I may need to redo both the UVs and the Texture because I didn't unwrap the mesh correctly and it is causing visual bugs

Also, apologies for the almost two month break! I was burned out yet again

Automatic weights themselves don't do it for me either. I like to use it as a base and go in after applying them and edit them

The reason I made that post was because my topology used to be a lot worse, and the automatic weights would be terrible, so it was easier to do them from scratch lol

The cons seemed to outweigh the pros to me when I started, which kept me away from using it. Now that I know a good bit more about rigs, I think I'd rather use it.

Though, I'm going to watch some videos to learn more about how the addon works before doing anything

For those who don't know, rigify is an addon built into blender that allows you to make a very functional rig in just the click of a button. It is quite customisable, which I didn't know beforehand, so I'm gonna learn how that works

All-in-all, blender is definitely a difficult software to learn, but with enough well-targeted practice, you'll know how to do what you want to do quite quickly!

While tutorials are great, they can’t teach you everything. Once you have a general grasp of how everything works, try experimenting on your own with tutorials as more of a backup.
