Hello and welcome to my iclone 5 tutorial freebie thread. Enjoy!

just unzip file and drag it into iclone 5. Soon i will post a step by step tutorial on how the ragdoll rig was made. And how you can apply it to any avatar you choose.

Here are a few demo movies using the ragdoll rig ill be teaching soon.

By Sen - 14 Years Ago

:w00t: thanks Stuckon , very great tuto .

By nlprod1 - 14 Years Ago

Thanks Stuckon3D,

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and freebies . :cool:

By Capemedia - 14 Years Ago

Brilliant thanks so much Cris :)

By yaRincewind - 14 Years Ago

Hi Cris,

thank you very much :)
I enjoy the iClone5 tuts as I did the iClone 4 tuts :)

By W.VEEKE - 14 Years Ago

Thanks again, you are a great tutor. Keep on the good work

By DADA_universe - 10 Years Ago

Would like to register my thanks to Stuckon3d for the ragdoll tutorial series and freebies. I'm late to the party but found it timely and a great help, given I had spent a long time already trying to find how to use kinematic physics to animate more realistic fights, etc.

Here's my first quick and quirky test https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmAFhv4dvrY&feature=youtu.be using tips gained on this thread. Punching hand has a kinematic physics enabled object parented to it. Raster is rigged to a rag doll following tips by stuckon3d. Found adjusting the world scale and constraint stability under the world physics setting for the rag doll provides some measure of calibration for the rag doll's behaviour. (otherwise I found it difficult to get what I wanted because it got too sensitive to the kinematic object's presence and collapsed almost immediately the simulation started). Also found that removing the constraint setting and adding a new one (point to point world) to the rag doll also made it react more naturally to the punch. Albeit not being able to layer animations on the simulated ragdoll makes Rasta look stiff and punch drunk. Test made in iClone 5.5, rendered in iClone6. Thanks for looking.

By stuckon3d - 10 Years Ago

@ dada_universe and ziggy123

Sorry guys for not responding sooner, my spare time is not like it used to since i had my kid. :P

@ziggy123

did you solved your simulations yet? I think i have a few ideas on how to do them, i just dont have the time to do a video tutorial yet. Please let me know, the needle bed sounds like a fun challenge.

@dada_universe

Great job, if time permits i will update the ragdoll to the new PhysX engine.

Cheers,

Cris

By stuckon3d - 13 Years Ago

you are welcome! Always glad to help when i can. :) Another little tip, null objects are great for animations as well, whenever you need secondary or tertiary pivot points for a single object to create compound motions. :w00t:

By MarcDonald - 13 Years Ago

Super, but how do you attach the ragdoll to the avatar??

Please give us the trick: I can't sleep anymore!

By stuckon3d - 12 Years Ago

It has been brought to my attention that the playground file was working a little weird. The chains and the ragdoll were shaking like crazy. I looked at the file and it looks like the "constraint settings" got a little change in the behavior on the latest update or updates after the release of the file. The feature that is breaking the proper behavior is a check box called " collision constrained object". Select the piece that are linked and "uncheck" the box. This will bring back the ragdoll and chains back to the proper behavior.

Cheers,

Stuckon3d

PS: press q for selection and drag click to multi select. Just make sure you dont grab the parent of the chains.

By NFTS.Games - 12 Years Ago

Cool tutorial my friend.
Now.....how about when the character is moving along a path ?
I have a character, moving along a path, with a standard walk cycle.
Im trying your method that aligns the weight to a particular leg however the results are wrong :)

By stuckon3d - 12 Years Ago

NFTS.Games (4/25/2013)

Hi N G,
The sliding feet tutorial was meant for regular motion files. When you use motion paths for avatars, you are using looped cycles that are created in place and the path dictates the forward translation. In order to stop the foot sliding you will need to adjust the speed of the translation throughout the length of the path until you dont see any more sliding. There are a few tutorials out there that show you how to adjust walks on a path. IF you still need help after that, let me know and ill post one on you tube that it is more specify to your situation.

Cheers,

stuckon3d

By ziggy123 - 10 Years Ago

Hi There - happy new year and thank you for the tutorial.

I am interested in building a rope/fish line (seethrough) that is wrapped on a spool - the idea is when I pull the string/rope/line it will rotate the spool - any ideas on how to acheieve this?

Also, was wondering how to create a matrix of needles (Like the real-world ones that are used as a game in which one uses his/her hand by pushing needles in a matrix and leaving an "impression" of the hand into that box/device) and then having a magnet object that pulls or pushes the needles as it travels anlong that surface depending on polarity.

Thnaks in advance,
Sagi

By Paumanok West - 13 Years Ago

Wow, beautiful instruction--as always! Clears up the mysteries that have persisted for so many of us for *years* now. :)

Glad I asked about this.

By wires - 13 Years Ago

Once again an excellent explaination that everyone can understand.

It's also very kind of you refraining from telling us how stupid and lazy we are.:D

Happy 2012 Cris.

By krishnamaniayya - 13 Years Ago

amazing.... thank you......:):):):)

By mark - 13 Years Ago

As always great tutes! Thanks!:D

By animagic - 13 Years Ago

Thanks for the tutorial, Stuckon, and a happy new year for you and your family.

I now know a solution for a problem I wasn't even aware of... :blush:

Thanks also to PW for bringing this up!

By yaRincewind - 13 Years Ago

Thank you :-)

By mjordy - 14 Years Ago

I agree with all of the above, Stuckon3D is a vital creative and inspirational resource for this forum and the Reallusion community. We're always looking forward to the newest Stuckon3D creations and tutorials. Thanks man.;)

By sjonesdc - 14 Years Ago

Thanks Cris for your time and talent. Your tutorials have helped a lot of us in lowering the learning curve with iClone. Hopefully after your "Top Secret" project, you will return!!!!

But in the mean time, enjoy your family. The little ones grow up so fast and before you know it, they are out of their own.

By intrestNL - 14 Years Ago

Hi Stuckon3d,

Thank you so much for all your clear explanations even for not native English speakers so good to follow.

Are you setting up a class for iClone 5 also? How can I become a participant (if not IC5, than IC4 would be fine for me).

Regards,
Marjan

By stuckon3d - 13 Years Ago

Here is a quick tutorial on how to use null objects to prevent distortion from attached objects that have parents that are scaled non proportionally.

By The Mythical Dragon - 13 Years Ago

Thanks for the helpful tip! I hope you are having a great start to 2012! May it be your best year ever!

By nlprod1 - 13 Years Ago

Thanks Stuckon3D,

This illustration has certainly cleared up a lot for me. Many Thanks and wishing you continued success in 2012!:cool:

By animagic - 14 Years Ago

I like to repeat my support for Stuckon's tutorials, they have greatly helped me. I hope we will still see the ones for iClone 5, as follow up of the excellent iClone 4 set.

I also hope others who benefited from Stuckon will continue to express their support. We need all the help we can get...

By Mike Hunt - 14 Years Ago

I'm glad you like tutorials and that they help you.

By The Mythical Dragon - 14 Years Ago

I would like to throw my two bits worth in.... Stuckon3d, you are by far the best animator in our community. Most of us greatly appreciate any tips and advice you share. No matter how good you are you will never be able to please everyone. Just remember that you have a lot of supporters in this community. A lot more supporters than haters and we are all greatly blessed because you share your expertise with us. I only wish I had the money to purchase all of your paid tutorials. Man.. the really good stuff I am missing just turns my stomach.

By Capemedia - 14 Years Ago

The Mythical Dragon (11/10/2011)

I have to agree with this :D

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

Thank you everyone for your support, just to let you know i will release part two of the tutorial, i dont like leaving things incomplete, but after that im going to disappear for a while. Top secret project. ;)

Cheers,

Stuckon3d

By The Mythical Dragon - 14 Years Ago

stuckon3d (11/11/2011)

Ooooo... Top secret! Now I'm holding my breath. Whatever it is it will be awesome. You will be missed but we will be anxiously awaiting to see the final project!

Thanks for everything Stuckon3d!!!!

By toonarama - 14 Years Ago

Stuckon3d

Please don't make decisions based on the rantings of an ungrateful member of the community.

Your tutorials are invaluable providing a depth way beyond what is available in the official training material.

I am truly grateful for the amount of time and effort you put in and for your generosity in sharing your skills with the Iclone community

all the best

Toonarama

By wires - 14 Years Ago

Hi Cris,

Thanks again for all the time and effort that you invested in your freebies, they have been a great help to me - and I am sure many others.

I can fully understand you putting a stop to "feeding your ego", I'm just surprised that it didn't happen earlier. You have my respect for your decision.

Enjoy the time with your son.

You know what, you are right, thank you for showing me the errors of my way, this sharing thing that i'm doing just to feed my ego has got to stop. And it will! God knows my son will be so happy about that. No more calling me from down stair asking for more play time with daddy while im doing these selfish tutorials here just so i can feed my ego. :ermm:

Animagic, you are absolutely right!
Stuckon, don't listen to Mad.
There are a lot people that learned from you,
(just like I do) and we are all very thankful.
Again, thanks for all the time you spend,
for making these great tutorials!

By gizmo - 14 Years Ago

Well I for one would love to see part two. Please also let us know when your next commercial training tuts are available. Cheers. Four years of iClone and I'm still learning something everyday.

By The Mythical Dragon - 14 Years Ago

I would also very much like to see part 2. You are the master stuckon3d and I very much appreciate all the tips and advice you share with us!

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

@ Gizmo and the mystical dragon

Thanks guys, and I'm sorry i was not clear with my statement about part 2 of the tutorial, what i meant was that when i post it on youtube (when i get some spare time), it is going to be password protected. So if you want to watch it, just request it via pm and i will send you the password. ;)

By shug17uk - 14 Years Ago

phew!

I am sure I am not alone when I thought we'd lost you for good. A scary thought!

Thank you for your videos past and future.

By Tukie - 14 Years Ago

Thank you very much Stuckon!

You make very good work

Tukie:)

By wires - 14 Years Ago

Many thanks Cris for all the time you spend helping us.

Having the tutorials password protected is an excellent idea, :cool: it prevents users from feeling that they are being forced to watch them in order to post their negative garbage and complaints.:Whistling:

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

kvpictures1 (11/2/2011)

Just finished following your tutorials, very easy to follow thankyou.

Just one question, do we need to re-rig the avatars to the dolls each time or can they be saved as an avatar or something to keep them intact for loading in different projects?

Thanks again for your great teaching:)

Unfortunately the rig will not save with the avatar on it or vice-versa , however you could save a blank scene file with all your rag doll rigs linked and keep it as a template, and then just delete the ones you don't use or need and start your new scene from there. Also if you have a set like a street and such , dont forget you can save that as a 3d scene and bring over to that template file, and then save that scene with a different name and you are good to go. ;)

Hope this helped,

Stuckon3d

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

This is tutorial on how to match motions that were recorded or animated with different root node orientations. Enjoy! :)

By Paumanok West - 14 Years Ago

Great stuff as usual, Cris--and so relevant!

I think you may have rushed a detail near the end, because apparently you saved the aligned clip without saying so? Maybe there's too much pressure to get it done quick? :P

I feel that the imaginary bed he's getting into looks rather high. I wanted to see if others thought so, too.

Let's say that we agree it's too high. Can you say in a few words how you would modify the motion for a lower bed?

Thanks as always. How lucky we are to get these guides for free. :w00t:

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

Paumanok West (11/3/2011)

Hey Mitch,
thanks, and btw i did saved it , i have a two monitor set up and save menu appeared on the second one. If you watch carefully you can see the saving icon pop in and out.

To answer your question about lowering the "climb to bed" motion , just add a couple of transform keyframes at the begining of the motion. first key at frame 50 with no changes, just add key, the second key at frame 100 and lower him on the z axis(make sure you have foot contact on. Then select the key and add a transition curve easy in/out.

hope this helped,

Stuckon3d

i would like to leave you with one last word of advice regarding using the rag doll since there will not be a part 2 tutorial

???

Do you mean not for a while? I'm being totally self centered here I know, your tutorials are AWESOME I sincerely hope you find time for more.

Hi BD,
If i have a little more spare time i might do part 2 but it will only be available via request ones i let people know it is ready. And by that i mean the youtube tutorial will be password protected. So just PM me with a request for the password. ;)

Cheers,

Stuckon3d

RAG DOLL!!! RAG DOLL!!! Ooops we got it..OH MY!!!! THANKS CRIS, AWESOME TUTs!!!:D:D:D

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

Thanks everyone for the comments and i would like to leave you with one last word of advice regarding using the rag doll since there will not be a part 2 tutorial . The rig was meant to be used without the avatar being attached to it while doing the simulation. This will give you more accurate results and makes it easier to transition from motion clip to sim and back. Enjoy! :)

By nlprod1 - 14 Years Ago

Thanks Stuckon3D, your tutorials are truly appreciated ! :cool:

Mad_Poet (10/31/2011)

once a ragdoll rig is built, is there a way to save it so that it can be used over again in different projects?

Update: went back and saw stuck's zip file for chuck_RD, downloaded and placed in a new folder within the iProps template folders; however, when attempting to drag it to the scene, i receive the following error:Failed to load the file. If this is a .vns file please switch to the Props page and try again.

Either way, can't get it a ragdoll to save and reuse in other projects...

Hi mp,
Try this:
First thing, and I'm sorry to sound obvious but sometimes people forget, did you unzipped it?
Second, Did you unzipped it into your custom prop folder? (never mind this one )
Third , make sure to be in the "prop" tab when you drag it into the scene.
Fourth, try unzipping it on your desktop , then drag it into the scene while you are on the "prop" tab.

If none of these things work please let me know. Btw is anyone else having problems loading the files? Please let me know .

Cheers,
Stuckon3d

None of those options worked. Looks like a bad file.

By shug17uk - 14 Years Ago

Hello,

I am getting the same error and I have tried all your suggestions just in case.

cheers

shug17

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

Sorry guys, i dont know what to tell you on this, i just downloaded the files, unzip them on my desktop, and dragged them into the scene while being under the set/props tabs. and it worked fine. Which operating system are you on and which iclone 5 version do you have?

By Sen - 14 Years Ago

Make sur your iclone is 5.01 , perhaps .Work fine for me .

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

Mad_Poet (10/31/2011)

By Paumanok West - 14 Years Ago

Yep, absolutely fantastic--both the iClone functionality AND the instruction. You certainly did a great job in keeping the tute flowing smoothly without distractions or errors.

(By the way, you answered the questions I was trying to pose about foot sliding.)

What a wonderful showcase to remind people how much everybody was positively raving over your iClone 4 tutes. :P

Question: once you break a clip, but your playhead has afterwards been positioned somewhere else, how can you be sure when you get the playhead right at start of the break?

If your tutes come out on DVD, that would be an awesome way to learn!

Thanks again!

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

Paumanok West (10/20/2011)

Thanks guys!

@mitch

Just move the timeline slider in the vicinity of the break and then using the plus key zoom all then way in, then you can easily snap to the begining of the break.

Cheer, stuckon3d

By larryjbiz - 14 Years Ago

That was a great Tut on the foot slide / realign.

Thank you

By larryjbiz - 14 Years Ago

Stuckon

I did notice if you turn off alignment under animation, before you load your movement clip to your character. the animation is aligned to the direction your characters facing, with no need to set up the dummy prop to realign.

By larryjbiz - 14 Years Ago

I see there is a caveat to my previuos post. You can realign your character motion direction in the scene by unchecking align actor motion. But if you want to attach another motion to the extisting clip, you lose the position alignment of the character to the previous motion.

so if it's a single motion. A quick fix to change the character direction and still have the motion align correctly is to un check align actor motion before loading the motion clip.

But if you have different motions that you are going to be joining and want to change the character direction, then Stuckon's fix is the way to go with the dummy attachment.

Did that make sense.

That's why I don't do tutorials Crazy

Thanks

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

Here is part one for the rag doll rig set up. Part 2 will be coming soon. Enjoy! :)

Cheers,

Stuckon3d

PS: I added the ragdolls already built in such a way so that you can added them to any scene. All you have to do is a simple re linking as demonstrated on the second video on this post. (to be uploaded soon) Just add them into a custom prop folder.

By kvpictures1 - 14 Years Ago

Extremely useful tutorial, and one for me to favourite as I will be referring to it when working on my projects, thanks alot:D

By Jen Arrow - 14 Years Ago

Very good and helpful Tutorial!
Thanks

By Illustrator Cathy - 14 Years Ago

:w00t: FANTASTIC tutorial! I'll add it to the Wiki tonight!

Cathy :hehe:

By gizmo - 14 Years Ago

Cheers stuckon. I knew 'some' about the leg align, etc., but the tut's prop/character procedure at the end . . . a real gem. Thank you.

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

Thank you everyone for the kind comments. I also want to point out that other than using the new flag feature, everything that i did in the sliding feet tutorial can be done in iclone 4 as well(just the menus are little different). Of course in iclone 5 you will be able to do so much more with the new tools and the way you can combined them. My Iclone 5 video training series will cover these in way you never thought possible as well as show you real world applications for them. Coming out this Christmas season. And the live classes sooner than that. ;)

Cheers,

Stuckon3d

For me, this was one of the most important tutorials I have seen to-date - I wish I knew this along time ago. Thanks so much stuckon3d (Cris). Have a wonderful day.

By Jen Arrow - 14 Years Ago

Stuckon3d,

Sorry to be impatient! I really understand your explanations and i apologize.

Otherwise, are you planning to write and sell a training pack on all features of iClone 5 ?

Thanks again

Jen

By Capemedia - 14 Years Ago

stuckon3d (10/11/2011)

Hi Jen,
the tutorial is not out yet, please remember i do this on my spare time, and in that spare time i have to allocate time for my family, as well as making the iclone 5 video training series, as well as doing the freebie tutorials. And i have to fit all of this in the only 3 hours I have left in a day, after putting a ten to twelve hour day at my full-time job (which is working on animated feature films). Trust me, im trying to move as fast as i can, and i will release the tut as soon as i can, but I can only do so much per day. So thank you for your enthusiasm and kind comments about my art gallery. I can see you are very eager to learn and you are hungry for knowledge, i will do my best to get that tut out. ;)

Cheers,

Stuckon3d

Cris take as long as you need, there is never a rush and we fully understand :)

Very good tutorials. It amazes me how you manage to work it all out.

Look forward to release of main tutorials.

Will we be able to purchase the wmv files direct as I do not use skype anymore so could not attend any classes.

If this is possible a guide on how many tuts and at what cost per Category.

By hutchartwork - 14 Years Ago

Has Stuckon3d's tutorial on how to connect the rag doll (downloaded with the playground) to an avatar already been posted elsewhere? Or will it be posted on this thread?

By brystudio - 14 Years Ago

Thank you so much stuckon for this tutorial it will come in very handy in future vids i do:D

By Capemedia - 14 Years Ago

stuckon3d (9/29/2011)

Sorry guys, i was going to post the tutorial today but the boss of me, wanted some daddy play time, which means dropping bowling pins and boxes from the sky in iclone 5 while a horsey runs around pushing them around, so tutorial has been postponed until tomorrow. Who can say no to this little guy. Not me that is for sure. :D

And rightly so! Family has always been number 1 for me so fully understand, take as long as you need :D

Thanks Chris. You're amazing! I'm eagerly looking forward to you iClone 5 Tutorial bundle. Do you have any idea when it would be available?

You made absolutely the right decision SO3D. Thanks for sharing the pic. Enjoy the little chap while you can as, all too soon, he will be fully Iclone compatible for himself.:)

Geoff.

Fantástico tutorial maestro

By thebiz.movies - 14 Years Ago

Great info. Thanks!

By Rampa - 14 Years Ago

I'll hazard a guess. I would try it first, but I'm having some issues with the registration server. I suppose its pretty flooded tonight, and I'm stuck with a shabby dial-up connection. Better luck tomorrow at work.

I would guess that its similar to clone bone in that each "rag doll" joint needs to be attached to the corresponding bone in the avatar skeleton.

Great work, thanks for doing it!:)

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

Here is a little teaser on tutorial two, to help you better understand the ragdoll rig. :)

Thank you very much

By 3DStory - 14 Years Ago

Thanks Stuckon3d,

As always, EXCELLENT tutorials. They really save time learning the new features.

Thanks a lot!

By moviechick - 14 Years Ago

Chris thanks for all you do!!! I don't know what you are like in your life outside iClone, but if you are anything like you are inside the iClone community ... Well you are extraordinary!!! You are such a good teacher. 

By Paumanok West - 14 Years Ago

Cris always gets rave reviews for his incredible tutorials.

If you have iClone 5, you really owe it to yourself to invest in his tutes when they appear, (and Warlord's forthcoming book, too).

By hutchartwork - 14 Years Ago

Stuckon3d, I am speechless with amazement! :w00t: Thanks ever so much for this FANTASTIC freebie! The rag doll (even when unattached to an iClone character) falls, tumbles, crashes and topples over like the real thing! Keep up the GREAT WORK! We're very much looking forward to the details on how to attach it to an iClone character! Thanks again!!!!

By Illustrator Cathy - 14 Years Ago

Thanks so much Cris - I've already put your tutorial up on the Wiki!

Cathy :hehe:

Wonderful as usual, Cris...Thank-you.

By sjonesdc - 14 Years Ago

Thanks a lot, Cris!!!

By stuckon3d - 14 Years Ago

I would like to thank everyone for the great feedback and comments, the ragdoll tut is coming , but first there is one more tutorial i need to teach before the ragdoll one because that is an intermediate/advance tutorial. I want you guys to learn some of the basics first, which are need it to make the ragdoll work.
Remember that this first version of Iclone 5 was not meant to have this capability, but being the rebel that I am, I came up with this workaround solution. :D Anyhow, tutorial number 2 is on the way. Stay tune!

Cheers,

Stuckon3d
