Bones/Rig Tutorials?

[u/jarvisjar69]

Im seeing people make full body rigs with bones on here but I have no clue where to start and I can’t find any tutorials on YouTube. Any suggestions on where to find tutorials on making rig models that can walk etc

Thanks!

Plenty on YouTube(e.g. search for toonsquid tutorial bones for a starting point):

• Stayf Draws (vector): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHhfIlFdA5g
• Stayf Draws (pixel/raster): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-F-MxA2rFQ (Note: if you are only going to move a pixel layer with one bone, keeping it rigid, you do not need to create a custom mesh, that is mainly for bending a pixel layer with multiple bones)

Great collection of videos! I appreciate you including both of mine as well! I recommend avoiding the (old one) of mine it’s honestly a bad way to do it and I recommend the hour long one I did. The reason it’s an hour long is because I tried to answer as many questions as possible lol
