How to use Grease Pencil
04/07/2011
Hello! I use sometimes the grease pencil, a quite unknown feature of blender, very useful for things like adding references, or annotations to our scene. On this tutorial, I'll show you how to use it for drawing on the 3D View, and even animate that drawings.

This tool is even more useful when you're working with a team, because it make it easy to mark things, show ideas and things like that on the scene for your coworkers, even they are on the distance :)
Hope you like it! See you!

Thank you, another great tutorial.
Good details as always. Is the grease pencil only for display in the viewer? Can it be exported to (.png) frames or anything like that (other than a screen-cap)?
The 'DopeSheet' and 'NLA Editor' are a mystery to me. Will that be covered in the Hologram Project (or some future tuts)?
Keep up the good work!
Well, you can do it converting the strokes to curves, and add thickness to them so they can be rendered :) And yes, in the hologram project and future tutorials Dopesheet and NLA Editor will be covered ;)
Thanks for the comment!
Thank you very much! Havnt known that i can access the animation frames through the dope sheet editor -> greace pencil (is good hidden!)
Haha,
I like the silly animation!

Hola Oliver como estas muy buen el tuto llevaba tiempo buscando esta info, pero tengo un a pregunta espero me puedas responder ya que imagino estas a full con el tuto del holograma, miré que en el video muestras las teclas que presionas es algún programa o un addon?
saludos y éxitos
PD: Espero nos puedas ayudar pronto con el proyecto Holograma a las personas que lo compramos. :)
Hola, Carlos Saltos! Precisamente acabo de ver el email después de terminar de grabar otro de los capítulos, el holograma ya está muy cerca!!! :D
Para mostrar las teclas en el video utilizo un programa freeware que se llama ShowOff, muy simple, y que deberás editar su apariencia en un editor de texto... pero es bastante intuitivo :) No recuerdo de dónde lo descargué, pues otro seguidor de blendtuts me envió un link por email hace mucho tiempo :S De todas maneras, si buscas ShowOff Keyboard Print o algo así deberías encontrarlo fácilmente :)
Gracias por tu comentario! ;)
Efectivamente, lo he encontrado, aquí está ;) ShowOff
Perfecto ya lo tengo Gracias Oliver... :)
