Yeah, that's to get our character. Yeah, that's is it. Our basic character is finished. Now we will start rigging it. 6. 06 Rigging Part 1: Adding Bones with Bone Tool: There is a good technique for rigging character to using to use dummy shapes. I will draw on circle on com ERT coming toe symbol. I say Domine helper on hold off And she key drug it. Choose bought off them. Rug it on holding all key. I'll drag and copy. Object. I put doors. One for this hand. One for this aunt. Sorry. One for this food for his foot and one for Dallas. One for so all right. And for neck and for hat. Thank Yeah, it's here. It's here. Try to make them in center and double click that, uh, Dom you object onto reads. I will change to call if use green to see it. Okay. I forgot to convert this into symbol constable. And you do pelvis name. Yeah, that's like everything. And see everything. He's a symbol. Now, choose born to and we will at bones. You'll start by this object and click and rock here. Click and drag here and choose for a transform tool. And put this object here. Yeah, and you want to click and drag here, click and drag here, here and again. We can drop here, conduct head on a rock here. Yeah, look at its other plants and click this object on drug here. Click and drag can drag and we can direct or this are on do the same. And for this, like clicking Brack Has he? I am drawing with this atomic tools. Dummy symbol. Sorry. Yeah, you can drag can drag and we can drive. Are bonds is ready. We will arrange the political positions off the body parts. 7. 07 Rigging Part 2: Positioning Body Parts: Hi. In this lesson, we will position or body parts here. And to do this you have to choose three Transform tool. And first I want make those circles transparent and enter the symbol on Select it. And here changed. I've health if you color. Yeah, gone away. But it's still here and choose for a transformed tool and placed the body parts. There's a done here. Put this upper arm Yeah, at lower arm and the hands and just tell me here Polish in the this part here. Stormy, actually. Yeah, I would give it stroke. Choose in a bottle tool on clicked edge. And you and stroke. I made a stroke here on. Sorry, we have to choose free transform, too. Placed neck here. Right. Click a range where they are sent back. And take this here. Stomach should be here. Just tallies. Here. Uh, just time should be here on. We have to arranged his posts. Uh, born Michael still Just click this little white circle here on the born rearranged to here on Take the slack here. A baby doctor? Yeah. Uh, they slack shoe. Thanks, Tommy. They slag. Yeah, Yeah, I am selecting. Bought. I'm perplexed to see they based last. It's OK now, Andi. Those maybe baby lover. Yeah. Yeah, and selective shoe. Place it. Check the baselines. Okay. And put this down here. Okay. Should be in center that check it. Bean center. Okay. This part of this born connection should be censored. Okay, now? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. To see our characters ready for animation. I think I should move. Eat here. Yeah, right. Click and select stroke and believe it. And to see our character is ready. And as we're seeing in the time land armature object has appeared. This means that this is an immature now. And I can click a bone or out of pink and move it. Yeah, I can animate, but I have to make some arrangements and I will do eat in the next lesson. 8. 08 Rigging Part3 Arranging Bone Constraints: Hi again In this lesson, I will do some arrangement at the bones when I click apart and move it and see everything that's connected to eat. Most but other See, I can't take this shoulder this arm part here or here. I don't want it. And to do that, I will make some call trains. I have to add some constraints to the bones. Like this bone or these, uh, joint or dishpan. Yeah. And here in the properties panel, you'll see the bones properties. And this is the rotation it's named. I will disable it on chicken able and is See when I click here. Now, our upper arm doesn't change its position here. Also, when I can make a constraints spawn, it affected all connected parts here. Yeah, he's this part. Also this part again. Not enabled. Yeah, this is enabled because he's born belongs to here. And we want response. Rotation. Actually, I don't Yeah, here as c. I can move it. You're and year round here when you take you to you. There's an unnatural movement here because, as you know, normally our shoulders can rotates here and not to you. I have had some constant. And also this arm recalled rotate like that, but couldn't rotate like that. I hope to make some constraints here. Can't also and cannot be like that. Yeah. Here, select it and choose rotation constraint and the left off sick. You can see there is that little, uh, angle representation here. Watch here. When I changed rotation, angle change, it shows Well, it can rotate and it can rotate Just here and at the bottom can rotate toe here. Yeah. No, I got to 90 degrees at trying to do Greece, actually, Yeah, I have the cost, friend. And now I cannot move beyond this. Partners now I will make it constraint here. Cross train and make it 15 degrees on. Should be a retire like bet. Yeah, he's okay and hand on his hand. I make you constraint also really at the dummy helper, because off this constraint and this position yeah, maybe can go. Here are This is good. Yeah. I will do what I will do the same for this arm. Also about I will do for myself. Let's look at legs here. Legs also shouldn't rotate and click this and disabled rotation on and see this born doesn't rotate on the position off leg, he's saying, and I have to add the constraint here. Now, it's like, because here, on here. But click this bone and sorry. It should be okay here. Left off states. Should be Nike here in the 2 50 Yeah, and constraint. Spawn on left offsets. Should be. I got five meat, maybe zero. Yeah, we can't move beyond this for this young. This should be something. Yeah, we will change it like that. Yeah. And this is also because rains No, you can read here, but I don't want it. Click spoon and changed. Constrained here on this. Here. Yeah. See, actually, it should be smaller, because I don't want, uh, uh, like, go outside off the shoe. She like, It's no sure, uh, constraint here. Select in rotated. Okay. On a constraint here for tuition constrain and should get you 15 on 15. Yeah, check. It's okay. At little rotation on a trip that also has a constrain. Check this 45 degrees. Yeah, it's okay. It looks natural. Yeah, And see if you can delete. Yeah, I will do the same for other parts. And in the next lesson, we will do some positions 9. 09 Animating Character: Hi. I edit all constraints to all bonds. Ah, at this similar consequence here on the similar constants off this leg toe dislike and I added a constraint. Here I can take it just by nine degrees to nine degrees and that is it. Are character is now ready for posing. And this is the amateur object. And click here. Right Click and insert frame and extent amateur, uh, duration and click your and right Click and insert Pause. Those are pause is this is the basic pose. This is another pause. As you see, it animates automatically and you can't move this pauses toe. Make it more, uh, quicker. Yeah, you can right click and copy. Oppose and paste it right. We can paste, pose as you see, arrange to pause positions. Yeah, just very fast. I want it, takes its leg and stops it, Then lowers its legs and click and copy. Dispose and paste it, see if he's supposed now up. Stop on, Duh up. Stop on down and see Kim pose your character and sort pose child for this. Like also, huh? Insert pause. Same pose and you sort of pause down. Actually copy, Dispose paste it here. Yeah, yeah. Dispose here. Yeah. Are you hear? Click answer on a plate. Ah, I want to make it's character seat. Certain posts here. Down! Take this. Sorry. I think I need ground. I just throw a rectangle double click. It's it's feel And I fight these fields I for 100 no apply here. Yeah, and it's sort frame here. It also last still for second. And he if yeah, we will arrange pauses. Yeah. See, it's Kratz now, but you have to change its my position to do that Select free transform tool like whole object on we achieved. Move here, Andi. I had to add another pose here. Pose on here to make it more natural movement, uh, scratch on jumps cause on which transformed toe make year. And it's selection tool like that on when he's cuts lower ses arms crabs take this arm. Take spot on and Yeah, then jumps. He asked here and read a second or great for a while. Jim Cantor plate. Yeah, Okay. I can't John, on this pause based here, actually copy disposal. So case here to make it more natural on here throbs He make this? Yeah, Cancer group have to see we animated our character
