Rigging Characters in Maya (Part 1)

[Iceicon2]

when i make a bone it is really big how to i make it small or skinny.

[KRossing91]

Easier to start on rigging a character if he's in a relaxed T-pose if you ask me. Great tutorial though.

[jesflory]

Thank You!!! These three videos helped me alot!! If only you had a part 4! ... assigning pole vectors and control handles

[just2pissyouoff]

where's the root?

[abhilashkm1988]

Hai am new to rigging can u help me to rigg a body.

[squirtingbuttholes3]

why is this character that dense?

[frankytap]

you sound like the drill sargeant on System Shock 2.

"welcome to wake-island marine"

[madio69]

Thanks...and also...lovin the accent...makes the whole thing fun....Keep it up....learning sooo muchhhh.

[Mixamo3DAnimation]

Great tutorial. I'd suggest next time you use quicktime to record your screen when you do tutorials. The menu items are not really visible this way.

[anthonytwocrown]

Thanks for this, its just too marvelous...Can u help with a problem. I think i mistakenly locked my character movement control, so whenever i click on the control, it all goes ashe and unmoveable, please reply me if you have any idea on how to unlock it so its all moveable..Cheers!

"I didn't want to name the joints, I thought it was stupid." ROFLMAO

You rock dude, thanks for the awesome tutorial, love your accent.

[thebcbane]

I've only seen the first minute or so, but this guys accent rocks! He makes learning fun....

Not at all what i expected but anyways pretty sweet.

[sizzle666123]

There's a much easier way of creating joints. You see, first you need some marijuana....

[schwene2]

he sounds like an army sergeant :)

[ChimeraProd]

I freakin love this guys accent, totally makes learning this better.

[spoljas]

[keltar2007]

Hey, dude...I'd like to contribute to the youtube tutorial community...coulc U pls tell me what program U use to record your screen?

[blatong]

it's just a video camera.

[keltar2007]

I know, he uses some program for the other vids

[Isferd]

Lol... Just a camera... But you could use "CamStudio"... Its free, and pretty good... ;)

[keltar2007]

Thx

[keltar2007]

Neva Maind!

[Digital8Derok]

camstudio is best

[boycie18]

At university we call it a "Reverse foot lock" so i guess thats wat u were trying to say hehe :P Cheers for yet another quality tutorial mate....

[TheCashGiftingSystem]

I named the thing LeftArchBase :D Great tutorials man, you are good.

[unpicked1]

LOL, as long as you know what it is, I guess you can name it whatever you want.

Well, Thanks for watching, man.

[TheCashGiftingSystem]

Anytime, but I wish you did more. I am having one hell of a time getting my character so im doing all I can. I will see what I can do, maybe ask for help if I REALLY run into it. Thank God for you + google lol

[torinoshinsei]

called a revers foot rig

[rajesupriya]

these r good but how to download this video...i need this video url code

[lpfann]

ok i have been trying to follow your instructions but its not working for me

I cant make the foot base or w/e you call it. Whenever I use the joint tool and like hold shift, it doesnt make it as skinny and stuff as the one on yours and it just doesnt work the same ITS REALLY FREAKIN ANNOYIN

[unpicked1]

You have your joint size to small. Either go up to your settings, and make them smaller, or just make your character bigger.

Well, Take it easy.

[xLouEhx]

Lol he had a third leg for a bit :P

But thanks for the video

I needed this so much :)!

[duncmoney]

The foot thing your talking about is a reverse foot rig, I think.

[unpicked2]

Thanks

[duncmoney]

How come everybody makes their models so huge?

[unpicked1]

Well, When you plan on adding cloth to it, it really helps to make them bigger.

[distorteddogma]

Please add these to YouTooners, James.

Great stuff. Too bad the internal program freezes.

Be Well.

[unpicked2]

I got to find something else. It looks a lot better when I use it than when I set my camera up to film the computer. Maybe I can find another program. Well, take it easy.

[Metallica1guitar]

@unpicked2  try hypercam

[AerocK]

Quality of video is fine...Another fine tut from Unpicked2...

[unpicked1]

Thanks, Man. That stupid program I was using to record my self working keep freezing up on me, and I keep losing my work, and when it did work, it would record the video faster than my sound, and my voice would get ahead of what i was doing, and the longer i went, the worse it got.
