How to Animate a Run Cycle with Grease Pencil in Blender

In this episode we take a look at adding a 2D run cycle to a looping 3D scene in Blender 3.1. We'll cover the theory of run cycles, as well as modelling, texturing and rendering the 3D elements. Let's do it!

You have to do a pure greace pencil tutorial mate, this is brilliant 👍

[@TipTut]

There's a "Grease Pencil for Beginners" in the works, just want to make sure I'm getting everything right before I record that one.

[@firesightstudios5823]

Great video, I have a question - Okay so i'm working on my first few grease pencil scenes and I want to clarify a good animation workflow - so you create a sketch of the gestures for the animation, then you draw over each frame with your full character, using onion skin to continue drawing the character effectively? I've been working on an animation, and catch myself using edit mode more to move points around / redraw certain aspects(like the hands or legs) to animate it. Is this technique still effective, or am I wasting time?

[@Smileymations]

Hey tiptut! Its me again. Is there a chanse that you can do a tutorial of stickfigure animation in adobe animate?

[@TipTut]

Check out my first intro to Adobe Animate series

Um, dude, that’s called cheating. I hope you were able to turn in something you did yourself because if this is what you’re trying to do as a career, you will get blacklisted for taking others work on the job
