you really don't even do you so what I do I just let's go back here to scan just this it's not gonna do us any good and I am working in our 19 so this is still left over and what we do we just hit our you know here optimize it there just to get rid of that and let's let's go ahead and get started cuz I don't wanna make this a long video I know you guys got things to do and I do as well so let's go ahead and I'll get this video going it just started I'm going to break off my character window here select my joint to knit and I love to start here in the pelvis in the pelvis area and by holding the ctrl right click on a Mac if you using our if you're using a Windows I'm not sure what they can be what I'll show you guys you know can figure that out pretty simple on your home easily on your home is where I'm going to say so what I'm gonna do I'm gonna work on one side of the character and then we want to bring everything over we're gonna bring everything over so okay so let's go ahead and bring this down let's fix fix my background with you because you guys probably wouldnt be VC is with this background so let me fix that I want you guys to be able to see what I'm doing I'll just bring these down so you can see it yeah alright so let's bring this over a little bit okay bring it down that's about the neat right there okay bring us here big one shoot so we have a ankle here we have a foot and we need one more and that would be octo so let's take a look at that from the side angle here okay this is in a good position what we can do is bring our let's bring our character slide our character back just a tad bit so she can be in sync with our joints okay so about here will be good for me so what we do we just go back there and okay and what we do we just want to bend put some bin dinar knee there's always help for directional purposes the joint cinema wants to know where which way which direction is joint will be building in so that's the purpose of the bend in the knee or any time and we put one here as you can see we haven't some issues here with the foot it's not even like we want but that's okay that's okay you work around alright so yeah we put this joint here like so and we go back to our for me okay and what go here to know what we're doing on these right now so let me just name these joints want to go up to our chest oh yeah and what we're gonna do here we're gonna turn off our route no you don't need that so you I yeah we're gonna do a choice here so you hold shift and just drop a couple here and this is something to think about a pit of time because we're gonna have control here so we're gonna have a control here don't have control here and we're gonna have control here and we don't wanna go too far up so let's bring let's bring the control down so let's bring this down just a little bit okay right here another thing we if you guys can't see this let's bring this up so you guys can see this daikons so maybe this will be better for you guys to see you get bigger icons over here so when you change that Reb you can icon size large icon so you can go away to medium and small icons if you want it's your preference all right so let's go back here and we're gonna bring our Gemma here this will be shoulder well okay so I'm gonna have a shoulder so this is this is someone like a collarbone is someone like a collar the collar bone like the collar bone here and here is your arm in the end we'll bring this all the way down to here and we control our hold down shift right click okay and one of the things about that is all I have mine set up I have my modifiers here set up to the default move so basically mine is on the shift is the ship but you can switch this to whatever you want just a minor set up to you know we went over there another tutorial so you guys if you guys are not familiar with this and you look in my other tutorials and I didn't better understanding on there so let's look at this from over here if you let's see what we got okay let's go alright so this move look at both names I'm here to basically lather something you did to where you want okay let's go here to name these joints okay so this song called slime so our naming convention is coming up on this plan okay yeah and we go back to our - yeah chest you go back to our front view the hair is in our way of it so we're gonna go to our hair alright we are here so we can see what we're doing here so we're gonna bring go up here another one and this is gonna be our neck joint it's gonna lead up to our neck yeah this uh neck and here's our head right well we can just do this like this listing this like this let's make this a lot simple for us let's just go straight up to our here the top right now we can separate what we want to be out here our neck so on and so on shift that's the neck this is not here okay you see what's going on with it let's just turn it side you take a good look at that see what we got going on here this is our neck this star here and that will come to help actually this can be up a little bit it can be up like toward the hook can be up toward the neck knot or the neck I'm sorry toward the back of the ear I was thinking about the neck oh yeah just just to belittle the ear here you can put your head joint and put this right here looks like something right there and here we have our list John here and I like to look at this in all three windows and just to get a good idea of where that is and I'm so mean on on all three positions just to get that right where I want it so you can see here it looks like I need to come back a little bit it looks perfect over here here look like it come down just a little bit you know you have to remember guys that we work in a 3d space on a 3d model so you have to use try to get used to using all four your windows swing modeling and just about everything you know Mahlon sculpting and rigging want try to use all your windows to help you out to get the best placement of things you know help really helps okay we seem to have a half of our rig done you know what let's do best you are let's do my hands let's go hands you know I see a lot of tutorials out there of guys doing rigging and they really skip over to hands man okay we'll just keep over the hands what I'm gonna I'm gonna show you in 3d space how this can be done and I'm gonna do this as quick as possible so we can just get them to it so how if you look at this you say how would you compare what you go about the one is how would you confront this all right how would you go about doing it quit no spinette in there so first thing we're how would you look at this and say you know what hey let's start with the wrists of course we won't hold control one neck proper joint there well I said let's let's do this because we have them submissions with this thing to be switched over to me you know what does that do that some things I don't understand everything so bear with me here and I'm gonna also look at my fourth you when do over here - to help me out placement actually that looks good that's nice trying to go back to I can't you okay alright so let's move this joint up a little bit we're gonna move that without it shift and just hold seven key we just go back so what I want to do is bring I'm looking at the Tom and the Thomas not in the position where I want it to be so in order to fix that problem what I'm going to do is it's just all old seventeen let's click on all the seventeen you missed me up to everyone and you know what you know what let's do this like this because this what things go wrong in when you do things students like this let's just bring this all we down let's bring this all the way down there's better ways that this can be done right now I'm not doing it there's a better way just actually quite a few ways that this can be done okay let's hold shift key and we know we weren't you won out right here and Arthur joins gonna be here so let's take a look at it and I'm using I'm using all three windows to get this done right okay it's beginning to get there in hell I'm getting satisfied with it now I wasn't satisfied with you before I try to use different methods every time I'm working on different every time I'm working on it just to you know to get the best method out of it and I should have just don't throw it done thing is what I use it to do it and another thing to this this this character pose is really what's causing a problem also because if the character was posed with the arms straight out you know what you know really you know T pose instead of this eight type pose triangle typos you know it's a little difficult or the t poles you know the character was in the t poles the arms was in a tepee poles like no doing this it just simplifies doing that no dr when when rigging the hand basically you know this is the more the way I'm doing this now is the more typically it's the most difficult way yep so yeah but no complain let's do it let's get it done because we ought to start an immediate record all right let's uh make sure that that show knee is sitting where should be sitting put this a little bit like to place another that's best and what we can do this one who looks like it'll be closer the next one so whatever just come here in this all right so you know thing what I like to do is go inside the hand also so widescreen with that let's look at this thing right now view from inside the hand that really hopes that you just try to Center it up with that whole let's try to look straight down it that finger I try to center that whole up senator joining up with that whole I hope you out and now we know where our next joints gonna go right it's a little here so we can do the same we'll take you there okay okay I think that looks you just go back here ctrl-click okay let's go that's not you all right and we're gonna join over there our tip about what we want let's fix it in this for you fixin to this view let's go to our perspective view we go back down and outside of our hand again creepy - right it's just the way I do it and I know you guys can yeah it's probably a little different method from doing this but it's just the way out to it it works for me it works for me No you got some professionals out there there's probably singing what's this guy doing he doesn't know what but like I see guys he works for me alright so what I'm gonna do my whole just my knuckle oh so I almost forgot about this maybe I want to put one right there and go back top you frontin and we're gonna click my wrist I don't care about those to me smoking like that even just gonna kick the line so this is where we want this alright so just go back to our perspective for you okay right here shift click shift right click you know my way might be might not be your way you know way better layout they're not doing this name talking it done it's how we do it over here all right so do shift shift right click shift right click so now you see everything is lined up no quarter have one slightly end or not and last but not least is pinky thank you thinking I don't know about you guys but I like reading characters me I like looking at this like this hold shift right click go inside right it looks good it's good that looks good and just my whole shift I should never bring this up just a little bit it's okay it's okay Thanks so there you have it guys we have a hangout that's treated with the joints and everything and we're gonna do here now just one select Auto joints I don't want this just to be things no more seats because you don't want this it's not I had to turn off something I see all right so let's go here to 90s and I'll be right back you guys all right we have a name of conventional setup right right now we still don't want to bring everything over because we want to attach all of our attach all of our controls and everything now in the MS we attach all of our controls the end we would bring everything over okay so let's go here and do that first we want to go here and I'm gonna select our heal and we're gonna edit okay okay sorry but there's let's go there you go yeah okay and there's an R key here right we still don't want to add a pole to this not just yet anyway we want to add we want to add a gonna add a pole to this but we want to do that once we get our character great once our pointsme once we find our our joints to our mesh then we gonna get a pole okay the other thing I want to do with this select everything select listen I don't want you and what you are alive - okay you wanna set it to world axis in our direction I said that the world also unique is he a lie now you can see what happened as we doing that it's a mine in these joints so you can see how this working everything is a lot now also we want to select I'm watching with you and we want freedom fries all and that will just help no for when we move joints out of their place we can do a PSR I'm shaking we can do a PSR get that back need not into a PSR to get that back position and somebody's knocking find a punching PSR let's do this so what I window custom-house PSR so you can see when I hit PSR you see get boned a joint just click back into position you it's just two let's go this is our necks some respected on the Nick yes I hear I hear ya this will be our head end okay now so let's take a look at everything we think seems to be named okay okay and let's go back chocolate that's what we was working at right and we've got this controller now that we put now we got this controller now let me put the foot down so don't just be like that hey missing line it up like that just bring this down drop the floor guys Melina get this drop the floor it's you helps a lot I put a link in a description we cannot get that it's actually free yeah everybody stays just lines really okay okay break it up a little bit just looks outside you taking that and this is not perfect not at all but we will get it you want to get it in shape you're gonna get this in oil you want to get this in order wants to get it brief though so yeah you guys probably won't have to do this with your mark so yeah and also we are going to bring out the snapper three snappy turn off the workplace and we're gonna go to exes snapping and vertex snapping or take snap this I want this to by holding the right button scrolling scrolling usually work sunshine but that's okay let's do it this way hey and we're gonna tell me something you just snap this right here we can just double checking make sure that it's in recluse and it's not so how's it reckless no so what we gonna do now just turn it over it and I'm gonna duplicate this box okay I'll hold down the command key not from sorry I'm sorry points I'm gonna take this snippet here also let's take a closer look at that to make sure that their sender was snapped in the right place and it is now let's so let's clean our box up here a little bit let's clean yourself because it looks looks a little funny here so let's select it you just as you can see our characters foot is on an angle but that's okay guys that is okay we're gonna fix all of that that's no problem let's problem it up the only inoculant stages bring this over okay and then our look 1 megohm is gonna call this on you're gonna call this heels control and we're gonna call this toe and I'm gonna bring it along and it's turned back on us Neffe I know what's gonna be snapped here okay man on our he'll actually miss name is this name is the total this name is - okay I'm gonna put a constraint here on our kill strain also I put this ring on my toe yeah and that is gonna be positioned okay and for our heel I'm gonna put our heel control our heel and for our toe arch oh yeah and we're gonna have our goal our goal was gonna be underneath our heel and our toe and our heel is gonna be underneath our goal so this is somewhat to order what we're looking at is let's turn up walk let's turn off the nothing so we have we have something like this let's do this like this let's bring in our P s penis our mistiness let's bring this and let's drop this right here well we can use this as often as we want you so first let's do this knee 40 before we do that so let's now go ahead and play with it and see if everything is working according to plans all right so we kick in I can't allow kicking my leg out I just want to keep somebody right maybe kicking somebody out right or not see if our toe is don't know what it's posting right so October doing what it's supposed to right that's it that and let's check our heel and see if our heels oh no the heel is not doing what it's supposed to do now why is that why is that good it'd be placement could it be placement or is it let's check out the off show yourself turn off the position I don't think they'll fix it but I see anyway so the problem with that was that the they're not the not to maintain not the ninth angel you know that could stay on the problem with that instead we want to have you want to have on one you want to have the position checked off because what that was this and checked off it causes the problem see right now it's not gonna work okay but if we turn off the position here we go and that's the beauty things okay now let's go let's go and let's select our joints and I'll show you the beauty of having this PSR button somewhere on your dash or you can see it where it's in front of you what you won't have to go in to windows customization custom customize command and always have to look for it okay take that and put that on your on your front page where you can have quick and easy access to it like I've done so here okay because now we can just click the button and everything on your own stuff back in the original position where you had froze them in here so let's move on let's go [Music] let's go to our arm now okay in an arm what we need here we don't need our shoulder bone to be we don't need an IKE a shoulder bone can you can do it it all depends on what you're using your character for but I rarely do not need it so I'm not going to use it but I am going to use it I'm going to use that shoulder or something else how much I get today to in a little bit so right now you don't need you don't need this resolved get some more frame I'm gonna stay here so view real estate so you guys can see okay and let's just put something up put up that so you can see it looks good let's go to this making thing looks look at the V bass so you guys can see something do something do it here okay um let's select our joints okay that's okay so you get our joints and we want to add these joints to a layer because maybe sometimes we want to hide these joints right so yes actually later okay Oh actually don't see it right now that's nesting is oh it's going to get this stuff away I so now we got an arm here yes here okay and we're gonna wanna go here to display here object I'm gonna change this to cube okay just bring like a bring that down with it and you rotate it a little bit okay so yeah let's name this stuff - its name this call this is know right here first what I'm gonna do with it first I'm gonna put Q around this so we got a cube around this morning I want to give you the no I'm not gonna get the color right now Emily get your lair you know what why not I know that's just give me color so we can see it you see we can see some progress more so everything on my left side this is what I like - everything on my on on left side I like to UM check it it's real and everything on my right side I like to take it's blue that's just me that's just how I do things you can do it your way just how do it so I want to call this my leg control okay yeah here you want to call this toe control and this we're gonna call heel control and this is a goal here and let's just call this what it already is I guess people call you'll go cool and let's give it a color good thing great on my side everything you read on the flip side even everything is weird you can also do this however you want you this is how I'm doing okay and we're coming along we're looking good looking good looking good hey check it once more position constraint put it back in place alright and we still need to we still need to put a pole here to control down to the control Arnie so yeah alright so let's go back here let's go back to each other something to look like this what seems to be position I make it a little bit bigger little bigger so I can see it all right so yeah now we are going to go to our wrists because we need to this is not our wrist is not able to be end right now you know we got this table we get this arm if we click on our whisk oh we got this what good is that you know so you know let's put this on peace or something okay let's freeze that we froze that already okay and now all that mean move that move that wrist we know that wrist and you move it any way you want and PSI back in place it's magic okay uh uh I stop kidding around okay that's all let's go here and it's not our twistier what we gonna do we're gonna put a a you can see because I know y'all can see that uh that's very constraint go straight to Eric I'm getting uh putting it this right Eric cuz I know you guys can't see it from over there well yeah so I'll go straight take and position okay we're gonna put maintaining original you know what this needs to be checked what for will you do this what imma leave it on chef just to show you guys what my problems it cause if you don't use it so uh you're gonna put our wrist goal in here and as you can see you see how our wrist just turned that's because we need to use we need to put on maintain original it's just maintaining the original position that it was in so we click that in we back you know our maintain original position okay there's a lot of different things you can use this for one other thing I want to show you about this let's say when I if I get positioned off right and I pour let's go back to the snow that's all I was doing because we can always use when controlling our character we always use our wrist goal and not our original wrist because this is no longer functional once you're using okay so once we click on that risk oh we move our wrists and we noticed that our wrist does not follow and why is that that's because uh we just because of the position check now for you let's say anyone I care to get some stretches and I say you want to stretch it your character say you want to stretch your character you got a you know you're doing something what you want your character to stretch if you do this you wouldn't be able to get that character's arms stretch okay but if you don't some type of animation what you want your character on the stretch you want to have position check in your constraint so now you have a stretching arm okay or stretching here or a stretching leg or stretching back whatever you want the characters whatever you want your character to stretch and one other thing let's say you want to character hand - - like grow or something like that right you want to check your scaly so now you can scale your character's body part or something like that but you guys get the idea okay that's all let's turn off was scaling so I'm just trying skewing off I like I don't even use but I'm sure you guys may have the projects you know I don't use it not in this anyway so now one other thing we want to do before everything is done okay I want to you see character hips it's done okay let's bring everything over just go here any way anything from one side to the other so I'm gonna go here right break this one off right I'm gonna select everything that we want to switch he switched over first escalates another Samaritan so the origin okay organs were all right local options you want to do this from self you want to do this to clone okay our name right we're gonna replace it won't replace this with our okay our waiter we don't have to do anything in here Indian wants me up selectively everything we just wanna get mirror so let's see my talk about everything that you want to mirror over okay she's looking everything you want me over okay this is everything we want to riddle which is our lahic all of our later joints and make sure you have this naming convention in in order to do this it has to be underscore underscore whatever you choose to use okay and we are going to look to this and make sure everything else is good in X to it so now all we do now is just other try Muir - in just me originally and will leave me with over right and we noticed something we know there's something here on our other on our wrist here it's different right that's okay let's check everything else to make sure everything else is good because I ladies good night that's nice let's check our shoulder you didn't come back into position okay everything over here name blue let's make this blue quite we can do multiple I would do just one of time do Moulton no okay now we haven't problems right here so let's fix this okay and one thing that it could be it could be because we do not have a constraint on our rightness so let's check it I'm not hungry since sure but let's check it okay we do have a concern all right let's division but how we can fix this is by demeaning this one right and because what happened was dead the constraint that was on the left wrist was constraint for the for that left wrist in that position so bad deleting it and adding a new constraint tank or right wrist will fix that so yeah so we just added another constraint tag here for breakfast and same thing that we did for our left wrist maintain what do you and our constraint check is looking for a target and that target is gonna be our right risk oh and there you go in the position and the reason for that is so that we're able to get some Bend and the right wrist because we wasn't able to do that before so now we're able to get the bend the building action and I right wrist and not only I'll write this but also of course that's awesome okay you could be the same ways it's not just not just that way you know okay oh yeah and we also get this we also get stretching we also get a stretching to you on there on there which - so we got stretching on our character yep now now the next thing to do now is to just select everything they I'm just gonna select everything here so select everything Cree's all of this okay you know you can look at our character you get it from the front and just see if everything lines up the way we wanted to make sure that our cemetery is true symmetry nothing is off okay so far so good excuse me okay okay now also we want to add some we're gonna add some controls some other controls as far as our wrists well not our hip need hip controlled and spine and chest controls neck control here controls stuff like that so we're gonna go ahead and all make those controls um there's the things that we can use in here to make the controls we need but I'm gonna make our to make controls from scratch except with you know the circle controls I want to use the circle controls but what I want to what I want is a home I wanna y'all I controlled it like a navigation control basis I can control that oh that goes on floor and stuff like let's just do it let's just stop talking get to it cuz probably make you guys bored he's talking about why don't he just get to it yeah understand so let's do it okay and we're gonna think I'll just do this let's do this I'm try to be as quick to not waste a lot of time doing it right so this is gonna be duplicated we want to duplicate this three more times so one two three four and want to move these you wanna select all three right and we're gonna hit our magic Center I've talked to a magic cent I talked to you guys about magic Center in previous tutorials and we it's a good it's another good it's another free um free are plugging in from on nitro minute you can check him out he has a lot of a lot of the stuff is free and some you know paid very cheap for the price man he's this guy's uh he's he's definitely somebody she could you guys go check out nitro man what are ya so yeah just click on this and what I did is just sent it up all three what I want to do I want to I want to sing I want to do individual one so what I would do is just right here I'm gonna click the center axis - okay what just get all four of them individually you know so you let's put those bad okay and that's all about snapping stuff don't need this right now right turn is that way okay yeah yeah take this one put it up here basically what this notice must do me some casinos a soloist okay so never so old we can't see three okay that's that's schema color well that we can see a little bit now I hope you guys can see this but I can see it I hope you guys to see it if not just go here to complain in comments you know try to get him ref you guys next time so yeah so now what we have now is we have we have three points STDs because you guys not be able to see this might not be able to see it I want you guys to see what's going on here turn these down so you can see what's good even's grreat can turn all the stuff off I want to be black okay now so these are our pieces here and maybe we can move out a little more no see I'm doing a little bit won't be too much now that's my career I want my career I want you single - you have to see my create me check my without shame ugly it out me okay yeah so no I believe what you can see okay now I want to add a circle in there okay right now see is way too big I wanna bring that thing down okay and hopefully this is snapped to the floor and yes you did you snatch it to the floor okay and we are going to select all of them hello what we have now is a controller on the floor and you wanna Center this in just to just about clicking on the medic Center there you go cinema 4d also has a tool that's centered to an object also and I have it here somewhere senator object senator object to it's an object to in central axis - well yeah that's it and I'll get stuff in other tutorials tips though so that's it and what we're gonna do we're gonna call this character controller you gotta spell it right pose I'm Gordon uh-oh y'all okay look yes okay let's bring everything back and as you can see it's way too small well this character so we gonna do me just gonna bring it up a little bit let's bring it up that might be too big okay meet a little bit smaller okay and what else does his carriage and eat right well scourge also needs a you know what I'm gonna go set this back to the default window so you guys can see this and I could see his jutsu because there's no fun if you can't see okay no that's all so weird and hard at our polls I said our policy you know so we're gonna do our arm polls first you're gonna do our arm holes okay well first before we do that let's go here and uh let's go even find a character love you all that probably been waiting on that should be pretty bad now you know it's ready guys so you just wanna make sure everything is selected okay sorry guys sorry about that um we got everything selected all rubbish make sure we gotta shoot the clothes lashes brow eyes no hair and she can okay none of these none of these things do we have to have we have to worry about you know so this is it and we're ready to buy and when we do that we just let's go to character right come hands do bond okay now that everything is has been buying it you can now click on our controls and we're getting some movement now from a mission character medicine yeah we may have a little bit of pulling over here but that's okay we work all that out we'll get to that in a moment for now let's go hit a nap there are other controls what I try to do I try to keep the arrows in a grateful position so as well you turn to someone so it's weighted shrink it out move it let me break it down a little bit more yeah bring it forward a little bit good for you can always looks out front you can help us out we ran over here and now move you a little bit small and I'm gonna bring another one yeah we wanna make this a little bit bigger you don't go too far under the arm on the arms okay I didn't want to bring another one up and this will be for our Nick nothing smaller smaller and wanna bring one for our kid yeah I'm gonna make this one a bit small and this one for our neck here we are gonna tilt it and also we can bring it down a little bit more let's bring it up a little bit okay and we're gonna we're gonna go ahead and what we're gonna do with these make them all edible and we are going to give them a color call that stands out for me it's green you see how their looks and also we are going to name these and this one will be our head control okay this one will be our neck control this one will be our chest control this one is going to be our spine to control this one's gonna be hard it's fine one control and this mismo be our hip control okay and our neck control he's probably down a little bit too far let's cool it down cool now let's make sure that they are let me just like these and bring them up just a little bit good enough and back there where he wears bows but yes what is tutorial on to make it look good for you guys and then we're gonna go to snappy turn off the grid snap gonna happen gonna enable snappy 3d snapping rotation habit and access now I'm gonna be checked and also turn this on and it just me tell you what it is with the enable axis okay and let's go ahead and get these together this one we're gonna snap to our hit joint right take a look at it it's not sniffing like I wanted to snap much well I hate it right books it wasn't it was a snap it right before minutes strange go get everything all right though okay that's all okay snaps right here not just lucky it's fine if right now you got these things set up what we want to do next is go here to set him up where they work without character so in order to do that okay Tobias let's turn this off this controls up helpers right so let's put a constraint tank on it and I know you guys can see over here but you see you a little bit right here go shrink and it's gonna be position maintain original and we want to put our hip control in there okay and spine what it also won't be constraint maintain original but this time you want to turn off position okay there's a matter fact let's do this let's conclude this and we go here to copy this yeah yeah yeah okay and it's just over there those because this is gonna be spine one so I wanna go in there it's just gonna be mine too okay smart to use my wooden chest your neck neck so the only thing that was different different set up only the strength the only constraint that was different out of the one two three four five six was the was the pelvis and this should've been helped it could be me helping could be table as mr. pelvis I leave it the way it was named this that was that was control okay and it automatically it automatically updates here so yeah the only thing that was different pelvis control only thing that was different area I just had the position check what the pelts control and I can show you why that was done that way just because that was control there's gonna be things like this you don't want to hit to do that because it'll move your character away I'll show you I'll show you what's up and the reason these things I'm not moving in a reason anyone these are not moving it's because it has to be set up oh yeah so how we do that is pelvis control go underneath welcomes our did smiling one control will go under the pelvis control spine tool control will go under the spine one control in the chest control will go under the spine to control and neck control will go on to the chest control in the heat control go under the neck control so now that if we if we move our pelvis everything works accordingly in our arms are not moving with our with us so what we can do to fix that we can just take take our our arms well let's do this before you hit did you not get today but let me go ahead in our and mr. Scalia do this first and we're gonna do right now we want to go to our arm arms right arms in our arms I'm gonna go Apple okay so it gave us the gate was these poles here and we're gonna do gonna select these poles I'm gonna bring these poles up these poles out okay and let's just put them let's put them right here for now okay let me get my own a color you know what you know just where cholera hangs you know it seems to help me out a lot so I want to make derail it the left as usual megaria and blue mints are the right one make the right the right one be call Accord anything's blue it's on right side here's one of that and also want to select the poles one select these poles and I'm gonna bring them out so just to show you how they look there he is bring them out okay what these poles will do they were control the direction where the elbow you know will be facing maybe I'll see a dead wrong - but I give you I'll show you in a minute make a little pyramids with the ease they see they fix it up right so yeah that's good Indiana make them make them about three no further parts I'll make them make um a little bit bigger than that I think it looks small before very close to and now I want to give them no one doing needs no right my lady something because my legs new post you because without the polls let's select polls right I select the other hips without the polls on the knees or the legs this is what we getting with the legs buckling together like this right because there's no poles on the links okay now from air polls on the latex things tend to be a lot better you know and basically the same way we did arms but this time we don't make legs so let's select both of these let's bring them up let's put them with our legs okay same color same way might do it coloring you want to do left red right blue you can do it the way you want to do it but this is the way I do it guys it's helpful to have these things done decently in order decently and in order alright so we don't want this around the ridge so we want to keep the latex with the legs what's is too happy with the legs we can actually okay we think it's good let's turn yourself have this okay we got both of our yeah we got our legs right we got our legs a late polls right so they pull they pull you wanna break it up in this case I'm freaking out a little bit in the end I'm going to go and I want to make these pyramids also not facing camera that's cool you're gonna give these are three just let me do the just like do the arms so now when we do okay we know our legs are buckling now okay now one other thing we want to do is back to the back to the wrist something that I'm missing I haven't done oh yeah we've bending right we're bending and our arms are looking weird okay so what what I like to do and you know you guys think mishap you want to do it but what I'd like to do is take my arms see I got my wrists all here right see I got my risk I got my my left list this is all right this is all my mean this is all right this is my right list right it's my it's my right what's goal am I this is my left risk of all in my left arm hole okay and my right miss go in my right arm Pole want to put those together sorry guys I'm still nobody stuff with it but these two are gonna go under my chest now this is why you should do this I put this under my chest so now I did it when I use them I am using my pelvis in this type of all look characters anyone it's never so unicycle be okay and also after we got that no we're gonna take everything everything that we just needed rocket and we're gonna put it under the character control that between that in Turner what move our character anywhere okay okay this it's bringing back and what I do now just select everything here open it up open up everything right you know just everything and freezing it all okay now we had some issues with our arm our arm was getting this so what we do what we will do is let's animate the honor doing this let's do this animate that on oh yeah this is the stretching that I was talking about you this is good this is the way I want everyone set up and you want to see that bone you know you see it now but you would see it let's celebrate okay let's animate that okay but we got the oml break so now we have this okay what we're going to do is click on oh look what we're gonna do is I'm gonna click on this will be dis Partizan my shirt just a shirt isn't ever right now so let's go to our coke I'll call it's not club click on right and we can do these we can do this a bunch of ways I've got other tutorials that I've done this came out pretty good I want to get this in so you guys can see what's going on here I wanna turn this to hierarchy makes more sense to me when it's done like that so smooth too and as you can see in here it takes it's not hard sit back and I'll just take an easy one day and just do this it's pretty easy it's not hard right here we want subtract some smoke down okay source of trekking bring it out so we just want to option you say be careful guys because missable only I could just eat me so let's look at the tickets going on with it okay not bad and let's go ahead a mirror is always on somebody that don't seem to be right over all right so well she with you know what right so this has come too long so we have a vacant position yeah we're just about finished the only thing that we need to do now is just check everything let's check our legs let's check let's check everything on the character make sure everything is working Gordon shall we planned it one thing I like to put a pole under delayed so that let me do so let's do that for I write another thing I wanna do is just bring everything about go hit this one should I check again students just want to freeze this again just to be a hundred signature that everything goes frozen soil nothing slows up so let's go back and gonna check our okay Alexa could be working fine okay now why our Labor's working fine let's check our knee right see need to be working fine okay check our toll controller toll control shackle he always works fine let's check will check their poll will check their to check to heal and this we won't be using we won't be using he'll go back here he'll go we won't be we don't really don't even need don't believe we need it there but we're not gonna be using it when it comes to intimating and stuff like that so that's just there for nothing so you can really just ignore their and these will be the controls you will be unit my name delay control they pol talk control in a heal control for both legs so let's check let's check our right leg and make sure everything is working on my right leg yeah by the way you King you can bring this down it doesn't tell me you know so let's check our right check out right right leg right leg I'm good I'm sure all the same features and everything we're going same way okay and you can check this let's check this make sure this okay let's check our it was control hip patrol so that's looking good and we'll check back some issues going on right here with the bending here I got some opening back let's see what our neck is doing here you just use a small t-shirt I hate it okay not here so now we see now that we see what problem is that now it's time to fix it all right so let's fix this problem let's fix these couple of problems there we go which is not it's not something I didn't expect I expected to have some o'keefe right this I got some tools back here I just can't get you what let me see what I said yeah I'm looking for something I'm nowheres near but let me just miss man it's my way too I gotta put this over here because I'm the one eating here anyone to is good the heaviest rain to Amanda wait manager and the way tool comes in handy so the problem is this is the problem is the issue that we have let's look at the issue okay the issue is when she's spending the problem is in both areas is in the body which is the amber scan and the problem is also in the amber clocks and those two things that we're going to be looking at in order to fix this problem so let's start with the hammer close first and nine times out of ten the problem is up and uh yeah jolt area not the shoulder area so we may have to take off remove some let's check smooth inverse to see what's moving to help us know some of these knuckleheads I tell you what let's start with the amber skin understand we probably fix this problem Yesi adding adding to it seems to fix the problem these things are not cinema fleets of Scylla 40 is not hard it's not hard at all actually I would say cinema 4d is probably maybe to me probably the most easiest home used to work with the learning curve on it it's pretty awesome see as I as I add more to this the more start to stick out so let's do what we first just reversing it cups it and now we got this one piece that sticking up right here let's turn it up to see if it gets studious let's take off I don't know normalize now subtract okay I want peace nesting up either we add it makes it worse or we subtract from it it makes it better or vice versa see any - this may help it but we still have this piece here that stick no you know another thing to also what we can do with this this piece that sticking up I'm gonna show you something here because that piece that sticking up it's not helping us it's not helping us and also it's not we really don't need it to be honest so what we can do show you something what we can do here most likely it was on this Carter so what you can do is just get rid of it all together we don't need it all right no that's back let's get back to position okay he'd go what yet it's a nine it right I never go it's gone actually scans what we did not there anymore and it's not causing us a problem when we standing up that's what happens when you have extra mesh on your character you really don't even need okay that problem is fixed so let's see what else we get now the problem we was having stairs our face wasn't working right because that problem is because as you can see we got our neck selected and we have too much select it up top let's just do this subtract it here just wants to track all of this and let's check out our lines but some lines on it so we can see what's going on make sure this both sides all right and now that we've done that let's get this into you I hear all right so now I don't do my smoothness out just like that all right now I'm select my hear it now okay I'm said I can hear it from the neck to the head okay and here's singari he'll be okay okay what happened since I'm already almost all the tool already just here just want to smooth the net okay all right now we got our hair here's one see something's wrong take a look at this again the hair has no weight on it it's just completely ignoring ignoring the head it the weight that's on it is nine times out of ten on the weight that's only nine times another teen is on the chest because see when I'm moving the chess works fine when I get up to the neck it's not doing anything so when I get up to the head it's not doing anything so the weight that's on the back of the ponytail is most likely the chest weight there's also we have to do is remove the chest weight off the remove the chest weight off the hair and have him do that basically we're gonna go to Amber cloths right yeah bring out the chess so we gonna break up the chest and you're gonna bring up the hair all right and we want to track them see it's not letting us get out of that so how we gonna get that is just take off out of normal ass and then you can just wipe it right off let's turn it back home because you can auto a couple eyes home but for repurposes like that man gonna have the turned off let's see what else maybe you'll not hear all the weight that may be on I hear that we can do that okay thanks what's on it that's what shoot you still got some neck on it so what you doing with that cuz we have chest on it and then we had some neck on it you still see we got some head on the - so yes okay we got here Don that's what we should have we should have here so what we do we add and just add here and that's the way to go so it should be anything else on HS strongest back see what happens when we Bend I'm here still good when we began here still
