tutorial - finishing rigging part 2

[LulzAreGud]

My camera glitches out and dissapears after the arm :( help

[ApeloFellow]

OK I just posted a comment about my rig collapsing when I aligned my collar bone. I found a service pack that fixes this problem. If you have it message me and I'll link you it. :)

(legit autodesk fix btw)

[ApeloFellow]

i have an odd problem. when i add an arm and try to align the collar bone it disappears along with my entire rig (thank god for saves). in fact anything i do to the collar bone makes it disappears along with my rig.

[isimontid]

If you're having problems with the whole arm disappearing after moving the collarbone; Select the collarbone AND the bone after it.. Selecting the whole arm also works fine.

After this is done you can align the collarbone properly.

I don't know why this happens but I just realised that when I move the ankle up so I can bend the knee,the leg glitches and it moves from left to right like crazy .The problem is that when i first rigged the leg this thing did not happen so I don't understand what have I done wrong.

[xinnalynn]

Ack, I need help badly. All was going well until the arm. For some reason when I tried to align the collarbone, 3dsmax all the sudden freaked out. The whole arm rig disappeared, my perspective view became blank (cant move around or zoom in or out), and the the y, z,x grid (when you press w) will not move anything. I have no idea what's wrong, please help. I really want to learn how to rig models properly...

@xinnalynn Having the same problem.

[DaStuntBrothers]

@xinnalynn Found a fix online for this problem. Don't know if you need it now but others might.

"Select each clavicle and disable the option “Manipulation Affects Neighbors in Hierarchy” under Hierachy -> Link Info."

Should fix it up. But you got to do it every time you use a collarbone of any sort.

@DaStuntBrothers Thanks for the fix

[kattejuice]

@xinnalynn I have the same problem! :(

did you find a solution yet?

[ApeloFellow]

@xinnalynn Hello I know its been 6 months but I found the appropriate fix for your problem lol! I know you have probably solved it by now but just in case I can link you the fix. Message me if you want it.

Really helpful tutorial! A question though about the CAT rig.

I'm mostly planning on making animations for ingame sequences in source. Incase you are familiar with this: will the cat rig still work for animating the bones? Will animation save correctly (I'd be surprised if they didn't but I just want to make sure) or will I have to resort to something else? Thanks for all of these really super helpful tutorials. You have saved me a month of work probably :)

[patwauschek]

I was just curious what file type do you use to export your rig please?  I'm working on an animation scene and I would like to import my rig to save me time. Thanks in advance!

[patwauschek]

@patwauschek Nvm. I just discovered you can Merge files from the import tab. *phew* Saves a lot of time!

[AJMart1nez]

[zurikaten]

Thanks alot for posting these tutorials! Just gotta get a new mouse before i start to animate since my left mouse button is glitching.

[anthodude]

how about a characters mouth and facial expressions?

[JoeAlcorn]

I have the whole rig finished and linked, but when I move the Pyro's body everything moves as it should except for the right index finger, which stays exactly where it is. Any ideas what I've done wrong?

I don't think it's anything to do with the rigging, I must have done something to the bone because it stays put

[maxovitsj]

what is the easiest char to start rigging with? The one with the least bones?

thanks for the tuts man :)

[thejazzman9475]

@maxovitsj all pretty much identical :)

[maxovitsj]

@thejazzman9475 Yea, well im working on a dancing combine soldier at the moment and i love it. I totally love animating, i suck at it but it feels awesome.

thanks to you! :D

[DarkDeserter]

@thejazzman9475 I've been having problems linking the legs to the sexy hips. When I do the legs freak out and get all streched and move down to the feet. Any solution?
