Bone rigging tutorial?

[Moby The Duck]

After hours and many tries, I gave up on trying to rig a model I was working on to the Soldier bones.

It either follows the wrong part of his body, gets hidden under the model or gets sucked by a black hole and gets stretched all over the place.

There is a tutorial or tips on bone rigging/flexes, or its all about trial and error?

Are you looking to do facial flexes? Look up Napy De Wise's tutorial on facial flexes: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=170877216

I think I did saw that one about face flexes, but its too much of a hassle for me.

What I meant was flexing on stuff like clothes, sorry if it wasnt clear.

I use the Weight tool, but I just cant get it right and it turns out a mess.

It's really just a matter of experimenting. The thing that might help you is importing animations so you can see how the bone weights will look while a character is running/shooting/etc.

There aren't really any tf2-specific tutorials I can link to. I would just google a few rigging tutorials and see what is best.
