guys, im in deep shit right now, di ako mag kaayus sa modeling at rigging. nakakagawa ako ng model pero everytime na lalagyan ko na sya ng rig, palpak. honestly, need ko talga ng parang advicer na maraming alam sa blender, kasi thesis namin to eh, eh gusto ko i prove na kahit open source eh maganda gamitin sa 3D. please, help us, marami akong katanungan.

HmmmMm, sana nga po makatulong kami. First, you need to upload the necessary screenshots of what you're trying to achieve or asking help for. And probably add captions corresponding to the image.

Or probably, if we ever cross online, you can contact me on YM > rey_m21@yahoo.com

I'd be very glad to help you. Good luck on your thesis. ^_^

Thanks for posting.

you can also mail me at > ragingmon~at~gmail~dot~com
even though I'm kinda busy in my work. I will still help you out.

actually, medyo may pagkakahawig sila kasi, isang character lang sila. nangyari dun sa una eh, nag give up ako kasi di ko talaga ma figure out yung pag gawa ng maayus na rig. dun sa second, ayus naman ako, kaso di ko magawang fully poseable sya, di ko sya mapaupo and hindi rin ako makagawa ng walk cycle. gusto ko lang sya na malagyan ng tamang rig na magfifit para sa pagtakbo, paglakad, pagtalon basta yung mga basic actions. kung need nyo pa ng more information, sabihin nyo lang. and araw araw akong nag oonline sa YM. actually more on morning and evening. thanks guys

I played a bit with your blend file, as my mind is fresh enough to do some basics in rigging.
oohhhhh yeah, eto na yung file

download mo lang dito > http://www.savefile.com/files/1676147

I did some basics in there, some IK in the legs and the arms.
And I also applied my naming conventions on the bones.
By now, this model is also capable of sitting, and also possible in walking (in a simple manner). When you really want it to walk in a very good way, grab the Mancandy FAQ tutorial made by Bassam Kurdali, I think it is still available at bittorrent.
btw, you still need to rig the fingers. I just left the bones hanging in there as I need to go back to work now.

Just a piece of advice, when modeling a character, always give emphasis on the curves of the body, what I mean is the flow of the body. Like in the legs, it is usually bent forward a bit, and in the arms, it is always backward a bit. Don't make it straight (well, for me) so it is much more organic to look at, and much easier to rig.

As for a rigging tutorial. I think what I did in your model is just like in this tut http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BSoD/ ... _Animation

I hope I helped you out in your problem.
Cheers! Keep up the blendering!

thank you ragingmon, i have downloaded the file and its great, i tweaked the weights a little bit and its fine now i think. you're a real lifesaver(mag eenglish na lang ako para mapractice hehehe). i am now animating it and doing a walk cycle animation, but i have a question, did you use bone heat in my model? just curious. by the way thank you, but i still have a lot of things to do and a lot of things to ask so, please all of who can help me, id appreciate it, i want to pass my thesis project. Blender Rocks!!!!

your welcome.
I didn't use bone heat. I just weight painted it.

btw, we're really glad to help out here at pinoyblender.
sino pa ba ang magtutulungan kundi tayotayo lang din. char :p
