[0:00] want to learn rigging but don't know
[0:01] where to start welcome to my hopefully
[0:04] all-encompassing tutorial I purposely
[0:07] designed a pet model which I believe to
[0:09] be less intensive and beginner friendly
[0:11] to teach you you can download this model
[0:13] for free in the description and work
[0:15] alongside me step by step I recommend
[0:18] doing so as I'll be introducing live2d
[0:20] cubism to you little by little through
[0:22] this pink panda bat we'll be working in
[0:24] live 2D cubism where there is a free and
[0:27] a paid version of this program if you
[0:30] want to view all the differences between
[0:31] the two you can do so with this link
[0:33] provided in the description you can also
[0:35] activate a free 42-day trial of the paid
[0:38] version that has all the features but
[0:41] you may want to save that for when
[0:42] you're doing your main model I tried my
[0:45] best to make this model free version
[0:46] friendly but keep this in mind as we
[0:49] work feel free to pause as many times as
[0:51] you need the first thing to note when
[0:54] opening your live 2D cubism program is
[0:56] the layout in front of you yours may be
[0:59] white mine is black because I have it in
[1:02] dark mode if you prefer dark mode you
[1:04] can activate this by going into file in
[1:07] the upper left hand corner going to
[1:09] environment settings and then changing
[1:11] the color theme to dark right here hit
[1:14] okay when you're done we have to start
[1:16] by pulling up our file go to file
[1:21] open and search for your newly
[1:23] downloaded pan tutorial
[1:26] PSD live2d cubism reads PSD files if you
[1:30] ever want to rig your own model in the
[1:31] future you must not only separate your
[1:33] artwork into different layers but you
[1:35] must save it as a PSD or photoshop
[1:38] document let's get acquainted with what
[1:41] has appeared on the screen to the right
[1:43] we have our Panda to the left we have
[1:45] our art folders right here if we click
[1:48] on this little arrow we can see the
[1:51] different folders that I have separated
[1:53] them into in my art program and to the
[1:57] bottom we have them just all Loosey
[1:59] goose
[2:00] that we can use under the little
[2:02] deformer tab here you can adjust your
[2:04] windows however you like but I believe
[2:06] mine are still set to the defaults so
[2:08] your screen should look pretty similar
[2:09] to this the first thing you want to do
[2:12] or at least what I like to do is click
[2:15] on this button right here it's this
[2:17] little grid icon in the middle it just
[2:20] makes the art a little bit easier to
[2:22] see we're also going to organize our
[2:25] model this is the first step when it
[2:27] comes to getting your model ready for
[2:30] rigging hold down the left click in the
[2:33] upper left hand corner and drag it down
[2:36] to the bottom hand corner of the artwork
[2:38] you're going to see that it's selected a
[2:40] bunch of different
[2:41] things then we're going to go to this
[2:44] button up here that says create warp
[2:46] deformer go ahead and click
[2:49] that and I like to call this the entire
[2:54] model hit create next what we're going
[2:57] to do is we're going to separate the
[2:59] head and the body individually in their
[3:01] own warp
[3:03] deformers now there are two ways to do
[3:05] this you can do the same hold left click
[3:09] and drag method to try to grab as much
[3:11] as the head or you can individually
[3:14] select the art over on the left side of
[3:18] the screen under deformers I prefer to
[3:21] do it under deformers because I tend to
[3:23] make less mistakes that way so in order
[3:26] to select the art that we want to have
[3:29] hold down the control button on your
[3:31] keyboard and just left click every mesh
[3:34] that the head has so this is going to be
[3:37] all of the eye layers all of the mouth
[3:41] layers The Head and the
[3:44] ear to check to make sure that you've
[3:47] grabbed every single layer you're
[3:49] supposed to you can move the head and if
[3:54] you've grabbed everything you needed to
[3:56] only the head should be moving to put
[3:59] the head back back where you want it to
[4:01] hold control and then hit
[4:03] C now once you have the head create
[4:07] another warp deformer and label it head
[4:10] to finish the rest of the organization
[4:12] for the body all you have to do is the
[4:15] exact same procedure except you're just
[4:18] going to do the body parts so I'm
[4:20] holding down control and left clicking
[4:22] the rest of the
[4:24] body to double check to make sure I have
[4:27] everything from the body I just move it
[4:29] to the left and the right to make sure I
[4:31] didn't accidentally grab any head layers
[4:33] which it doesn't look like I did hit
[4:36] contrl Z to put the head sorry the body
[4:39] back into place go back to this create
[4:42] warp deformer
[4:43] button and we'll label this the body
[4:47] this organizational method is going to
[4:50] make things so much easier for us when
[4:52] we really get into the nitty-gritty of
[4:54] rigging now that you have organized the
[4:57] head different from the body we're going
[4:59] to go up to file and we're going to hit
[5:02] save you're going to want to get into
[5:05] this habit of saving your model you do
[5:07] not have to name it anything fancy if
[5:09] you want to you can but you're going to
[5:12] want to save your model as much as
[5:15] possible just in case if your program
[5:17] crashes in the art meshes I used a
[5:20] technique called add glow this makes it
[5:23] so that the eye shines a bit but once
[5:25] you export a art piece into live 2D in
[5:30] any multiply or add glow layers will
[5:32] need to be told that they are actually a
[5:34] multiply layer or an add glow layer it's
[5:37] basically a shading effect we need to
[5:40] tell that this eye glow on both the left
[5:43] and the right eye are actually a glowing
[5:45] layer to do this we click on L glow for
[5:49] example go to
[5:52] inspector and then you can come down to
[5:54] the blend mode option right here right
[5:57] now it's listed as normal
[6:00] to change it back to how it was in the
[6:01] art we just select it to additive we'll
[6:05] do the same thing to the r i
[6:08] glow we just click on it change the
[6:10] blood mode to additive your artist
[6:13] should tell you in the layer itself
[6:16] whether a piece of art is a glow layer
[6:20] or an additive layer or a multiply layer
[6:23] so you know what you need to change with
[6:25] the artwork now we're not done with
[6:27] organization just yet now if you're on
[6:30] the free version you might be limited on
[6:32] the amount of warp deformers that you
[6:34] have access to but let's try to do as
[6:37] much as we can so we definitely want to
[6:40] separate the mouth into its own warp
[6:43] deformer so for the mouth layers we need
[6:45] to grab the upper lip lower lip upper
[6:48] skin lower skin upper teeth lower teeth
[6:51] and oral once you have all of these
[6:55] different um art layers go ahead and
[7:00] make another warp deformer and label it
[7:02] the mouth we're going to do the same
[7:04] with the eyes we're going to want to put
[7:05] them in its own little uh folder as well
[7:09] so grab our ey shine R ey glow R eyeball
[7:13] L ey shine L ey glow an L eyeball once
[7:17] you have that go to the create new work
[7:20] deformer and call it eyes if you want to
[7:23] do one for the ears you can as
[7:26] well just grab both the L ear and r ear
[7:29] ear and label it ears now let's break
[7:32] down some of the body into further
[7:34] organizational parts we can grab LF foot
[7:37] and R
[7:39] foot and call that feet we can grab L
[7:42] arm and R
[7:46] arm and call that the arms and we can
[7:49] grab the r-wing and the L wi and call
[7:52] that the
[7:53] wings that is probably as much as I
[7:57] would break down the organization of
[7:59] this specific pet model now that you
[8:01] have organized your deformers we want to
[8:04] organize our parameters which is this
[8:06] little box here you're going to see a
[8:08] bunch of different stuff like angles eye
[8:11] opens brows mouth Etc we're going to
[8:15] make folder so this is just a little bit
[8:16] easier to navigate especially if this is
[8:18] your first time rigging we don't want
[8:20] you to get lost so what we're going to
[8:22] do is we're going to click on angle X
[8:24] we're going to then rightclick it and
[8:26] we're going to get this menu to create a
[8:28] folder
[8:30] all we're going to do is we're going to
[8:31] call this head
[8:33] angles and we're going to push angle X
[8:37] angle Y and angle Z so now if we click
[8:40] on this folder it will drop down now if
[8:44] you want to make this look nicer you can
[8:47] rightclick this folder again and you can
[8:49] Auto change the color to one of the
[8:51] defaults or if you like to be a little
[8:53] fancier you can go to advanced settings
[8:55] and you can manually pick whatever color
[8:58] you want on the color wheel
[8:59] we've got a pink panda so we're going to
[9:02] make it Pink we're going to make a few
[9:04] folders now ahead of time so that when
[9:06] we get into rigging we are not slowed
[9:08] down we're going to right click again
[9:10] we're going to create a folder we're
[9:11] going to call it eyes for the eye folder
[9:15] I'm going to put in I open I open we can
[9:21] put in the I and IR smile eyeball X and
[9:25] Eyeball y for now it looks like a lot
[9:29] but it won't be too crazy and again we
[9:32] can go to advanced settings and you can
[9:35] choose whatever uh color you would like
[9:39] we do not have any eyebrows for this
[9:41] model so you do not have to worry about
[9:43] that but we do have a mouth so go ahead
[9:45] and create another
[9:47] folder we'll call this one the mouth
[9:49] you'll have to scroll down a bit to find
[9:51] the mouth form and the mouth open so
[9:54] let's go ahead and drag up mouth form
[9:57] and mouth open and we can put those in
[10:00] here we're almost there we're going to
[10:03] create two new folders we're going to
[10:05] create one called body and then for the
[10:09] body we're going to grab the body X and
[10:13] body Y and then we're going to create
[10:16] another folder and we're going to call
[10:18] it
[10:21] breathing all right you're going to have
[10:24] this parameter called breath that you're
[10:26] going to want to grab for breathing and
[10:29] we'll tuck it right in there all right
[10:31] congratulations you are done with the
[10:33] organization part of your model make
[10:35] sure that you save so you don't lose
[10:37] your work which you can either do the
[10:39] shortcut contrl s or go to file and hit
[10:42] save next we are going to do your very
[10:45] first rigging movement which is actually
[10:47] a really simple one it'll be done super
[10:50] super quick so at the very beginning I
[10:52] had you select the entire model and make
[10:54] a work deformer called entire model this
[10:57] is actually going to be our very first
[11:00] movement if you are on the paid version
[11:03] or on a free trial go ahead and click on
[11:05] entire
[11:07] model select a new deformer and call it
[11:12] breathing this isn't necessary which is
[11:15] why I say if you're on the paid version
[11:17] go ahead and do this you can still do
[11:19] this method even if you just do it on
[11:22] the entire
[11:23] model click on the breathing parameter
[11:27] and go up here where it says add two key
[11:30] frames it's this one with two little
[11:31] dots right under the inspector
[11:34] Tab and then once you're here you're
[11:37] going to
[11:38] slide your little red dot all the way
[11:41] over to the right and then you're going
[11:43] to have two little boxes you're going to
[11:46] have a green box that's around the panda
[11:48] and then a red box I like to grab the
[11:50] red box which you'll know the difference
[11:53] because your mouse will look like this
[11:54] with a little four cross on the green
[11:57] box and your mouse will look just with
[12:00] like a two like a little line on the red
[12:04] box all you're going to do is you're
[12:06] going to move the panda up slightly and
[12:09] I mean very very slightly make it subtle
[12:11] when you've made that movement you can
[12:13] test it very briefly in this window by
[12:16] just moving your slider back and forth
[12:19] and you can see that the panda looks to
[12:21] be moving up and down now if you want to
[12:23] ever test what physics or movements
[12:26] you've done you go up to this menu the
[12:29] upper left that says modeling click on
[12:32] it and then go to the bottom that says
[12:33] physics
[12:34] settings now breathing is an automatic
[12:37] parameter that already moves so whatever
[12:39] we set to it is going to move already we
[12:42] don't have to do anything fancy and here
[12:44] we can see with the subtle movement that
[12:46] we've done just by dragging that red box
[12:48] up a little the panda looks like it has
[12:50] some life into it it's already moving up
[12:53] and down slightly as if it was breathing
[12:56] and just like that you've rigged your
[12:58] very first movement now it is time for
[13:01] us to tackle the head angles so for this
[13:05] we can either click right on the head
[13:08] here you can find the head in the little
[13:11] art Parts up here or you can find the
[13:14] head in the deformer tab there are
[13:16] multiple ways that we can get to the
[13:18] head so once we're on the head what
[13:20] we're going to do is we're going to go
[13:22] to the auto button up here this is
[13:23] called the automatic mesh generator
[13:26] everything that we mesh is going to help
[13:28] us move in this
[13:30] program we'll get to this menu here and
[13:33] then we'll have this preset for this
[13:36] video and to help you get used to this
[13:38] we're going to be using a
[13:41] standard preset for almost everything go
[13:45] ahead and hit standard and then hit X
[13:48] this applies the standard mesh
[13:49] automatically for us what we're going to
[13:51] do is open our head angles folder and
[13:55] we're going to create a new warp
[13:57] deformer and we're going to call this
[13:59] the actual
[14:01] head now what we're going to do is we're
[14:03] going to go to angle X and we're going
[14:05] to add three key forms for breathing we
[14:08] did two but for this we're going to do
[14:10] three that is because the Panda's going
[14:13] to be looking straight at us in the
[14:14] neutral position but then we now need to
[14:16] add it looking to the right and it
[14:19] looking to the left okay what we're
[14:21] going to do is we're going to
[14:24] grab grab our little parameter here and
[14:27] move it all the way over to the right
[14:28] this is a mistake I made a lot when I
[14:31] was first starting is I forgot to move
[14:33] my parameters when I was about to do a
[14:35] rigging motion so make sure it is moved
[14:37] all the way over to the right then we're
[14:39] going to go to the actual Panda and
[14:41] we're going to hold shift and then move
[14:45] the head to the right we hold shift so
[14:48] that it doesn't accidentally go up or
[14:50] down it keeps it on the
[14:52] x-axis and then if we move this over
[14:55] it'll show that just the head is moving
[14:57] to the right it may look a little a
[14:59] little awkward because the eyes don't
[15:00] move with it the ears and the mouth
[15:02] don't move with it and that's okay
[15:04] because we're only moving the the actual
[15:06] literal head part right
[15:08] now then once we do this we have to show
[15:12] that the the side of the head is moving
[15:14] backward a little bit right so in order
[15:16] to give this effect we're going to hold
[15:19] left click and
[15:21] push the
[15:23] middle the bottom and the top of the
[15:27] head in a bit the middle will probably
[15:30] be the one that's pushed in the
[15:32] most and then if you want to take a look
[15:35] you get a little bit of a curvature
[15:37] effect here again it's going to look a
[15:40] little weird because the other parts of
[15:41] the face aren't moving with it yet so
[15:44] what we're going to do is instead of
[15:46] manually doing the same thing for the
[15:48] left we can actually tell the program to
[15:51] reflect it over for us so we're going to
[15:53] keep our DOT over to the right and we're
[15:56] going to go down to this three line or
[15:58] Hamburg menu that says show pallet menu
[16:01] we click on this and then we get this
[16:03] menu that says reflect motion we can
[16:06] click on that it tells us what we're on
[16:08] which is the actual head and we can
[16:09] choose to reflect horizontally or
[16:11] vertically we want to reflect
[16:13] horizontally hit okay so
[16:17] now without having to manually do it
[16:20] which would cause a lot of issues it
[16:22] probably wouldn't line up perfectly the
[16:25] program is smart enough to realize hey
[16:27] we can do that for you so before we go
[16:30] and move everything else on the x-axis I
[16:32] like to just jump right right to moving
[16:35] the head on the y axis so what we're
[16:38] going to do is we're going to click on
[16:40] the x axis one more this little button
[16:44] here that lets you input a number and
[16:46] just set it to zero so it's back in the
[16:48] neutral position then we're going to go
[16:50] to angle Y and hit three new key
[16:53] parameters again or three new key forms
[16:56] my apologies then we're going to move
[16:59] all the way to the right now when the
[17:01] for the Y AIS moving the dot to the
[17:05] right means you're looking up that'll be
[17:07] when the O's looking up and then moving
[17:09] it all the way to the left is when it's
[17:11] looking down so for looking up all we're
[17:15] going to
[17:16] do is we're just going to hold shift
[17:19] again and push it up a bit I also like
[17:21] to grab this little dot here on the
[17:24] middle and hold shift and push this up a
[17:27] little bit as well
[17:29] and then if we take a look I like to do
[17:33] that then now for the x axis I showed
[17:36] you that you could reflect horizontally
[17:37] and vertically I actually don't like to
[17:40] do that for the Y AIS I prefer to
[17:42] manually do it so if you want to you can
[17:46] hit the hamburger menu and do reflect
[17:50] vertically I prefer to do it manually so
[17:53] for the angle y i just scoot My Little
[17:55] Dot all the way over hold shift push
[17:58] push it down this time and then hold
[18:01] shift again and push down the Green
[18:05] Dot and now I have my little head motion
[18:09] there we have one last part of the head
[18:11] before we can move on to the ears and
[18:13] the eyes and the mouth and get
[18:15] everything moving together click on the
[18:17] little numerical value on the right set
[18:19] it to zero then we're going to go back
[18:21] to the pallet menu here and there will
[18:23] be something called synthesize Corners
[18:26] go ahead and click on that make sure
[18:28] parameter 1 says angle X and parameter 2
[18:31] says angle y then we hit okay what this
[18:34] does is it syncs up these two parameter
[18:37] so that it'll flow nicely so what we can
[18:40] do is on the far left here right before
[18:43] the text is we can click on it and it'll
[18:46] merge the two together so if I move the
[18:50] dot around in this little grid it'll
[18:53] show us that the head is moving around
[18:57] now if you want to get fan see some
[18:59] people will get really intricate with
[19:01] their head motions and their mouth and
[19:04] edit it but as this is a beginner's
[19:06] first rig tutorial I'm not going to get
[19:08] into that we're just trying to make sure
[19:10] that the head can move around now let's
[19:13] do the ears so I had you put the ears in
[19:18] a warp deformer first that is because
[19:21] this will allow us to move both ears at
[19:23] once but before you move the ears we
[19:26] still want to add an art mesh to them
[19:29] so what we can do is we can grab the L
[19:32] ear and then we hold on to control and
[19:34] grab the r ear this will allow us to
[19:36] mesh both of them at the same time then
[19:39] we go to up to this button that says
[19:40] Auto which is our automatic mesh
[19:42] generator we can go ahead and hit
[19:44] standard again and then there we have it
[19:47] they are already meshed and ready to go
[19:50] now you could go to the warp deformer
[19:52] and try to move meshes without having
[19:55] them properly or try to move our part
[19:58] without having the mesh I've done that
[20:01] before and it it just it can get goofy
[20:05] we're going to repeat a lot of the
[20:07] similar processes we just did for the
[20:09] head so go ahead and go to angle X and
[20:12] add three key forms make sure you move
[20:15] the Red Dot over to the right and once
[20:18] again I'm going to hold shift grab this
[20:21] little thing in the middle scoot the ear
[20:24] over then I'm going to grab this Green
[20:27] Dot and just tuck it in
[20:30] and as for how much or how little you
[20:32] want to tuck something in that's really
[20:34] up to you what do you think is going to
[20:37] help you achieve that turning effect and
[20:41] then of course you can check it I think
[20:42] I want to tuck this ear in even
[20:44] [Music]
[20:46] more to help with that
[20:49] turning and the more pieces you start to
[20:52] turn the more uh the the head turn will
[20:57] come together and of course um you can
[21:00] go back and adjust these as you go reset
[21:03] this back to
[21:04] neutral go to the angle y do the same
[21:08] thing I'm just going to scoot the ear up
[21:10] a
[21:11] bit push it
[21:13] up scoot the ear down a bit scoot it
[21:18] down and then synthesize the corners by
[21:21] going to that same menu hitting
[21:22] synthesized Corners we still want angle
[21:25] X and Y hit okay and then there you have
[21:30] it the ears are now moving with the head
[21:34] now maybe we want to do some eyes so we
[21:38] can go and find our eyes hold down
[21:41] control and grab every single eye art
[21:44] piece you can do the standard mesh again
[21:48] I'm going a little bit faster because as
[21:50] you begin to repeat these processes
[21:52] you'll start to get the hang of it a
[21:54] little bit more and then I had you put
[21:57] eyes in a warp deformer this is why I
[21:59] like warp deformers because they make
[22:02] doing these motions a lot easier so
[22:04] you're not moving every individual art
[22:06] piece over you're instead moving like a
[22:08] group of art
[22:10] pieces so for this you have the little
[22:15] uh Pink part of the panda's fur to help
[22:18] guide you on like where the eye should
[22:21] go so you're not scooting it over too
[22:24] much or too little which I hope will uh
[22:28] help
[22:29] you when it comes
[22:32] to the Head turns and you can of course
[22:36] reflect this on the eye as well and
[22:39] we'll want to do the same thing for
[22:41] angle
[22:48] [Music]
[22:54] Y and then synthesize the corners once
[22:58] again
[22:59] let's go ahead and do the nose
[23:01] next so grab the
[23:04] nose if you're on the paid version go
[23:07] ahead and give it a warp deformer even
[23:11] if you're on the free version try to
[23:13] create as many warp deformers as you can
[23:15] until you run out of space or until it
[23:18] won't let you do it anymore and again
[23:21] we're going to add a standard mesh to
[23:24] the
[23:25] nose now the nose is really the part
[23:28] that's going to help us create that
[23:31] movement of the face
[23:34] turning so we're going to just do the
[23:36] same thing we're going to scoot the nose
[23:38] over however when the face turns the
[23:41] nose does a lot of the Turning too so
[23:44] something that we can do to
[23:46] really
[23:47] help show this is we can just push the
[23:51] mesh over like this maybe we even move
[23:54] the middle piece of the mesh
[23:57] too maybe maybe not that far but you
[24:01] know just to show like wow it's
[24:04] moving and of course we can adjust it
[24:07] more as we need to Let's reflect it for
[24:13] now and then we'll do the up and the
[24:16] down
[24:33] synthesize them let's do the mouth now
[24:37] the mouth is going to require a lot of
[24:40] intricate meshing so we're actually not
[24:43] going to mesh the mouth right now we're
[24:44] just going to try to get it into a nice
[24:48] position so for this you can just grab
[24:50] the mouth warp deformer you made make
[24:53] your three key form scoot it over and
[24:56] then try to find a nice position for the
[25:01] mouth I like to curl it up a little bit
[25:03] with my mesh like
[25:07] this then we'll do the angle y
[25:12] version which will just be pushing up
[25:14] the mouth a little bit and then pushing
[25:17] down the
[25:19] mouth yeah and of course synthesize the
[25:23] corners once more let's go ahead and
[25:26] check our work and see how well we did
[25:29] or what little edits that need to be
[25:32] made once again we go to modeling at the
[25:33] upper left corner here physics settings
[25:37] now we have her breathing that
[25:38] automatically shows but in order to make
[25:40] the model turn its head and whatnot we
[25:42] just grab our Mouse hold down left click
[25:46] and then move it
[25:47] around so I see
[25:50] here that the head turn that I made was
[25:53] pretty subtle like yes the head turns
[25:55] but it's not a very dramatic head turn
[25:57] and hon hly if you want if you like this
[26:01] type of head turn that's fine you don't
[26:03] have to make it super dramatic you know
[26:05] depending on the model some people have
[26:07] like really really stunning head turns
[26:09] and they're able to get a very dramatic
[26:12] range and some are very subtle like this
[26:15] I'm going to go ahead and keep it subtle
[26:17] as head turns are a lot tougher than
[26:19] they look but of course if you want to
[26:22] like really tuck this ear behind and
[26:24] make this ear stick out you can you can
[26:26] play with it if you would like
[26:28] there is one last part to the head that
[26:31] I would like to do with you so we're
[26:33] going to grab the head warp deformer not
[26:37] the actual head that we did together but
[26:39] the head and we're going to go up here
[26:43] to this one that says create rotation
[26:46] deformer we can go ahead and label this
[26:49] head
[26:51] Z it's going to create this little
[26:53] symbol here go ahead and hold control
[26:57] shift and drag it down just underneath
[27:01] the line that's at the bottom of the
[27:03] head then we can go hit angle Z of our
[27:07] head angles this is a really cute and
[27:10] fun movement you can do and it's really
[27:12] simple once you have this setup go ahead
[27:14] and select three key forms move it to
[27:18] the right and then you'll have this
[27:20] little like curved line that appears at
[27:22] the
[27:23] edge and go ahead and tilt the Panda's
[27:26] head as much as you want now don't go
[27:28] too far because the body is only drawn
[27:31] so much to the back but feel free to
[27:35] just give it like a little head tilt and
[27:37] just like we have in the past you you
[27:40] can go to this little pallet menu
[27:43] reflect motion
[27:44] horizontally and now your Panda can do
[27:48] little head tilts back and forth
[27:51] rotation deformers like this are really
[27:54] good for the Z movement and it's
[27:56] honestly a really cute movement that you
[27:58] can do on humans too and it's also
[28:00] really good for wings and at the very
[28:03] end of the video if you feel confident
[28:05] with rigging I'll show you how to do
[28:07] some Wing some very simple uh Wing
[28:10] rigging which is why I included them as
[28:13] like a little fun extra challenge for
[28:14] you so stay tuned to the end if you want
[28:17] to give yourself a little challenge all
[28:20] right so now you have your head
[28:22] movements done we've got a z movement
[28:26] we're going to work on the eyes next and
[28:28] the eyes are going to be pretty
[28:32] interesting and they're not going to be
[28:33] super tough with the way I've drawn this
[28:35] model so you can go ahead and pick
[28:37] whether you want the right eye or the
[28:39] left eye whichever one suits your fancy
[28:43] I'm going to work on this ey which is
[28:45] the model's left it's our right the
[28:47] model's
[28:49] left now again if you have warped
[28:52] deformers to spare go ahead and put the
[28:55] left eye in its own
[28:57] deformer it just it helps to be
[28:59] organized and you'll find as you
[29:02] continue to rig that you'll find your
[29:05] level of organization if you're someone
[29:07] who likes to be very meticulous or
[29:09] someone who is okay with being a bit
[29:11] looser you'll find you'll find what
[29:14] level works best for you but we'll go
[29:16] ahead and put the left eye which is the
[29:18] LI eye shine L eye glow and the L eye
[29:21] ball in its own uh deformer for now next
[29:24] what we're going to do is we're going to
[29:26] grab the LI shine and the Li glow go
[29:29] ahead and hold control to grab both of
[29:31] these hit inspector and then we see this
[29:35] clipping ID option right here go ahead
[29:38] and click that it's going to pull up all
[29:41] of our art layers we're going to scroll
[29:45] until we see the eyes which is actually
[29:46] the very first thing and we're going to
[29:49] clip it to the L eye ball clipping the
[29:51] LI ey shine and the LI ey glow is going
[29:53] to make this next part so much easier
[29:55] what you're going to do is you're going
[29:56] to add two key forms to the LI open and
[30:00] then you're going to keep the Red Dot to
[30:02] the left you'll see this red box appear
[30:05] around your eye which is what we
[30:08] want and what we're going to do is we're
[30:10] going to
[30:11] squish it down from the front and then
[30:14] we're going to squish this down from the
[30:17] bottom and we're going to go ahead and
[30:19] get it pretty close so that when we have
[30:22] our movement it looks like the panda is
[30:25] squishing its eyes shut now with human
[30:28] model you're going to have eyelashes and
[30:31] those eyelashes are going to help you
[30:32] create that closed look but for this
[30:35] little Panda I made the eyes very very
[30:37] simple so you can just get an idea of
[30:39] what it's like to move the top part of
[30:42] the eye down and the bottom part of the
[30:44] eye up so you can create a nice little
[30:47] blinking motion now that we have your
[30:50] eyes squished together for this blinking
[30:54] motion I'm going to actually introduce
[30:56] to you your first met physics and that
[30:59] is going to be with the LI I glow and
[31:02] the LI I shine so for this what we're
[31:06] going to do is we're going to create a
[31:08] parameter and we're going to call this I
[31:11] jiggle X you want the minimum to be -30
[31:15] and the maximum to be -30 hit
[31:19] okay we're also going to create a
[31:22] parameter we're going to call this I
[31:25] jiggle y same minimum and maximum
[31:29] we have the LI glow for the X1 we are
[31:33] squishing from left to right so you can
[31:36] choose how much you want to squish it
[31:39] I'm just going
[31:40] [Music]
[31:42] to see I made that mistake I mentioned
[31:45] at the beginning of the video make sure
[31:46] you add two key forms um with the L eye
[31:49] glow a red box is going to
[31:52] appear you can squish it as much or as
[31:55] little as you want just make sure you
[31:56] drag the Red Dot over to the right
[31:59] before you make your movement and do the
[32:02] same with the L shine if you want to
[32:05] make the movement a little bit more
[32:06] interesting squish one a little bit more
[32:09] than the
[32:10] other so I chose to squish my li glow
[32:14] layer more than the LI shine layer do
[32:17] the same thing with the I jiggle y
[32:19] parameter you just made except now
[32:23] you're going to be squishing up and
[32:26] down so squishing this one up and down
[32:30] and I'm going to do the same thing here
[32:32] make sure you add your two key forms and
[32:34] move your dot all the way over to the
[32:36] right as you do
[32:39] this all right so now they are moving up
[32:42] and down and then you'll want to
[32:45] synthesize your Corners like we've been
[32:47] doing make sure it says parameter 1 is I
[32:49] jiggle X and parameter 2 is I jiggle y
[32:53] you'll want to synthesize them
[32:58] all
[33:00] right once you have done that I'm going
[33:02] to show you how to set it up in the
[33:07] model so when you create physics they're
[33:10] not going to automatically apply so if
[33:13] you want to test out your blink you can
[33:15] go to the iil and
[33:17] just test it out for yourself like this
[33:20] by moving the slider or you can go to
[33:23] this little box this says pattern a and
[33:25] then scroll down and hit posing and then
[33:27] there's this little play button here and
[33:29] once you hit the play button it will
[33:31] actually play all of the different
[33:32] things you've rigged so far on your
[33:34] model and then hopefully there we go
[33:37] it'll do the blink and you can see how
[33:39] the model's moving so far I'm going to
[33:42] go ahead and hit pause I'm actually
[33:44] going to reopen it so it's back in the
[33:46] neutral position and what we're going to
[33:48] do is you're going to see this this
[33:50] whole menu it's it's dulled right now
[33:54] we're going to hit add we're going to
[33:56] call this I
[33:58] Jiggles we're going to hit add and we
[34:01] want this to jiggle whenever the I and
[34:04] the IR open happens we're going to
[34:07] change the effectiveness to 50 and for
[34:09] this section feel free to copy
[34:12] everything I do as
[34:14] is then for the pendulum go ahead and
[34:17] just hit add it'll add a default
[34:20] setting for the output we want the
[34:23] outputs to be our I jiggle X and the I
[34:26] jiggle y because that's that's what we
[34:28] had rigged for the
[34:30] physics now in order to test this we go
[34:33] to our eyes again and we just move this
[34:35] parameter right right now nothing's
[34:38] really happening that's because our
[34:40] output and our scale is really really
[34:42] low to change that we just hit the
[34:45] increase output button and now we'll see
[34:47] that this has changed to an output of
[34:49] 100 and a scale of about 33 let's do
[34:52] this again now you can
[34:55] see let me really zoom in on the eye
[34:59] here that the eye has a subtle jiggle
[35:02] whenever you open and close it now here
[35:06] once again this is the very very basic
[35:08] way of doing this but this is where you
[35:11] can add different levels to the pendulum
[35:15] you can choose how long it lasts for how
[35:17] much it shakes down here the reaction
[35:19] time to get different effects you can
[35:23] choose how many pendulums you want so if
[35:25] we add another pendulum you can see like
[35:29] the little difference there so again
[35:31] this is once you have this basic set up
[35:34] here you can start to play with it to
[35:36] see the different
[35:37] effects and and see what you can do but
[35:42] congratulations you have just not only
[35:45] rigged your first physic parameter but
[35:47] you made your first little physics piece
[35:50] now it is time to make the other eye
[35:52] match now if you're on the free version
[35:55] you might have to manually do everything
[35:57] we just did did again however I
[36:00] encourage you to try to follow along
[36:01] with the steps I'm about to show you in
[36:03] case the free version does let you
[36:05] repeat these steps I genuinely don't
[36:07] know but what I'm about to show you will
[36:10] let you have the eyes match each other
[36:12] perfectly without having to redo
[36:14] everything again so we've been working
[36:17] on this eyeball what we're going to do
[36:19] is we're going to hold control and left
[36:23] click the L eyeball the L eye glow L ey
[36:26] shine and the left eye deformer we
[36:29] created then we're going to go to the
[36:31] main eyes deformer that we created
[36:34] earlier what we've done is we selected
[36:36] the art meshes from before and the whole
[36:39] art layer that the eyes is attached to
[36:42] or the deformer then we're going to hold
[36:45] contrl C and contrl V to copy and paste
[36:48] the I we just
[36:50] did then what we can do is right
[36:53] click go to the very bottom I know my
[36:56] model is covering it but at the very
[36:58] very bottom there's a there's a menu
[37:00] that says reflect you're going to hit
[37:03] reflect all right and it'll let you
[37:05] choose what parameters to reflect you're
[37:08] going to hit angle X and I jigle X and
[37:12] then hit
[37:13] okay and this is how you make your eyes
[37:16] match once your eyes
[37:19] match you can delete the parameters from
[37:24] the r eyeball you can delete R eyeball r
[37:27] i glow and R I shine that was there as
[37:31] just a placeholder to make sure that you
[37:32] did it right now it actually turns out I
[37:35] made a mistake the ey Jiggles are
[37:39] backwards so this just tells me I did an
[37:42] oopsie I checked out the I checked the I
[37:45] jiggle X when I shouldn't have and if
[37:48] you did that same thing don't worry
[37:50] because you can go back and fix it if
[37:52] you hit contrl Z you can undo mistakes
[37:55] that you've made but do not spam contrl
[37:58] Z because you might actually undo good
[38:01] work you've done so just slowly undo
[38:04] contrl Z until you're back to this point
[38:07] where you have to reflect the
[38:08] eye hit right click again
[38:12] reflect do hit angle X but don't hit
[38:15] Iggle X and then you can test it again
[38:18] and there we go we're on the same page
[38:21] now that you know how you can fix a
[38:23] mistake what we're going to do now is we
[38:26] want the Cana to be able to wink at us
[38:29] so before we click off of
[38:31] this what we're going to do is we're
[38:33] going to go to the I open and we if we
[38:37] scroll all the way over to the right we
[38:38] get this little menu there's a Green Dot
[38:41] with a plus gray one with a minus and
[38:44] then we have this little menu we're
[38:45] going to go to the bottom and select
[38:47] change and this will allow us to move it
[38:49] to I are open which will let us
[38:54] wink now we can go ahead and delete the
[38:57] the r ey shine r i glow and the r
[39:00] eyeball now we can clearly
[39:03] see the panda is able to wink let's go
[39:06] ahead and just take a look at our work
[39:09] modeling physics setting we can go up to
[39:12] pattern a here hit posing and then hit
[39:15] the play
[39:18] button right now it's just tilting its
[39:21] head a bit I'm waiting for the blink and
[39:23] there you go we can see the subtle bit
[39:25] of the eye Jiggles which are the physics
[39:27] that we we put in
[39:29] congratulations you have done your eyes
[39:31] and you've even figured out some IE
[39:33] jiggle physics you'll probably see that
[39:35] in your eye folder we didn't touch eye
[39:38] Smiles or eyeball X and Y eyeball X is
[39:43] when the eyeball itself is when your
[39:45] eyes move left and right eyeball y
[39:48] That's when they move up and down for a
[39:51] model like this there's not really a
[39:54] whole lot going on that can make the
[39:56] eyes move that way but for a human model
[39:58] you'll probably move it that way I'm
[40:01] going to show you what it would look
[40:02] like if you wanted to do these motions
[40:05] but they're not going to be rigged on
[40:07] this Panda model but essentially if you
[40:09] wanted to do eyeball X or Y it's quite
[40:12] literally this simple you just hold down
[40:15] the shift move it to the right move it
[40:18] to the
[40:20] left if you want to do eyeball y you
[40:22] move it up and then you move it down and
[40:26] you synthesize the corner corers which
[40:27] is what I've been showing you multiple
[40:29] times throughout the video and there's
[40:31] your eyeball X and Y let's work on our
[40:33] arms shall we so typically when it comes
[40:36] to the body you'll be moving stuff on a
[40:38] human model like clothes and arms and
[40:41] whatnot now for arms like these these
[40:43] are in front of the body so instead of
[40:45] showing you how to like put one arm in
[40:47] front of the other I'm just going to
[40:49] show you a cute little motion you can do
[40:52] so we can go to our arm deformer grab
[40:55] our L arm and R arm
[40:57] standard mesh
[41:00] it pick whichever arm you want to work
[41:02] on whether it be L arm or R arm I'll do
[41:05] the left and I'm going to show you to
[41:08] create a rotation
[41:10] deformer you don't have to name it if
[41:12] you don't want to I'm not going to hold
[41:14] down
[41:16] control and move this keep holding down
[41:19] control and this will allow you to
[41:21] change the direction in which your
[41:23] rotation deformer
[41:26] is now now what you can do is I'll I'll
[41:29] do this on body X create three key
[41:34] forms move it to the right move this
[41:36] slightly
[41:38] up and then move this slightly
[41:43] down now your arm will move slightly up
[41:47] and
[41:48] down now if you do not want to redo this
[41:52] little tiny motion you do the same thing
[41:55] I did with the eyes you you make sure
[41:57] you have arms rotation highlighted hold
[41:59] down control grab the larm grab the
[42:02] whole warp deformer the arms are
[42:05] inrl c crl v to copy paste right click
[42:09] get the whole model hit
[42:12] reflect hit
[42:14] okay and now the arms will move slightly
[42:18] once you've confirmed that everything
[42:20] looks okay go ahead and delete the right
[42:24] arm go to modeling physics settings
[42:27] and now whenever the model looks left
[42:31] and right the arms will also move up and
[42:34] down I'm going to go ahead and do the
[42:37] same thing with the feet because this
[42:39] will just add a little extra motion to
[42:40] the model and it's a simple motion you
[42:42] can do too so grab the feet again give
[42:46] it a not that menu give it a standard
[42:50] mesh pick which foot you want to work
[42:53] with I'll grab this one grab the
[42:56] rotation to form armor hold control move
[42:59] it where you want it to go keep holding
[43:01] control to change the
[43:03] direction I'm going to do it on body X
[43:07] again three key forms I'm going to have
[43:11] the foot go
[43:13] out and then the foot go
[43:18] in and then grab the feet
[43:22] rotation grab the left foot grab the
[43:25] whole feet warp deformer you made contrl
[43:29] Ctrl V right click reflect
[43:37] okay it actually looks like the panda is
[43:40] now tagging its
[43:41] feet go ahead and delete the right foot
[43:45] that you no longer need now if we check
[43:47] our work we got a little bit of body
[43:50] movement now it's not a ton but this
[43:53] body was drawn in a way to where you
[43:54] wouldn't need a lot of body MO
[43:58] movement so now let's work on the mouth
[44:01] and the mouth is one of the most complex
[44:05] part of a model in my opinion but when
[44:08] it comes to a pet model I just wanted to
[44:11] show you some of the basics that goes
[44:14] into mouth riging and so that's what
[44:17] we're going to focus
[44:18] on so this part instead of standard
[44:22] meshing which you can do if you do not
[44:24] want to manually mesh it you could
[44:25] standard mesh it if you want but I I
[44:27] want you to not be afraid of manually
[44:29] meshing where you need to so I'm going
[44:31] to show you how to do that the manually
[44:33] mesh it's right next to the standard
[44:35] mesh it's just the one over we're going
[44:38] to go ahead and click it what we're
[44:40] going to do is we're going to grab the
[44:41] lasso tool which is right under tool
[44:44] details here grab this whole thing with
[44:47] the upper lip that we're on and delete
[44:50] it then we're going going to go to the
[44:52] plus button right now there's not a
[44:55] whole lot going on but we're going to
[44:56] hit this box that says mirror edit now
[45:00] there's a line here so that we only have
[45:02] to create half of the little
[45:04] vertices I like to start in the center
[45:07] and work on the
[45:09] top this is going to give us so much
[45:12] more control over the
[45:14] mouth you can choose how close or how
[45:18] far you want to put the dots but I like
[45:21] to put them decently close together for
[45:23] the
[45:24] mouth I also like to put put dots right
[45:29] on the actual mouth
[45:32] itself and then once I get a piece that
[45:36] I'm happy with make sure that everything
[45:38] is closed then you can hit
[45:40] autoconnect and the check
[45:43] mark you did a manual mesh it seems a
[45:47] little crazy at first but it's actually
[45:48] not too bad once you have this manual
[45:52] mesh you can go and hit the last so tool
[45:55] again this might not be a available on
[45:57] the free version so let me know but what
[46:00] you can do is you can hit contrl + C to
[46:03] copy
[46:04] this go to the lower lip do the lasso
[46:08] tool just like last time and delete the
[46:10] vertices from before and then hit contrl
[46:12] + V now the vertices are exactly the
[46:14] same as the one on the upper and the
[46:17] lower lip just for a bit more
[46:18] consistency if you were unable to do
[46:21] this step I just showed you don't worry
[46:23] it's not going to matter on a model like
[46:25] this but I just wanted to show you that
[46:27] this is very possible and it's going to
[46:28] be helpful if you go into rigging
[46:31] further now we have meshes like the
[46:33] upper skin and the lower skin that I
[46:35] want you to manually mesh as well again
[46:38] you could standard mesh it if you want
[46:41] but you'll have a lot more control over
[46:43] it if you manually mesh it
[46:46] yourself so here we are we're going to
[46:49] do the same method as before with the
[46:51] upper
[46:53] skin go to our plus button after we
[46:55] delete the four ver sees have our mirror
[46:58] edit which should automatically be on
[47:00] now cuz we clicked it
[47:02] before I like to start at the top and I
[47:05] like to have a lot of dots on the
[47:08] top and then as I get closer to the
[47:12] bottom I like to space them out
[47:14] more and it's okay if you are away from
[47:19] the actual art part that is
[47:23] fine then once I get here I just slow
[47:26] slly work my way
[47:29] up if I get to a point on the edge I can
[47:33] just go up here to the selection
[47:36] tool go back to the
[47:38] middle and then start working my way
[47:41] back up
[47:43] again this will help you have more
[47:46] control over your
[47:49] mesh I just want you to not be afraid to
[47:53] manually mesh especially because there
[47:56] are situations like the mouth where it
[47:59] can be very advantageous for you to do
[48:04] so once you feel like you've gotten a
[48:06] decent mesh go ahead and hit autoconnect
[48:09] and hit the check mark we're going to do
[48:11] the same thing with the lower skin exact
[48:14] same process I'll still walk you through
[48:17] it sometimes hearing the repetition can
[48:20] really help if you're feeling confident
[48:22] feel free to skip ahead in the video a
[48:23] little bit otherwise feel free
[48:27] to just listen along
[48:31] as I get these dots in there like see
[48:35] how I did this angle a little harsh
[48:37] again you can use contrl
[48:39] Z to undo some of the dots and again
[48:44] don't spam control Z I know it can be
[48:48] very tempting to just Spam control Z to
[48:52] get to a better place but I can tell you
[48:55] from experience I have b control
[48:58] Z way way too much and I have lost good
[49:01] work because I had gotten frustrated and
[49:05] just undid it this might help you it
[49:09] might not but I want you to have the
[49:11] confidence to be able to manually mesh
[49:14] when
[49:22] appropriate all right hit autoconnect
[49:24] when you're done now that you have your
[49:26] upper scale skin your lower skin lower
[49:28] lip and upper lip meshed it is time for
[49:31] me to introduce to you the deform path
[49:33] edit tool what this does is it gives us
[49:36] a line to work with when it comes to
[49:38] things like this so for a line like this
[49:41] it's squiggly I like to put a dot here
[49:44] here in the
[49:46] middle basically on each of the corners
[49:50] the
[49:51] middle and each in
[49:54] between do the same for the lower
[49:57] lip try to get it as close as you
[50:02] can and then for the upper
[50:05] skin do it to the edge of the mesh but
[50:08] you're still following that little wavy
[50:10] line format same with the lower skin
[50:13] except for doing it to the end of the
[50:17] mesh this is going to make opening the
[50:20] mouth easier for us so typically in
[50:23] order to get multiple mouth forms you
[50:25] you have the mouth open which is what
[50:28] we're going to rig here but you also
[50:30] have mouth forms which allows you to get
[50:31] different shapes like for example my
[50:33] model throughout this entire video
[50:34] you've probably seen
[50:36] it change into different shapes we are
[50:40] not going to be rigging any mouth forms
[50:42] I just want you to see what it's like to
[50:45] add art
[50:46] meshes and open the mouth once to get
[50:49] just one open form it'll be like a
[50:52] puppet in a
[50:53] way so what we're going to do is we're
[50:55] going to grab the low lower lip and
[50:57] we're going to change our tool to the
[50:59] arrow tool go ahead and add two key
[51:01] frames and move it all the way to the
[51:04] right then we're going to hold down
[51:05] shift and move down
[51:08] this lip
[51:10] line then we can use the green dots to
[51:13] our advantage to
[51:18] really
[51:19] [Music]
[51:21] curve this into a mouth shape that we
[51:24] like now this is where you can add the
[51:26] grid back remember how at the very
[51:28] beginning I said to get rid of it well
[51:30] this grid we can add back it's next to
[51:33] this button that says solo right here we
[51:35] can add that back to make sure that this
[51:38] is as symmetrical as we can get it so
[51:42] like we can make sure that this Green
[51:43] Dot is on this little line
[51:46] here you know just try to get it as
[51:48] close as we can and
[51:50] now we have this motion of the mouth
[51:54] opening but that's not enough because
[51:57] that all that does is open the line we
[51:58] need to see the mouth inside that we
[52:00] drew so now what we're going to do is
[52:03] the lower skin that we meshed we're
[52:05] going to go ahead and add two key frames
[52:07] again make sure we're on the far right
[52:09] we're going to use the arrow tool and
[52:11] open that mouth up yeah that's right
[52:15] we'll frame it to the lower lip we just
[52:19] created and then would you look at that
[52:22] there's our beautiful mouth we got the
[52:25] tongue we drew and even the lower teeth
[52:27] are showing a bit so
[52:31] now we've got this motion I'm going to
[52:34] go ahead and get rid of the grid again
[52:36] so you guys can see the art a bit more
[52:38] clearly but what if I what what if what
[52:41] if we can make this a little bit more
[52:44] interesting all right firstly the upper
[52:47] teeth are a little bit too high when
[52:49] this happens don't don't key it to
[52:51] anything if you want the upper teeth to
[52:53] show we can just push it down a little
[52:55] bit and there we go now the upper teeth
[52:58] will
[52:59] show okay cool we solved that problem
[53:03] but what if we want the lower teeth and
[53:05] the oral which is the back of the mouth
[53:07] to do a little bit something more
[53:10] interesting
[53:12] well go ahead and add it as our key
[53:18] frame and now whenever the mouth opens
[53:20] by just just all we did is I moved it
[53:23] down a little bit that's all I did I
[53:25] tucked it down it looks like when the
[53:28] jaw
[53:29] opens the mouth will slowly move down
[53:33] with it which gives it just that little
[53:35] bit of extra depth without having to go
[53:37] super crazy with any any rigging
[53:39] techniques I know it's been a while make
[53:41] sure you've been saving let's go ahead
[53:44] and go to
[53:46] modeling and let's go to posing and let
[53:49] it play now we have a mouth that moves
[53:53] you're pretty darn close there's one
[53:55] more thing I want to to show you that
[53:57] you can do to really bring this model to
[53:59] life there's one last raking motion I
[54:01] wanted to show you to really help bring
[54:04] this model together and that is bouncy
[54:07] physics so once again I'm going to be
[54:10] showing you the physics menu but before
[54:12] that we're going to create a parameter
[54:14] we're going to call this bounce X
[54:16] minimum of -30 maximum of
[54:18] 30 and bounce
[54:21] y remember at the beginning how I said
[54:24] to create a Warp deformer the entire
[54:26] model this is where it's be going to
[54:28] become handy again we're going to select
[54:31] the entire model we're going to go to
[54:33] bounce X do two key frames scoot it all
[54:38] the way over to the right and we're just
[54:40] going to push the model on the x-axis
[54:43] together it does not have to be
[54:45] symmetrical just as long as you got a
[54:48] squishing
[54:49] motion all right and you'll do the same
[54:52] with bounce y except I personally think
[54:55] bounce y better if you only squish it
[54:58] from the top because this panda is also
[55:01] sitting so it would be weird if the
[55:03] bottom squishes up with it so I like to
[55:06] just squish it from the top then go
[55:08] ahead and synthesize the
[55:11] corners if you want to see it in
[55:15] practice we got a little motion going
[55:17] here but once again when it comes to
[55:20] physics we do have to apply it to the
[55:22] menu so let's go to the physics setting
[55:24] menu and get that applied okay we're
[55:26] going to go hit add we're going to call
[55:29] this
[55:31] bounce we're going to add angle X and
[55:34] angle y change the effectiveness to 50
[55:38] for each make sure you hit enter so the
[55:40] numbers remember add a pendulum go to
[55:44] our output setting the output will
[55:46] always be the parameter you just worked
[55:49] on so our output will be the bounce X
[55:53] and the bounce y now right now nothing's
[55:55] really happening because again we need
[55:58] to go increase our
[56:03] output and look at that he is
[56:06] so so much more bouncy than before it
[56:10] just adds a little extra of flow to our
[56:13] little pet mascot if you want to see
[56:16] that play go ahead and hit posing and
[56:19] just watch him move and whenever he
[56:21] makes a dramatic movement to the left
[56:23] right up or down there will be a little
[56:25] bit of Squish up or down that just makes
[56:27] it feel a little bit more
[56:30] livik uh than before if you do not like
[56:33] how this motion turned out don't add it
[56:36] but if you do like it you can adjust
[56:39] again the intensity how much you want
[56:41] him to be squished or not
[56:44] congratulations you have completed your
[56:46] very first rig in live GD
[56:49] cism however I did mention if you wanted
[56:53] a challenge that I would show you how to
[56:55] rig some B bat wings so if you're here
[56:58] for the challenge if you're feeling
[56:59] confident feeling good let me show you
[57:01] how to rig some bat wings for the bat
[57:03] wings we're going to open the
[57:05] breathing parameter from
[57:08] before and we're going to go to either
[57:11] r-wing or l-wing once again you get to
[57:13] pick which one you you like better
[57:16] either way we're going to add a standard
[57:19] mesh to
[57:20] both then I'll be working on this Wing
[57:23] over here I I like to always work
[57:26] towards my right the model's left that's
[57:28] just how my brain works go ahead and add
[57:31] a rotation
[57:33] deformer hold
[57:35] control scoot it over keep holding
[57:38] control to change the
[57:40] direction now I'm going to add three key
[57:43] forms to breath which is something we've
[57:46] already worked on to get the panda to
[57:48] breathe up and down but when we move the
[57:51] Red Dot all the way to the right we are
[57:54] going to
[57:57] make the wing go up and then make the
[58:01] wing go
[58:03] down all
[58:06] right now this is a simple movement I've
[58:08] already shown you how to do you could
[58:10] leave it at this but what if you want to
[58:13] make the Batwing a little bit more
[58:15] interesting well let's create a
[58:18] parameter and call this batwing move
[58:23] minimum 30 maximum 30
[58:27] we're going to go to our elwing
[58:30] again add three key
[58:32] forms and then I'm going to introduce to
[58:34] you the deform brush tool what this does
[58:37] is it basically allows us to just squish
[58:41] things before we were always squishing
[58:43] things with a box around it but now you
[58:45] can manually squish things if you so
[58:49] desire so what we're going to do is with
[58:52] the Batwing the new batwing uh
[58:56] parameter you created when it's all the
[58:58] way to the right we're going to squish
[59:00] the wing outward as if the bat is
[59:04] stretching out its wings and this does
[59:07] not have to be
[59:08] perfect you want to try to keep it as
[59:11] smooth as you can but you might not be
[59:14] able
[59:15] [Music]
[59:17] to I just wanted to show you that this
[59:21] deform tool exists and you can also do
[59:24] this with a deformer box it might be
[59:27] easier to do with a deformer box but I
[59:30] want to show you that this little path
[59:32] tool exists so now it looks like the
[59:34] wing is being stretched outward now
[59:36] we're going to squish it inward like
[59:38] they're folding the wing in now
[59:40] typically you would have multiple layers
[59:42] here so you can help show that the wing
[59:47] is folding in on itself but this is one
[59:49] layer so we're just going to pull it in
[59:52] as much as we
[59:54] can by squishing
[59:57] [Music]
[60:04] this all right so just by squishing out
[60:08] squishing out squishing in once you have
[60:11] this this is where it gets a little bit
[60:14] interesting going to go to modeling go
[60:17] to physics settings now because it we
[60:20] rigged the rotation deformer on
[60:22] breathing it's already got that done in
[60:23] for us awesome
[60:26] what we're going to do is we're going to
[60:27] add a new physics menu and we're going
[60:30] to call this a
[60:32] Batwing we're going to hit add we're
[60:35] going to add our input as
[60:39] breathing we're going to have the
[60:40] effectiveness be 100 add a random
[60:43] pendulum so we just tell it to work and
[60:46] then we hit batwing move as our in as
[60:50] our output excuse
[60:52] me now it's not going to work at first
[60:55] cuz we need to increase our
[60:59] output but you see we're still we're
[61:01] still struggling it's not really showing
[61:03] a lot let's add another pendulum shall
[61:06] we still still not working here is where
[61:10] we're really going to have to mess with
[61:12] the numbers to see how we're going to be
[61:15] able to get this breathe out and in
[61:18] motion okay I did some of the number
[61:21] crunching off camera so that I wouldn't
[61:25] bore you with with some of the numbers
[61:27] we now have this little circular
[61:30] rotation so that it isn't just an up and
[61:33] down Movement we instead get just a
[61:35] little bit of extra curiosity going on
[61:38] here now is this the craziest movement
[61:40] out there no but it's something to add
[61:44] just a little bit of extra curiosity to
[61:47] your model if you would like to copy
[61:50] what I have down here you are absolutely
[61:53] able to do so if you'd like and you can
[61:55] also tell how much it's moving by
[61:58] checking your parameter here now I can
[62:00] see that it's not getting all the way to
[62:03] the stretch motion I have but it's
[62:06] definitely getting to the squished
[62:08] motion so just to give you a bit of an
[62:11] idea but once you have the wing to a
[62:15] rigging position that you enjoy we're
[62:18] going to do the same copy technique
[62:20] we've done this entire time so hold down
[62:23] control grab your wing your wing
[62:26] rotation and then the final Wing
[62:27] parameter you've been in crl + C contrl
[62:31] V right click
[62:36] reflect and you shouldn't have to change
[62:39] any you shouldn't have to do any extra
[62:42] reflecting should automatically go with
[62:44] it and then you can delete the right
[62:46] wing so you will no longer need it we
[62:49] can go to the physic
[62:51] settings and you will see the wings are
[62:54] now rigged so you've done the rigging
[62:57] you've made it this far what next well
[63:01] let's export
[63:03] it let's go ahead and close make sure
[63:06] you're saved what we're going to do is
[63:08] go to modeling
[63:11] texture edit texture
[63:13] Atlas so if you're in the free version
[63:16] the highest amount of pixels you'll be
[63:18] able to export is
[63:20] 248 that's fine this just means that
[63:24] when you zoom in your model it'll get
[63:26] pixelated the higher you export your
[63:28] model one the higher the resolution will
[63:32] be and the more you zoom in the better
[63:34] the quality will
[63:36] keep but but keep in mind better does
[63:41] not you know higher pixel does not
[63:42] always equal better if your PC is not
[63:44] the best you may want to export at a
[63:46] lower pixel amount so it does not
[63:48] explode your PC I will be exporting at
[63:51] 4,000 pixels cuz my PC can handle it and
[63:54] it tends to hold up pretty decently well
[63:56] when zoomed in if you're on the free
[63:58] version again you will only be able to
[64:00] do
[64:02] 2,000 go ahead and hit okay and let the

[64:38] tutorial all of the files associated
[64:41] with it and put it in this new folder
[64:43] you just
[64:44] made then you'll go into 52d studio and
[64:49] put this folder you just made into the
[64:52] live 2D model folder mine is clipped
[64:55] because I put so many models in there
[64:58] for testing but I'll show you how to
[65:00] find it real quick in vtube studio if
[65:03] you ever want to find data folders you
[65:07] just double click click on this gear
[65:10] icon and then if
[65:14] I scroll a little bit it's open data
[65:18] folder right here and then you'll be
[65:20] able to find the live 2D model folder
[65:22] where you will put your Panda uh folder
[65:25] that you just made go ahead and get vtu
[65:29] Studio up if you had it up and running
[65:31] before you'll have to restart it now
[65:33] that you have a new model on hand go
[65:36] ahead and click on change VTS model go

[65:56] there you have it here is the model you
[66:00] just rigged if it is your first time
[66:02] exporting a model to vtube Studio it's
[66:04] likely going to ask you for a webcam to
[66:07] set up or a phone for tracking but if
[66:10] you have set up models to vtu Studio
[66:12] before you may probably get the uh Auto
[66:17] setup feature and here is your
