How to Use Lights with Grease Pencil | Blender 2.83 (New Feature!)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- Hi folks! It's Shenuka with a demo of one of the new features of Blender 2.83!
Lights in Blender can now affect your Grease Pencil objects (super exciting!). In this project, I tested how the point, area and sun lights available in Blender can be used to light my Grease Pencil 2D animation.

Very cool. I love the possibilities to integrate 2D into 3D, and light is a fundamental element.
Exactly! It's very useful, and a shadows update will help the integration process much more.
Shadows are such a pain to animnate lmao
just keep posting stuffs...you guys really helping a lot of artists.
Yes, we will keep to it. Glad we could help :)
This is the perfect detail missing in my animations. Thank you!!!
So cool!
Nice demo, nice pace and overall style, I really like it. Thanks for sharing the updates, too.
Thanks for watching! No worries :)
Just a time saving tip: You can drag objects in the outliner to parent them, just like you can move files in a file mabager. It's faster than going to the menus and sometimes even faster than the keyboard shortcut, depending if your hand is already on the mouse.
Thanks for the tip :D
Mabager
it's Greased Lightning!
you win
Very well explained, thank you
Glad you liked it, you're welcome!
Wow, looks great!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks -
and thanks for offering the blend file as well to allow us to have a look at the file / how the animation was done.
Amazing what's possible with GP.
You're very welcome! Keep exploring :)
Excited for them to add shadows. Nice video!
Same here! It'll be such a great addition
So Good.. The last one ‘rotoscoping’ was a bit faster ,so I watched it several times. This one is perfect and well explained. Thank You Team Miracles..
Great to hear! We'll make sure to have all sections at a clear speed in the future :)
Thanks, this was inspiring!
Thanks! Great stuff! Just learning now! I need to plan a practice animation...
Go for it!
quality content like always, very helpful keep up.
Glad you think so!
this is very helpfull

All your tutorials and tips are so concise and well explained and always kept up to date. I don't know why you haven't become the Blender Guru of the 2D side of Blender's functions yet, these are magnificently helpful videos and this channel is criminally underrated.
The one critique I have is the cuts when you were doing the keyframes. I understand you cut it because it's rather mundane and will take up quite a while, but us noobs who worry every little click we make is disastrous like to see the entire process, to make sure there isn't some small thing we missed.
Maybe instead of cutting you could do a time lapse? That way we still get to see everything of the fascinating process and those already familiar with it don't have to suffer through.
Thank you so much for the support! We do cut down on the animation process because it is rather tedious and we aren't confident on sharing our process as a base for others to follow. We are also still growing as animators and our process for animation might not be the best to practise yet. However the tools and projects we do videos on are explored enough to give people an idea on what can be done in Blender :)
We could possibly release some timelapse footage in the future though!
Beautiful video and art . Love your content
Thank you! Cheers!
Well Structured tutorial
this totally helps. And by that am gonna hit subscribe❤
hey hey! thank youuu :D
Thanks a lot. This is very informative. I'm the 1000th like! 😁
Haha thanks for the support :D We're glad you liked it!
I'm playing with grease pencil myself and I just love it.
One of the fill things the we need as soon as possible is better fill and cast shadows.
Congrats on the animation and thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Can't agree more! cast shadows would be a great improvement
@@TeamMiracles It would, but it has been 3 years since the feature was considered in the todo list: blender.stackexchange.com/questions/128297/can-grease-pencil-get-light-shadows-like-a-regular-mesh
megasonics have u tried out the new improvements regarding fill in gp??
Thank you for the video
Thanks for watching!
Very cool
Thank you :)
Your channel is amazing.. Keep up👏👏👏👏👏👏😍😍
Thank you so much 😀
Amazing bra
I just draw my frame by frame in 2d area and I shift it to layout area, and I changed the world to dark. But the grease pencil object is like similer that we drawn in 2d area. I use 2.91, need help please
Cool tutorial i never knew blender would also do 2d animation maybe i just didnt notice, can u make how to do a smear tutorial i really wanna know how u make your smear in your unique way
Yup, grease pencil has been around for some time, but its becoming stronger now! We can look into that idea :)
Good job. To make the shadow that reacts to light use a 3D object such as a cube, place it on the character, give it a transparent shader.
I just uploaded three trailers made with Blender. Full episodes coming soon. They are finished my client just doesn't want to publish yet :(
Yes that is a workaround, however it will not work with an animated character very smoothly
the shadows can be made by using shadows feature in the effects tab
Hi! Hey, yes it can be, but it will only add a shape behind the GP object itself, not cast onto other objects due to interaction with a light source. This doesn't help with multiple light sources or different angles :)
I'm working on a grease pencil object that's using pure white fill. I've chosen not to use lights, but when I change to Viewport shading, it's not quite pure white. It looks a little duller.
Hi! I made my original grease pencil drawing in blender 2.8. I installed and opened it in blender 2.93 for this feature, but the light doesn't seem to affect my grease pencil objects even when the use light checkbox is ticked and I am in render mode. What do I do? Please help, Thank You :))
Hi, just wanna ask about lightning , i edit my work without scene world lighting, when i render my work, the result lighting still bright and effect by the scene world. Can you help me to solve this miss ?
Thank you 🙏
How do I render grease pencil with lights and effects? Do you use Eevee? And for pencil colors, can we use both vector paints and materials in Eevee?
Thanks!
Hi, may i ask why when i render my works with light, the light doesnt effect to my work in the output file ? Thank you
I can't seem to get the glow to work at all. I want it to work on certain layers, for example to get the eyes to glow and such, how do I get it to work on individual materials? Or do I need to have seperate layers to do so?
The glow effect can only be used on one entire Grease Pencil object at a time and not on individual layers . If you want a part of your animation to glow it will need to be in its own separate Grease Pencil object. I hope there eventually is a way to add effects to layers! That would be super useful.
this really looks like a song that ive watched called messed up by june , you should really check it out .
Thanks for the suggestion!
PLEASE TELL ME HOW I CAN ADD FOGGY EFFECT IN 2D MODE
My drawing isn't being dark when i click on use light in every layer....😀
solution pls
Hello,
I did as it was shown in the video, but the effect doesn't appear anywhere, it becomes invisible, as if I hadn't added it!
It doesn't matter if I have 3d objects in the scene or not or any tutorial I see doesn't help me and I can't find anything on Google.
Somebody help me please! ! 😢😢
I will be grateful ❤😄
Hey, Try changing the viewport shading to rendered, that reveals the lights.... maybe you're in a different viewport shading mode
i wanna work with you guys wanna learn all these cool things.
You can follow our channel, or if you're interested in working with us you could check out our website :)
pretty cool. The shadow didn't seem to interact with the lighting. I guess you could do the same for that though
Yes the shadows will have to be manually edited to reflect the lighting
Can this method apply when you click the "2D animation" on the splash screen?
Yes you can start this kind of project from that selection
So you drew the character on 3d or 2d animation? I just dont get it, the sun doesnt shine on my character at all
Do you know if lighting 2D illustrations and textures at the level of Klaus(which is gold standard) can be done in Blender?
It can be somewhat mimicked, but the efficiency of the LAS software they used for Klaus is something we haven't tried to replicate just yet :P We have a video about it on our channel if you want to check it out, but it was before this update :)

Isnt there a shadow option in grease pencil effects panel?
Hey, yes there is, but it will only add a shape behind the GP object itself, not cast onto other objects due to interaction with a light source. This doesn't help with multiple light sources or different angles :)
Yeah. Good work btw👍
How to make 2d animation help me
When I tick "use lights" on my layers, my fills are still as bright as if there was lighting... I have turned off world lighting and have no lights in my scene. What am I doing wrong?
I have the some problem! Help x_x. I'm on the Rendered View, Lights is on in Object Properties and my Layers have Use Lights ticked but my Greasepencil Object is still not being affected by my lights.
I've figured it out.The lights weren't appearing because they were directly above my 2D Greapencil Object *facepalm* Try rotating the object or the lights
😍😍😍😍😍
:DDD

Is light important for 2d animations?
Yes! if you want to add mood and form to scenes and objects, artists and animators will use light and shadow. Usually these are drawn on frame by frame, but with 3D lights you can get most of the atmospheric lighting and basic lights done much faster than drawing them on. Shadows don't work (directly) yet though, so those will have to be drawn :) Hope this clears it up :)
Team Miracles Is it fine to highlight the shadows and stuff manually? Just asking because I hate setting up the 3d lights :/
Why every blender Tutorial had that Logo on thumbnails?
Blender added a new community badge to unify blender content :)
"If you create videos, tutorials, books, or any content using Blender, show that you are part of the community by adding this badge to your thumbnails" is what they mention in their branding guidelines.
Glow effect doesnt work...
cyborg marci, my wife
You are Indian? And you very nice animation
Nope. Thank you :)
Seems like adding these lights is not very intuitive. I feel like a complete moron.
1. I created a dark world background
2. I created two simple objects, a square and a circle.
2. I checked to make sure the lighting option is on for those objects
3. I added a light source with the color yellow and increased its power to 1000. I tried different light sources including the sun and area.
No yellow lighting showed anywhere.
Then I tried parenting the light to a newly created circle object. Again, no yellow lighting showed at any angle.
Why can't this be simple enough where I add a lighting source like the sun and it automatically lights everything in the scene that is checked off with the option to receive lighting? Sheesh..... Spent an hour trying to figure this out.
Exactly what did you do between 2:22 to 2:25 to get the spotlight to turn on. That simple explanation would help immensely. I'm using blender 2.91 by the way.
@@henrythegreatamerican8136 could just be not enough power on the light, the power option in the light properties should be at least in the 1000s for it to reach anywhere. Otherwise, not sure what it might be
So cool!
Thanks :D
