ROBOT ARM made in Blender - Mechanical Tutorial #blender #rigging #tutorial #animation #vfx

Video Description

Learn how to rig a professional, functional robotic arm in Blender. In this tutorial, we dive deep into mechanical rigging techniques that go beyond basic parent-child relationships. Great for sci-fi or an industrial animations. This guide covers everything you need to know. What you’ll learn in this tutorial: - Setting up Inverse Kinematics (IK) for easy arm movement - Creating dynamic pistons - Using various constraints for realistic mechanical reactions - Rigging a functional claw/gripper with one easy-to-use slider Blender (should work for 4.0 and newer versions) --------------------------- 🦾 ＭＹ ＲＩＧＧＩＮＧ ＣＯＵＲＳＥ: https://demnikoart.gumroad.com/l/riggingcourse ➡️ ＰＲＯＪＥＣＴ ＦＩＬＥ (Blender 5.0.1): https://www.patreon.com/posts/150103681 ➡️ ＰＡＲＥＮＴ ＴＯ ＮＥＡＲＥＳＴ ＢＯＮＥ ＡＤＤ－ＯＮ (free): https://github.com/g3ntile/parentToNearestBone ➡️ ＢＯＮＥ ＷＩＤＧＥＴ ＡＤＤ－ＯＮ (free): https://extensions.blender.org/add-ons/bone-widget/ --------------------------- 💙 ＳＵＰＰＯＲＴ 💙 https://www.patreon.com/demnikoart 📱 ＳＯＣＩＡＬＳ 📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/demnikoart Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/demnikoart Artstation: https://www.artstation.com/demnikoart Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/demnikoart Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/demnikoart Threads: https://www.threads.net/@demnikoart Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/demnikoart.bsky.social ----------------------- Chapters: 0:00 Intro Sequence 0:48 What will we do? 4:54 creating the armature 9:30 creating the IK 10:46 setting up bone limitations 13:12 Adjusting the stiffness 14:25 Some Problems 16:27 Pistons 20:22 Using Gizmos 21:51 Rigging the clamp 24:59 Creating the Clamp Controller 33:03 Outro ----------------------- 💙 Huge thanks to the following patrons 💙 7thGeneticStudios, Al Costanzo, Ali Abdur-Razzaq, Andreas, Andrew Shrapnel, animistan, astrobase2, Austin Frey, Big boss From BK, Black Swan, Cannoli, Chris Blaser, cgart t, Christopher Fry, Cyclone Graphics, David Clabaugh, David Lawrence, Diego Guevara, dx90, Frapter Bracllard, Gordon Ma, Greg Lord, Gustaff-Z, Hussain Ather, Jack Boles, Jason, Jason Ferguson, Jeff Hedberg, Johnathan Gee, Joseph Watson, Josh Terrrell, Keiang, Kladlike, Konrad Brownlee, Koos, Krylo, Luqorice cup♡, Marcos Alegranza, Mauser, Nicholas Lloyd, P9_studio, Parawee Namwong, Patrick Torres, Peter Vauthier, rileyb3d, Sebastian Knüppel, sera-sabulo, SharkaLuzi, Still Remain, tararntula, Tmi_Chile, Uncle Dave, Xinneo, 森 周
