Grease Pencil 3: A technical deep-dive

Will Blender 4.0 include features available in Blender SPA?

I hope someone makes a much simpler video regarding 2D animation in Grease Pencil 3.0 (with some practical examples), because sadly this is a bit too technical for me to understand how this differs from the previous version. But I appreciate you folks' work!! Thank you for giving us this amazing free tool to express ourselves!

why is the sound always so low for BCon??

Linked keyframessounds very cool!

Actually there is another optimization that you can use.
Instead of copying the position data, you just create a vector of offset from the original position.
And you can create a stack of that offset to implement the undo feature.
And when the user commits the change, then that stack will collapse and finish be applied to the original position data.

Great work, great talk! :D

The thing im most excited about right now is GP 3

I hope as well that we can import and export grease pencil objects and curves as SVG

if the speaker ends up reading the comments, I really hope you guys can implement preexisting brush formats INTO grease pencil, such as Photoshop, Gimp, MyPaint, Etc formats, because people who already have a favorite brush/brush pack in these engines could simply import their favorites into blender and instantly get results they're used to. I know blender has their own brush format, and it should still get more development, but also, others have invented the wheel to good effect already, why not bring their work and the benefits that follow into blender

Exciting.

Cool! I hope a grease pencil pass option is also coming for the rework :)

Grease pencil should be more like procreate dreams

Road is long but I believe in you guys! GPv3 will be so good, I'm sure of it! ❤ You can do so much even now and with geo nodes support the possibilities will be insane. Exciting times!

It's so cool to be part of Grease Pencil while it's growing so rapidly like this. Linked keyframes and GEOMETRY NODES??? I genuinely believe one of the best reasons artists should be investing their time in GP is how promising a future this tool has. What other animation software is this damn exciting? I watched your SPA talk last year and was SO amazed at the tools you developed for them, learning that you're working on Blender official full-time makes me even more optimistic about what's in store for us next. Thanks for the talk!!!

That curve to mesh node sounds intresting. We can finally have that keymesh/claymation addon functionality inside the grease pencil system. Shout out to the grease pencil team.

We appreciate the work you do Falk David and team
. It's a tonne of work to rebuild this, and we are super excited to see this progress. The active smoothing change looks great, very clever, as one example shown here. Are there plans to implement some of the SPA features, like shift and trace, in the future?

Investing now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today. The Inflation is killing me prices is killing us all. The money made is not enough to sort everything out and the family. What we need is a lucrative business or investment. And I just did and very proud I did!!

I look forward to the development of LineArt

Letssss goooo
