You must select the armature last to make it the parent.Īlso please note if you have problems with deformation you need to rest the rest position of the bones this is easily achieved by going to pose edit mode select all bones and CTRL -A then apply pose as rest position. ![]() Noob Note: The selection order is important in defining which object is the parent, so you cannot select both objects at the same time. The person (and hat) are now children of the armature. Select Armature Deform → With Automatic Weights. Now, select the Armature as well, so that it is the last object selected, and press Ctrl + P . Go back into Object Mode and select Block Dude (and the Hat, assuming you made one). Now, we need to parent the bones to the mesh. To make the naming easier switch to viewing the person from behind using Ctrl + Num1 .) Noob Note: When you are naming the bones remember that if you are looking at the person from the front, your left is the person's right. In the Bone context panel of the Properties window click the name field to edit the name. You may need to expand the Armature Object, Armature Data Object and any parent bones before being able to view the selected bone. In the Outliner, the bone you have selected will be visible with a circle around it. While in Edit mode, select the bone you want to rename. For example, my bones are named "Right Forearm", "Left Forearm", "Right Upper Arm", etc. Now, just to make things easier, we're going to name the bones. If your bone does not have the correct length, then change the size of the bone by moving one of the ends of the bone: switch to Edit Mode, select one of the ends of the bone, then move it using G . Now, we need to put the bone in Block Dude! Move and rotate the bone so that it's in the middle of Block Dude's chest. Now, let's put some bones on Block Dude! In Object Mode press Shift + A → Armature → Single Bone. This will allow the armature to show through other objects. Click "X-Ray" in the second field of buttons. In the properties panel under object there is a display menu. Note: An alternative to working in "wireframe mode" is to turn "X-Ray" on for the armature. You can do this by going to the Modifier context panel of the Properties window and deselecting the eye button. You may find it helpful to make the wireframe less complex by hiding the subsurface mesh. To toggle between "solid" and "wireframe", press Z . Otherwise, you will not be able to see the armatures when you place them. Noob note: You will be placing armatures ("bones") inside your humanoid, so you must work in "wireframe mode", not "solid mode". Scale the plane to an appropriate size and move it so that it is approximately underneath the person. You can add a plane by pressing Shift + A → Mesh → Plane. Here's our setup, with Block Dude standing on a plane. Open the model that you had created by the end of the Putting Hat on Person tutorial, or download a pre-made model from here. Go to the advanced animation page for a more comprehensive guide on this.įirst of all, we'll need a model to put some bones on! For this tutorial, we're going to use a humanoid model. Note: This just shows the basics of adding bones to an object.
