🧵 Rigging in Blender

Anonymous at Thu, 30 Dec 2021 07:09:12 UTC No. 872829

Rigging in Blender - Why is it such an absolute pain in the ass?

All I want is to be able to connect the little ball of one joint reliably to the little ball of another joint.

95% of times ctrl+P however asks wether I want to separate bones. If for some reason I randomly manage to perform the 20-step-selection ritual correctly and the 'parent keep offset' option appears, it ALWAYS 100% of the time parents the wrong ball to the wrong ball, sometimes even the wrong ball to a ball on a joint I didn't even select.

God help me please

select entire bones instead of the balls
it always connects the thick end of child bone to the thin end of parent bone
select child first and parent last
make sure your keyboard isn't crusty from layers of cum and cheeto dust because 'separate bones' is just p, not ctrl+p

methinks the problem is in what's between your chair and screen.

you're getting "separate" because you can't press ctrl right.
you don't parent joints. you parent bones.
bones are a hierarchy. direction matters.
joints work as "vertices" for snapping purposes, so you can vertex-snap one joint to another, then parent or whatever.

This is why rigging in Blender SUCKS DICK.
>oh, your piece of geometry needs to pivot from a single point? Nah sorry, we don't do that here. Everything is built out of directional segments with a start and an end point.
Fucking retarded bullshit and the asshole who thought this was a good idea needs to die screaming.

oof lmao
Why is everybody here so afraid of asking their beginner questions in a normal fashion?
Why must everything be disguised as a hate post against Blender when it's just them not knowing the basics?
You'll only get insulted more that way.

Why don't you just snap the tail of the first bone to the origin of the second one?

This doesn't even have anything to do with the parenting/hierarchy of the bones.

Select the two bones, press F (fill with another bone), delete the new created bone, you're done

Do yourself a solid favor and get Maya with either Advanced Skeleton or mgear. All of your rigging issues will be solved for life. Advanced Skeleton in particular is easy to use and extremely versatile...humans, mechs, octopusses, you name it lol.
You haven't lived until you've created 8 spline arms complete with IK/FK switching in just a few clicks.
