For this tutorial, we will be cycling through Object Mode, Edit Mode, and Pose Mode.
We can work in several different modes in Blender. We will be working in the Layout Tab of Blender. If you have never used Blender before, you may need a moment to orient yourself. This is perfect for rigging objects like weapons.įor this tutorial, I am using Blender 2.9, but this will work just the same in 2.8 as well. The nice thing is, each bone doesn’t have to be directly touching each other at their hinges like bones in the human body do. Never fear, we will walk through every step of the process in detail so that you can follow along. While that anatomical metaphor works great in referencing humanoid animation, you may be confused about how that correlates to a weapon.
They connect at hinges, allowing them to move and bend in realistic motion. Each piece of the rig is like a bone in your body. Rigging is the process of building a skeleton for your model. If you aren’t familiar with the animation process, rigging is a crucial step in preparing a model to animate it. Whichever weapon type you choose, the principles you learn here will work just as well! How to Rig a Weapon in Blender For demonstration purposes, I am using a model of an AR imported from Daz 3D. This tutorial will teach you the basics of rigging and animating weapons. Simply import them into Blender using our Daz to Blender Bridge, a free tool that will seamlessly import your Daz files into Blender! If you would prefer, you can also look for a free-to-use model elsewhere, or, if you are up to the challenge, model your own. We have tons of great options in our expansive 3D library.
Getting Started: Grab a Weaponįirst things first, you will need a weapon for this tutorial. This tutorial will run you through the basics, providing step-by-step instructions on how to properly rig a weapon and animate it in Blender, an amazing open-source tool that is free to use.
But you have to admit, if the player is going to be having a weapon in their immediate field of view constantly, we want them to look awesome, right? If you have wanted to learn how to make FPS game animations, then look no further. Of course, there is so much more to making a good FPS game than just having cool-looking weapons: gameplay, controls, worldbuilding, and stat balancing - to name a few important ones. If you have played an FPS (first-person shooter) game before, you know for certain the one thing you will inadvertently look at the most is the game’s weapon arsenal.
