Re: Blender New Innovative 2d Animation "GP Tools"

Steve: Here is one of the best things about Grease Pencil: Your animation is already rendered as you make it - in the Viewport. You don't render it as you would a typical Blender file or animation. At the top left of the interface, under "Render" select "Open GL Render Animation"...

Re: Blender New Innovative 2d Animation "GP Tools"

Exile: No need to hang GP up. Have you tried using the "Blender Builder" latest version of 2.78 for Windows? These are also quite stable, too: https://builder.blender.org/download/ I believe all of the "Interpolation" controls and settings are working in the latest Build. You jus...

Re: Blender New Innovative 2d Animation "GP Tools"

Unfortunately, I have just verified that some of the most important Grease Pencil functions are missing in the Official 2.78 Windows build - as released on the Blender.org website. Namely, these are the Stroke Subdivision Tools and all of the "Automatic In-Betweening" Tools. However, these...

Re: Blender New Innovative 2d Animation "GP Tools"

In the Grease Pencil "Optimization" video, above - I only remembered, at the last minute, that to keep all of the interface optimization changes that have been made - the final and most important step is to go to the file menu and select "Save Startup File". Without doing this, t...

Re: Blender New Innovative 2d Animation "GP Tools"

One other major "plus" for using Blender's Grease Pencil is the speed and efficiency of Blender's code. Along with the fact that Grease Pencil's art and animation operates under realtime rendering implementations. Ultimately, this means playback of your animation - as you work - is in real...
