![[1/6] Complete Character Rigging Guide (w/ Hair Physics) - Blender Tutorial @DanielKreuter](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aPeb444dxnk/maxresdefault.jpg)
Uploaded February 2017 | Updated September 2026, 1 hour ago
This tutorial guides you through the process of rigging your character in Blender 3d. Rigging, basically means enabling your character for animation. The system will use armature systems as well as a deformer mesh to have an intersection free solution to this problem. We will also use rigid bodies to simulate the hair. You can apply the same techniques to any cloth so feel free to experiment with it.
The character will soon be available for download to my Patrons, so if you are interested please take a look: patreon.com/danielkreuter

I do timed projects every day to improve my skills in zBrush and as 3d character artist. The video here is a recording from one of my sessions. In this one I created Mayuri from Steins;Gate. The result is rough, but considering that it was created in just about 2.5 hours I think it was challenging enough. Practices like this one really helped me to grow recently so I highly recommend them to all of you who want to get better at art as well!

Join the project on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/AratasLegend
In this video, I am using ZBrush to sculpt a character from scratch. In fact, in this series, we will be working on the character named Mr. Arata from beginning to End. If you catch me on the live stream, you can even participate in making design decisions. Mr. Arata is a creation made by contributions from all of you.
At this point, Mr. Arata is a Magician who tries to get dragons under his control. He needs their power to take revenge against the king who is to blame for his wifes death. His wife was a demon... This is how far we got. Cant wait to get your ideas :)

So this 3d anime character is what I spent most of my time on throughout the past two months. It has some very interesting features such as the rigging and the materials, which I am talking about in this video. I also want to point out a very interesting modelling technique for frills on dresses. Sounds boring but believe me, its pretty cool! I hope you like the video as always! Thanks for watching!
