Thank you so much! Now I can finally learn how to animate like Falco Blockland :grinning:

Although, I have noticed that when I use your view model / rig, and turn the cancollide off on the arms (because I’m attaching it to the camera,) it turns cancollide back on by itself. Do you have an explanation for this?

EDIT: Found out that it was the plugin doing that. I ended up importing my own mesh the way roblox does it. Thank you so much!

EDIT2: Realized that when I insert the humanoid, it makes the parts cancollide true again. Is there any way I can fix this? (I have worked with other viewmodels, and they do not seem to have this problem)

EDIT3: Found out it was the humanoid I was using. Ended up using my characters humanoid to set everything’s can collide to false. Thanks again

I am myself having a Blender Rig that isn’t imported into Roblox yet and brings me a couple questions you guys maybe might be able to answer.

I work on my day to day job as a 3d artist and have a complete FPS character rig with the character and arms.

The character is one mesh and not like in Roblox separated parts and the same goes for the arms and hands.

I did love to import them as a mesh to have the flexibility of rigging them based on their mesh form and not several smaller body parts.

The hands on their own are my biggest question as I would like to import a low poly rig with 2 fingers basically a bigger version of the 5 fingers we have in this case the 4 fingers apart of the thump.

The hand is split up in the four fingers we have and our thump but as explained above those 4 fingers are one whole instead of 4 separated fingers.

I did love to share my rig here with everyone to look into rigging it or giving me advice on how to do it but I did like to first ask more about it and then share images and such things.

Like a rig with fingers and stuff? I don’t quite understand sorry.

#39

Exactly a rig with fingers and stuff.

I have it setup as a whole too I only can’t import it as a custom rig.

#40

Roblox has a limit when you’re importing a mesh. That might be why.

#41

Yes. Yes. Yes! I’ve been planning out my own FPS, and this will help so much with the gun rigging.

You did an awesome job of explaining, but could you post the 3-hour long video I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for the amazing work you put into this tutorial! :+1: :+1:

#48

Could you please make another tutorial but with Blender 2.79 instead?

#49

the process is the same. In this instance, 2.8 and 2.79 will work interchangeably

#50

i keep getting the god damn traceback error i dont know what to do :frowning:

#51

Reinstall the plugin and make sure versions match, I personally use 2.83 and have no problems with it.

#53

can someone actauly explain this to me?

#54

also you model doesmt work the plugin says no primary part set

#55

If it isn’t there, you can set a primary part yourself with the Primary Part option.

Make sure you set it to the “HumanoidRootPart.”

#56

the mesh of the weapon also breaks i had a knife i made andit falls apart and breaks
so still

#57

Did you make sure they were all connected to the HumanoidRootPart?
If there’s some parts left on their own without any joints or weld created, it will fall apart.
