WEBVTT 00:00.090 --> 00:04.860 So in this lesson, I just want to talk through a little bit about what the kind of final stages of 00:04.860 --> 00:10.230 rigging are before we begin, I wanted to include this update about how to include the head in the scale, 00:10.530 --> 00:16.020 because since we've created the entire rig, there's one little piece missing to make the whole thing 00:16.020 --> 00:16.620 scalable. 00:16.890 --> 00:21.600 So at the beginning, early on, we included all the cons in a group and then we scale constrain that. 00:21.870 --> 00:25.490 But we miss the geometry that had because that came afterward in a later lesson. 00:25.710 --> 00:31.830 So let's include that now so we can click the go of the head and hit F and outliner to find it. 00:31.830 --> 00:36.870 And we can see that it's under this head group here and that group is only parent constrained, so its 00:36.870 --> 00:39.390 not its parent constraint to this con. 00:39.780 --> 00:42.450 So it's not going to follow the scale of anything. 00:42.660 --> 00:46.260 So we need to include the scale, a scale constraint on this head group. 00:46.530 --> 00:51.330 So it's like the bones are it because we want it to scale relative to that and let's select the head 00:51.330 --> 00:57.600 group by holding down control and left clicking and then go to constrain under the animation menu here 00:58.020 --> 01:00.330 and we can go down to scale. 01:00.750 --> 01:06.390 And now we can see that we've added a scale constraint to this group and when we scale the bones route, 01:06.690 --> 01:07.830 the head will follow. 01:08.490 --> 01:10.260 All right, let's get into the rest of the lesson. 01:11.460 --> 01:15.870 You know, in this course, like super congratulations that you've made it this far. 01:15.870 --> 01:21.330 If you're listening to this video like you're in the top one percent, I wouldn't think most people 01:21.330 --> 01:22.140 even get this far. 01:22.380 --> 01:26.520 It's a technical topic, but it's it's invaluable. 01:26.520 --> 01:30.330 It has to be done in animation, like you can't animate things without rigging. 01:30.330 --> 01:32.220 So this is incredibly important. 01:32.220 --> 01:38.040 And even if you don't want to go on to rigging specifically, it's important to know as an animator 01:38.040 --> 01:45.530 or as really any other kind of specific tract in the industry, whether it's games, film commercials, 01:45.540 --> 01:51.630 whatever it is, having any background and rigging is very, very valuable. 01:51.960 --> 01:58.680 Even though I'm strictly an animator, usually at my studio jobs, I find myself having to rig my own 01:58.680 --> 01:59.070 things. 01:59.070 --> 02:07.560 Let's say that the rigor, you know, messed something up or you have a scene where you need the prop 02:07.560 --> 02:13.350 to be built a certain way and the rigor is way underwater. 02:13.350 --> 02:15.570 They have too much work and they can't get to it. 02:15.570 --> 02:19.110 It'll take a week or two for them to get to your request. 02:19.620 --> 02:24.000 So if you have any knowledge of rigging, you can just do it yourself and keep going and keep moving 02:24.210 --> 02:31.920 and work fast and be very valuable to a studio job if you have, you know, just a little bit of general 02:32.040 --> 02:32.940 knowledge like this. 02:33.450 --> 02:39.150 So this last lesson, I just want to go through and tidy everything up so that this is ready for animation 02:39.150 --> 02:44.040 and you understand what to what an animator will want. 02:44.070 --> 02:44.460 Right. 02:44.760 --> 02:48.060 So what an animator will want is to not see any joints. 02:48.120 --> 02:50.970 OK, so there's a couple different ways we can do that. 02:51.210 --> 02:58.380 Let's because we used parenting, we can't just straight up hide them because it would hide the joints. 02:58.800 --> 03:05.520 Sorry to hide because it would hide the geometry that the joints were parented too. 03:05.970 --> 03:10.350 So, for example, if we just hide this joint, it's going to hide all of the geometry there. 03:10.890 --> 03:12.120 So we don't want that to happen. 03:12.510 --> 03:16.140 So real quick, I just want to add this part and you could actually hide the bones. 03:16.440 --> 03:21.570 It's possible, but it's all tedious so you can select a bone, go into the attribute editor and then 03:21.570 --> 03:25.800 go down to draw style and you can choose none. 03:26.100 --> 03:33.900 So it'll hide that joint, but you'll have to do it for every joint in here and go to go to draw style. 03:33.900 --> 03:40.680 None right either way would be to actually go through the spreadsheet that we've already learned about 03:41.040 --> 03:45.810 when we were adjusting the paints, the skin weights on the spine. 03:46.470 --> 03:54.690 If we go to select and we go all by type, I mean choose the joints, let's go up to the Windows Journal 03:54.690 --> 03:58.740 editors and go down to a spreadsheet that we've gone to before. 04:00.410 --> 04:02.000 Now, if we go over to all. 04:03.010 --> 04:11.260 We should be able to get to the draw style over here under joint, so let's scroll through this and 04:11.260 --> 04:17.310 see if we can't find that option so we can affect all of them at the same time. 04:23.980 --> 04:32.110 So over here, we have the draw style and we can select all of this and go to the bottom and shift, 04:32.110 --> 04:36.280 click the bottom and type in none and enter. 04:37.360 --> 04:43.010 And that way we have hidden all of the joints through the spreadsheet. 04:43.600 --> 04:49.300 So one other thing I wanted to do was to show you the fact that when we're animating this thing later, 04:49.510 --> 04:56.800 we may not want to give the animator access to all of these controls, namely the visibility and the 04:56.800 --> 05:01.420 scale controls so you can actually hide controls from here. 05:01.750 --> 05:08.890 We could select the skill controls, go to channels and scroll down to hide selected. 05:10.080 --> 05:15.270 So we can get rid of those, because those aren't going to be useful for the animator, they're not 05:15.270 --> 05:18.420 going to scale this control at all. 05:18.420 --> 05:23.040 So it's actually just getting in the way of making this area more complicated than it needs to be. 05:24.390 --> 05:33.540 We can also get that stuff back by going to edit and going down to the channel control and we can select 05:33.540 --> 05:36.710 which ones we want Keibel and Noncredible hidden. 05:37.140 --> 05:40.590 So there's a long list of other attributes that we don't actually see there. 05:40.950 --> 05:43.380 And the ones that we had were the scale. 05:43.380 --> 05:50.280 So we could select those by clicking them and moving them over into the Keibel and now they're back. 05:50.550 --> 05:53.520 So that's the way to control what's actually seen over here. 05:53.790 --> 06:00.990 And a tidy up your rig in the case that you don't really want to show the scale for most of these controls. 06:01.590 --> 06:04.130 The other thing we can do is get rid of the locators. 06:04.140 --> 06:05.400 We have a bunch of locators there. 06:05.400 --> 06:09.390 So there's one kind of nice tool we can go to select all by type. 06:09.870 --> 06:16.200 Let's just tear this off and let's choose the IKEA handles and let's hide all of those controls. 06:16.860 --> 06:21.810 And unfortunately, the locators aren't you know, you can't select them from here. 06:22.620 --> 06:26.550 So we can just like them from the rig. 06:26.550 --> 06:27.590 We know where they are. 06:28.230 --> 06:37.080 There's one on the head and then one these couple on the on the hands here and the one on the head. 06:38.210 --> 06:46.130 And I think that's all, if I'm remembering correctly, others Netherland's fine, so let's hide those 06:46.140 --> 06:51.020 who control each and we can also get rid of the curve. 06:51.020 --> 06:56.180 I don't know if you remember, I never really addressed the fact that from the modeling section, we 06:56.180 --> 06:59.420 left this curve available to edit. 06:59.840 --> 07:01.580 So in here somewhere there's a spine curve. 07:01.580 --> 07:07.610 We can just delete that whole thing so we can tidy that up and oops. 07:08.480 --> 07:12.350 And for the most part, that's all you need to do. 07:12.680 --> 07:17.230 But one one really nice thing to do is to put all this stuff on a display layer. 07:18.050 --> 07:23.990 So let's grab everything that's not a con so we can grab. 07:24.930 --> 07:33.600 The actually, we just do it from the joints, let's let's select all by type the joints again and then 07:34.440 --> 07:36.810 we can even select the spine. 07:36.810 --> 07:41.730 We can see what's not selected and go through and select this stuff at the head. 07:42.420 --> 07:44.370 And we got everything. 07:45.030 --> 07:47.890 We want to make sure that no controls are selected. 07:47.920 --> 07:52.920 OK, and then we'll go to the display menu over here. 07:53.400 --> 07:58.230 So we here on the bottom right, we can click this far button and we'll take any selection that we currently 07:58.230 --> 08:00.870 have and I'll add it to a new display layer. 08:01.260 --> 08:02.100 So I click that. 08:02.640 --> 08:05.820 And what this does is we can say. 08:08.710 --> 08:09.580 No touch. 08:13.140 --> 08:21.150 Call it bones case, there's multiple rigs in the scene, you can see the name and we can turn everything 08:21.150 --> 08:22.470 on and off really quickly. 08:22.800 --> 08:27.780 But what's more useful is to turn this to R, which means a reference. 08:28.260 --> 08:35.470 And what that means is I can't select this stuff when it's when it has the R on, which means a reference. 08:35.490 --> 08:40.980 OK, so the other thing the animator is probably going to do as soon as they open the scene is go to 08:40.980 --> 08:42.600 show and turn off joints. 08:42.990 --> 08:46.710 So that's how they'll control whether or not they see the joints. 08:47.100 --> 08:53.760 And for your peace of mind, you'll know that they are going to be animating the joints or the geometry 08:53.760 --> 08:54.450 themselves. 08:54.720 --> 08:58.980 And if they want to, all they have to do is just hit this button over here and now they have access 08:58.980 --> 08:59.400 to that. 08:59.970 --> 09:00.780 So that's pretty cool. 09:01.590 --> 09:04.350 And so we can hit our again. 09:05.410 --> 09:07.120 And now we're back to that mode. 09:08.530 --> 09:13.270 So I do just want to say a final congratulations on finishing this section of the course. 09:13.720 --> 09:15.220 It's a lot to cover. 09:15.220 --> 09:19.970 And this definitely isn't an exhaustive rigging course. 09:19.990 --> 09:23.500 This is definitely just, you know, meant to introduce beginners to it. 09:23.920 --> 09:26.050 And I think it's done a pretty good job. 09:26.050 --> 09:30.140 But there's you know, there's always more to learn and that will never change. 09:30.370 --> 09:31.840 That's the one consistency. 09:32.650 --> 09:35.920 You know, I don't care who you are, you're there's always going to be something to learn. 09:36.250 --> 09:40.570 So just keep that mindset and keep going forward. 09:40.900 --> 09:43.600 And I look forward to seeing you in the next part of this course. 09:43.960 --> 09:48.460 And we'll continue learning through the animation and Autodesk. 09:48.850 --> 09:49.570 Thanks for watching.
