I just watched this and the 10 hidden keyboard shortcuts-video and i gotta say these are the best tutorials for learning 2D in Blender. We need more! Great job!
Love your energy. Please stay 🙏✨ check the 1000subs video. There is a give away still running till Sunday evening ✨💪
This helped me immeasurably. And wow, Storytools makes such a massive difference. Thank you!
So great to hear✨ check out the end of my 1000subs video, I have a give away going😉
Thanks for making stuff like that, really useful features! Pls continue to make a video like this, so glad that there is a RUclipsr who provide a Blender Grease Pencils tools
Thanks for that! I have a couple more ideas for blender videos for the future 🙏
You can add grease pencil brushes by adding grease pencil tools in the preference addons menu. You do not need to download these anymore.
Great! Good to know
Thanks for sharing. Good to see the focus on the 2D side of Blender.
great to have you interested in it !
your gumroad tutorial is nicely done
i've dabbled in grease pencil a fair bit but still learned enough to feel i got value
many thanks and good luck with your channel (subbed)
Thanks, really nice to hear
Thank you for making this video.
Great video, thank you for taking the time to make it!
Thanks for your kind words 🙏
Total noob with GP. Nice vid but one bumble. You show how to rotate canvas before you indicate turning on the 'object: grease pencil tools' add on. The rotate canvas will not work until addon is checked. Just a slight continuity hiccup.
Over the garden wall is a goated show
amazing , clear and good lesson , thank you so much 🥰🐱
Thanks!
Fantastic, very helpful!
Good to hear, thanks🙏
Thank you very much for the video 🙏🏻
Thanks for the support! 🙏
Great stuff!
Thanks!
Awesome video! Thanks!
Great, thanks 🙏
Bro, you're the goat
Hahaha thank you
This is nice!
Thanks 🙏✨
can you please make video on how to shade and work with gradient colors and smudge effects How to achieve that or closer to something like that ?
Sounds really interesting, but not sure on how to achieve the smudge effects. Any hints?
thanks 👍
Thank you for the great videos! What beginner course would you recommend to start 2D animating (not just drawing) in Blender? There's many videos on YT, incuding yours, there's a bunch of classes on Udemy, but none focused on animation - it's usually only character creation or background building.
There are some really great videos here in RUclips by @alexgrigganimation . Toniko Pantoja has some great content about the basics too
I downloaded and added the Storytools Add-On in preferences (Blender 3.4.1) and the box is checked so it appears active but there is no drop down menu and it doesn't show up in the tools sidebar like the Grease Pencil Add-On tab. Any ideas?
Mhh... Interesting. Have you tried updating to blender 4.0 and using the story tools there?
Hello. if I have version 3.5, do I need to change it to Blender 3.6 ? I'm just learning the program, I would like more information on how to use it for beginners Thanks for sharing
Hi thanks for asking. You can stay on 3.5! 3.6 didnt bring many essenial upgrades. And all that I am showing in this video would work in 3.5 as well.
Generaly speacking I can recommend upgrading though.
Ok, so how to get the different menus? I opened the animation, have a white screen but no drawing tools and have no idea how get them. Is there something in preferences I need to add? I have no idea.
Strange. It should all be there at the start.but try the top bar, there should be a menu, "view" - toggle on the first 4 points in that menu. "Toolbar" "sidebar" "toolsettings" and "adjust last operation". When opening a new file make sure to choose a "2d animation" file. Hope that works for you 🙏
I'd like to try Blender, but I don't have a tablet. What would be a good inexpensive starter tablet for animation?
Any pen tablet is fine. I started on a wacom bamboo back in 2010. Get a used one somewhere to safe even more money. The next level up would be a wacom intuos (or aquivilant of other brands such as huion) I recommend a size m which is just about dina4. Not too big, not too small!
If drawing somewhere else with your hand and seeing the line only on the monitor feels weird, I would recommend getting a huion kamvas 13 pro. Also used if possible.
I have a video about drawing tablet stands, that might be interesting to watch as well.. hope it helps 🙏
Do you know the best way to be able to draw smooth lines? I only know that you can make the line get dragged behind the pen but it's a lot different from the way smooth lines work in Photoshop as it doesn't end where your pen is but needs to be dragged to the end instead. Is there another way?
I recommend using the sculpt tool brush "smooth" to make your lines smoother after you drew them
@@2dToolbox ah ok. I'll try that out! Thank you
Water break reminder, classic. 😂
So important! 💧
Hi! Thank you for the great tutorial! What kind of tablet are you using for drawing? I have one without the display and I find it kinda tough to get used to. Do you find that you prefer using a tablet with a drawing display? Just curious as to your thoughts!
thanks Nicole! I use a huion Kamvas pro 13 inch. It is super small and great for travelling. For a more perminent setup I would recommend at least a 16 inch tablet though. And I personally used a wacom bamboo for years and that was fine. but Ever since I have a cintiq at work and a huion at home I couldnt do withouth! It is one step closer to paper.
@@2dToolbox awesome thank you for the quick reply! I will check that out! I have subscribed and added you to my favourites as well and I plan to watch all your stuff! Excellent job!
great to have you arround! I want to do a desk setup video in the future to0. but at the moment there is just too much on my list
Hello @2dtoolbox I have a question, in the navigation I can't find how to rotate. I did the exact settings that you are discribing in the preference in input and keymap, but I can't rotate with ctrl + alt + middle mouse. I am searching this rotation thing for so long, can you help me with this ? Thank you
Hey Anne, I found out after the video, that the rotation only works with the grease pencil add-on installed. Just go to preferences - add-ons - search grease pencil in the search bar and tick that box next to the addon. Restart blender and it should work 🙏
You save my day.... thank you so much ( and for your reactivity !! wow )@@2dToolbox
Hey quick question. Do you really need a screen display tablet for grease pencil or it doesn't matter?
I would recommend a Grafik tablet instead of a mouse, but it doesn't need to be a screen display. A wacom bamboo or wacom intous style tablet is great as well
@@2dToolbox thanks for the quick response am reliefied😩
ctrl+alt+middle mouse doesnt rotate... idk why
edit: my bad, i was trying to rotate blank canvas.
Do you have the grease pencil add-on installed? It only works with that I found out later.
Thanks, i was having the same problem, i added the grease pencil add on in oreference, and it worked
Which device are you using for drawing
I am using a huion kamvas 13 pro.
What tablet are you using?
At home and when traveling, I use a Huion 13 Kamwas Pro and at work an older Wacom Cintique 22 hd - from time to time i also use a Wacom Intuos 2d generation i think
I’m using Blender 3.4 and cannot find this 2d animation tab anywhere. Suggestions anyone. Yes, I’m a noob. 🙏🏼
I am not 100 percent sure what you are talking about. There is a 2d animation file setting that opens the 2d animation workspace in the beginning. Is that the one you are missing? It is on the starting screen when you open Blender- should be there on Blender 3.4 as well
@@2dToolbox hi. Thanks for responding so swiftly. I discovered what I sought, like, a minute after posting 😂. I watch the video now 🙏🏼🙏🏼
cool, great to have you around!
Top Arbeit. Gern weitermachen! Wenn du diese Tutorials mal auf Deutsch machst, kann ich dich meinen Nichten zeigen. Die hätten sicher auch Interesse, aber die sind noch nicht so weit in ihrem Englischunterricht.. :)
Danke, aber ich fürchte es bleibt bei Englisch. Die deutsche Zielgruppe ist einfach zu klein 🙏 aber danke für den Support
Please bring Full episodes on 2d animation
Will do in the future 🙏
😖
??
You can hear it huh
l'm deaf, can't hear, sorry, it's okay
Sorry, I will add subtitles mid October!
Good😖
where did the view port come from ??? start telling everything !
MASSIVE FAIL EARLY ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Opening a 2D ANIMATION scene on the STARTiNG screen. The viewport/ canvas should look like it looks in the video by default.
@@2dToolbox;
thank you !!
Happy to help out.
on a side note, politeness goes a long way in life 🙏
@@2dToolbox ;
I need exactitude & precise answers .
It was all there! Watch 00:30 ...
Man I love your videos, so quick, simple, and easy to follow. I jumped into grease pencil in a day thanks to these, you're a life saver!
Thanks! Really happy to hear that 🙏🙏
