@renderhjs I didn't realize you could script grease pencil strokes like this, I like it even more now, cool stuff! more MESHmachine: Unfuse, change chamfer verts, Fuse, and Refuse. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy™
Yeah there's a bloke at my work who has been talking up the Grease pencil feature since it started getting shown. The demo videos i've seen have some impressive stuff in them and it looks like it could be a really useful retopo tool.
As a long time Blender user (about 15 years) the move to 2.8 has been difficult for me - quite a sea-change - but I've been having great fun with the Grease Pencil tools and I'm loving the ease and speed of view-port rendering with Eevee.
You have to get really comfortable with the grease pencil for it to really do it's magic. Once you have that down then it should be easier. Other than that it's just practice...it takes a while to get the hang of it, but it's really fast once you do :) Also, you might want to check out this video [vv]27781195[/vv] It's the…
Hi guys, I’m currently using a maya kind of Navigation (void hotkeys) and everything is going smoothly. The only problem occurs when I’m trying to rotate the view in grease pencil mode, alt left click being assigned to the line tool. Is there any way to configure it to alt + left instead? I’m aware you can rotate the view…
SpeedSculpt goes too fast, I don't have enough time to test it :p I've been playing recently with the new Grease Pencil v2.0 (Blender 2,78) and it's really a fun and easy tool to play with, here's a presentation of the workflow I'm currently using : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V-u-Pmc49s EDIT : woops here's the good…
Here's something I've been wondering about for a while : Is there a way to convert an annotation (blue line, not GreasePencil) to mesh geometry ? Just the edges, no thickness. I understand that there is a path to go from GreasePencil to geometry, but the 2.8 grease pencil has way too many features/effects getting in the…
For single hotkey origin placement I'm using Maxivz's tools 'Quick Pivot'. To straighten an edge I'll either do it manually s>x/y/z>0, use the align pie, or in some cases use Gstretch(which is actually designed to align itself to a grease pencil annotation, but defaults to a straight line if none is detected) Grow/Shrink…
Preview of a tool to convert Grease Pencil strokes into panel decals in DECALmachine. Blender's GP line tool, actually works on curved surfaces now, so I won't even have to port my Tape tool over. I hope there is a polygon tool coming however. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EVeNv8iyNE There's also some MESHmachine at the…
That's a new time record in the blender development history ^^, 5 hours after a proposal and it's in master : http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?395328-A-MODO-artist-learns-Blender-Comparing-the-Basics-VIDEO&p=3029959&viewfull=1#post3029959 On the grease pencil side, pepeland did some great vidos to show the…
