Ooooo can't wait. VFX and motion graphics artists will love it :)
Oh yeah, it is all coming together
I love how much attention Grease Pencil is getting!! Seems like an absolutely amazing tool!
This is going to be huge! Please developers, if you could implement a way to draw vectors the same way we draw them on Illustrator it would help SO MUCH! On Illustrator you can redraw vectors just by selecting them and using the pencil on top of it again. This would be a game changer for animators.
I'd like a grease pencil with bezier curves, not sections. Less points, smoother curves, easier editing.
There is simplifying the mesh and then converting that to curves. But you could lose control that you get from proportional editing. Hope this helps a little.
I´m looking for this option in the new Blender 2.8 but it looks like it is not available. Is there an update about the development status for this tool?
The option is avaible now in 2.93 alpha.
This is great news!
Perhaps eventually we will have export as well.
Super! And can one do also the opposite?
Export an SVG from grease pencil?
I really do love these update videos, the music, the presentation, it's superb! Hope to see more of these
"Import Images as Planes"... just got a WHOLE NEW MEANING... :-) Great work Blender Team!
😂 😂
Awesome!
Oooo, nice!! This will make life a lot easier :) Now if only we got access to individual characters in the text objects (even just via python or something), I could move my whole workflow to Blender and leave After Effects in the dust!
Do you really think that it's posible to replace After Effects with Blender? I haven't found a complete replacement yet, so that's why I still dual boot Windows with Linux
Is it possible that the levels are on the same plane and intersect each other creating visualization problems? (Especially if I scale the object) If yes, how can it be solved? Thank you
Wow man this is nice.😃👍
VERY cool! No more converting an SVG into a tessellated plane
every time I see this I can't help but feel curves needs a sculpting capability as well.
Man... this has to happen! All my Inkscape drawing fever will be turned in blender animations soon!
YES. YES! I have been hoping for this. This will allow SWF preservation efforts!
Great stuff! Where would I find the updated addon? Is it in any of the branches?
Does anyone know when would Inkscape 1.0 be ready?
it's already in alpha stage right now
but inkscape development is known to be slow
@@udese730 not even beta, wow, thanks
I'm an absolute beginner in blender but I'm loving the software. I'm trying to figure out something: Can we export 2d animated frames as .svg too?
why would you have color on your svg imported to blender 2.82? while mine imported from illustrator is grey?
already did it, some one's tutorial.
Duuuude. Imagine doing some kind of a SVG _export_ from Grease Pencil! It'd be ultra tricky though, as SVG hold 2D images only, as far as I know. But, maybe, with a bunch of math it would be possible to figure a way to do this from the camera perspective. Render out your animation from Blender with SVG, and then import into anything else with infinite quality! lol
It's pretty simple math, actually. If it can import, it's only a matter of time before it can export. It's a much requested feature.
No, I mean, with 3D orientation. You can draw in 3D with grease pencil, right? How exactly do you transform a 3D vector drawing into a 2D vector drawing? Sure, with lines it probably would be easy, but not so much with fills, or additional stuff like modifiers. You'd need to employ depth sorting, culling unneeded geometry and geometry that is behind other geometry, and so on. I don't think you can use OpenGL which Blender uses to rasterize it to draw it on your screen, as this is all vector based. Dunno, sounds tough!
@@Architector_4 It's all linear algebra, so it can be done with matrices. There's a specific matrix called the projection matrix that takes 3D data and squeezes it into a camera- this is what Blender and any other 3D app uses to get images on screen.
But you're right. I hadn't considered the depth sorting and all that. I imagine the exporter could use the same logic as the display, though.
@@josephbrandenburg4373
Maybe. I'd imagine they would have to reuse Boolean modifier code in some way for this, to occlude geometry.
Smash it all into 2D using projection matrix, then figure edges of every single thing and use Boolean to separate all things by all edges into identically shaped overlapping shards of the original shapes, then perform depth sorting to figure which one of the shards should be used for each fragment, and then delete the other shards. Then find shards that belonged to one shape and are right next to each other, and combine then back.
I dunno if this random method I've just devised is stupid and will not work for obvious reason X, or maybe I have just invented the future SVG exporter, or maybe I wrote a bunch of stuff that is nonsense for everyone else excluding me and by the time I figure that I would forget what I originally meant... lol
Looking forward on the update in this feature🙏
Is there a build we can try this with now? I don't see a "Grease Pencil" target option in the SVG import for 2.83.
This would be amazing, as I mainly design my characters using vector shapes in Moho or Inkscape. I'm fairly new to Blender, and trying to draw vector based characters in Blender is painful (for me at least). I did a simple test in 2.82 beta yesterday. I drew a box in GP on a "lines" layer, and then filled that box with a color on a "fills" layer. One major problem I have with the way Grease Pencil works, is when you want to move/adjust points/vertexes, the fill color doesn't follow the points, because they're separate objects. Unless I'm missing something that isn't readily apparent, I wish the strokes and fills were more easily married together somehow, so that when I move a point or stroke, the fill color follows it perfectly and automatically, which is how it works in any other vector drawing program. I know the developers will probably work all these things out though, at least I hope they will, haha. Grease Pencil has ENORMOUS potential to disrupt a lot of other 2D software, just like Blender as a whole is doing for 3D!
I wonder if it brings in the colors with it? Very cool : )
Can't you technically import inkscape the program into blender?
hi ! where can I download this blender 2.82 ?
this is phenomenal
Love it! :)
it doesn't seems to work in 2.82 yet... any clue?
I'm seeking the same thing.
One year later... didn't it work yet? I was hoping to use this, but right now I'm still limited to importing to paths with no line widths :-(
Excellent
Any updates on this svg to Greasepencil importer?
The option is avaible now in 2.93 alpha.
Super cool!!!
Hell yeah, this is really exciting.
Trying this with 2.83 experimental build after no success with 2.82 stable build. Anyone got this working in the last 8 months since this video's release? Using Illustrator to save out my SVG. Is this the problem? Does the SVG carry extra info from Inkscape so Blender sees it as GP data? Any update on this would be much appreciated.
I can't use grease pencil as I'm obsessed with clean flawless stokes whereas grease pencil is better for sketchy looking art.
Awesome!!! Does it comes with ramp color effect to?
Can you put them in object mode and extrude the edges? It could save time in making cardboard cut outs for example.
I made a svg image but I can't modify the opacity, what is wrong?
Music "Oskar Schuster - Sneeuwland" I just love blender
You know you're doing something right when you have a 360 to 0 like ratio.
Will it support layers?
and now blender becomes an svg editor too... in the next relase it will make coffee while you render!
and file your taxes.
Inkscape! My new friend... let me customize your keyb.... woops. All right new importer! :D
didn't understand
didn't understand
was this marged ? im not able to find the import target
You mad hatters. This is bloody awesome if you can get it to work - can convert some cool ass sketches into blender
So coool! I can't wait! :)
Why i can't import svg as grease pencil in 2d animation?
Dont work Blender 2.93 svg from inkscape - "Unable to import SVG"
Good evening. Is this already working?
How about SVG files from Inkscape?
Please more update videos! :)
for me its importing as a curve, is this an addon ?
Why my vector imports black? Any remedy?
Can i do the opposite? Grease pencil to svg?
Is this up and running yet?
My prayers were heard
WOW, tanks
Hmm. Notice this doesn't work well from SVG files coming from Illustrator
is this available in blender latest daily build?
This is now possible in Blender 2.93 (at the moment in Alpha version).
is there an export to code option?
is this live?
Is this working out yet?
totally awesome! :3
Yes!!!!!! Thank you!
What is that music piece called? I love it!
And what is that beatiful piano music from ?
Look in the description.
Hmm... well... I would greatly benefit of the animation could be exported. as JSON etc..
So....
Now.....
waiting for 2.82....
Huh !!?
😅😅😅
can you export grease pencil as SVGs ?
They are barely working on importing SVG's. Exporting from a 3d environment is going to be tricky.
what happen with this?
Next up is a pen tool similar to that of illu6
Great!!
amazing Oh my god
Can you just like copy photoshop in Blender pls? :D
This tool is just amazing!
Any word on this?
AMAZING 😁💪💪💪
I have and recognize Inkscape in beginning but what’s the black or dark mode software that the image is opened back up in?
... Blender?
Mantaps iki
OMG!!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Please improve the NURBS Modeling. Now it is sadly unusable.
