The Grease Pencil drawing tool already contains predefined brushes If we try to draw with the freehand instrument, we immediately notice that the color is not black, but gray because by default the strength (with which the virtual pencil was pressed) has no value 1 but 0.6.īy changing this value to 1, drawing later we will get a pure black.Īs we can see, in the menu it is also possible to modify the dimensions of the stroke (radius), the material (by default set to Black), and the type of brush (by default set to Draw Pencil, that is similar to a pencil).
#BLENDER GREASE PENCIL FULL#
To access all the Grease Pencil tools you can select the " 2D Animation" workspace ("2D Full Canvas" is similar to 2D animation, with less clutter of menus and panels)
With the Grease Pencil object we will be able to perform all the operations that could be achieved with the Annotate tool, but with the added possibility of having additional tools necessary for drawing and 2D animation with Blender. Stroke allows you to create a predefined pen stroke, Monkey draws the usual Suzanne but in drawing format, blank instead creates an empty object, similar to empty, into which the actual drawing can be inserted. Most of the new features of the Grease Pencil, including those inherited from previous versions of Blender, can be found in the new grease pencil objects, which can be recalled by clicking on "Add" in Object Mode, or using the SHIFT + A shortcut
Surface enables drawing directly on the faces of the object, useful for better explaining certain operationsģD Cursor is similar to View, but it gives the possibility to position the plane perpendicular to the view in the position defined by the 3D Cursor The Placement View allows you to create annotations that will be positioned orthogonally to the view, all on the same plane. Sometimes you feel the need to write annotations on the entire page, as if it were a sheet of paper, sometimes directly on the object, for this Blender provides the " Placement" option (which you can also find in the panel on the right in the "Tool" tab) The eraser function will be used to cancel and correct what is written.Īfter using the Grease Pencil for the first time, in the panel with the properties of the " Tool" on the right, which can be recalled by pressing the N key, by clicking on "Note" a drop-down menu will appear to manage the layers, color and thickness of the pen stroke.The polygon tool, to more easily create figures or polylines.
The line tool, also useful for tracking reference lines.The simple annotation, which allows you to draw or write freehand texts,.In the instrument panel on the left, which can be recalled by pressing the T key, you can select some basic tools, including the " Annotate" tool The Grease Pencil as a tool for creating annotations: We therefore try to describe the main tools available. In Blender 2.8, in the current release, the Grease Pencil tool has been divided into two parts, from a logical point of view, a simpler one for making annotations only and a more "rich" one that allows you to create real cartoons. The Grease Pencil at the beginning was only a tool to draw small notes in the 3D View, to provide explanations about the project that was being realized, but later it was enriched with new features, concerning both the drawing and the animation, which transformed it in a real 2D drawing tool within a 3D modeling software. In this tutorial for Blender 2.8 in english we will see how this tool has changed in the passage of Blender from version 2.79 to 2.8.
