Rigify rigs are not well-suited for games. If you export a vanilla Rigify rig to a game engine it will bring along many unnecessary bones and a bad hierarchy.
In this video, I show a workflow to make any Rigify rig ready for games. The process is very similar to my previous video ("How to make existing rigs game-ready") but I also show some Rigify specific techniques and pitfalls. As always the workflow complies with the "game-ready principle" that I explained in the previous chapters.

In this video we are taking a look at Meshy.ai, one of the more advanced AI services for 3d Model generation. In particular, I will demonstrate the latest iteration: Meshy version 4.
Meshy 4 creates much more detailed and accurate models compared to the previous version. It can generate good hands which Meshy 3 struggled with. The textures are also higher quality. And the "Sculpture" mode produces some of the best AI 3d models I have seen.

In this video I introduce a new addon that improves your Rigify workflow. The function of the addon are not fancy. They simply help you generate, edit, and regenerate your Rigify rigs faster and with fewer clicks. Since generating and regenerating is done a lot while working with Rigify, this can save you a lot of time and clicks.

Have you ever wanted to go beyond the pre-built face rig in Rigify (which is nice but also has many flaws)? Then you need to learn the modular face rig system which was added in Blender 3.0. Unfortunately, learning resources about this system are almost non-existent. The official manual is a train-wreck (to whoever wrote it, I am sorry but it is).
So if you want to learn how to use it, this new course is the way to go!
In this video we take a look at the new Blender feature called "Extensions". Extension is a new term for things that extends Blender. Currently this includes addons and keymaps. Some confusion is bound to arise especially around the difference between Extensions and Addons.

I looks like Adobe has no intention to officially update their Mixamo addon for Blender. Fortunately, Blender addons are open source so creating community patches is not an issue. "Xin / Spirited Harvest" is the creator of the fix provided above. There are other community fixes on the web but this is the only one I trust to be done well. Enjoy!

In this part we will learn the basics of Manual Rigging (no Rigify yet!). I understand that you may be eager to dive into the exciting world of auto-rigging. But if you are new to rigging, do not skip this video!
A certain amount of basic rigging knowledge is absolutely necessary even when working with Rigify. Knowing how to move bones around, parent them etc., is simply not optional.
But that's not all. The less you know about Rigging in general the more likely it is to fall into one of the many technical and UX pitfalls.
I did my best to provide a solid rigging foundation with this video. Additional tips and tricks will be shared as we progress in the series.
