hey Paul great to see you dropping some blender/grease pencil knowledge again. I'm still stuck in a geo nodes rabbit hole, but seeing this gives me a kick to get back into grease pencil
it is worth chicking out just kidding would you add the animatig diffrent elements in the same frame I am working on a shot with small birds flying around a castle so that will be very helpfull
Hello paul do you now how to copy mirror paste in grease pencil for example an arm or leg on the body from one side to the other side. Really cool knowledge.
I like the addon but I wouldnt be making edits that way in the VSE. That would get messy very quickly. Thats where the open in separate window gets useful to edit the keys in the shot but see the change at VSE level at the same time. Love the video.
Works, but to get it to start I had to use F3 and type storypencil to get it to start. The menu under Draw didn't show "Setup Storyboard Session". I'm using Windows 10.
great ...GP workflow news...thats great... questions me... is the timing relativ for the first scene clip..? So you can push the Clip to Minute 1:00 and in 1:20 the animated update happened then.? or is this always bondet to the absolut VsE timeline.... and works the NLA Editor with GP to.....?
The second one. Each strip contains the frames of each scene from 1 to end. If you move the strip, frame one is relative to the strip. Not the overall timeline.
Really cool. Blender reaps the benefits of an "All in One" tool. Are sound files an "asset"? Might be a real market there for sound effects and background audio. Allow sound assets to be dragged onto VSE for instance - but not sure if that's flexible/maintainable as an artist. Haven't really even looked at audio functionality in blender other than adding to VSE, but maybe there's opp for other places like tied to a keyframe, for instance, or a driver
Thank you for this quick video! Just today I heard that Blender updated (I was a few versions behind lol) and this tool seems to be mega useful but I couldn't figure out how to quickly use it! Now I know! Cheers!
well done, maybe it will be brought up at BCon22 like so much, wow the changes over the last two years has been amazing and bright into the future of Blender and the community! What a tool it is!
This might seem basic but how is it that you are drawing in Material Preview mode and the BG is white? I always have a grey and since there are no lights the colors are always darker.
The 2D Animation preset has a world setting with white as the background color. You can also change it yourself, or in your preview settings (small down arrow next to preview modes) you can enable "use lights" and "use world"
@@PCaggegi Right on.. The animation preset is what I need. I'll keep plugging at trying to get there from a general preset to see what exactly is happening there. Cheers!
Hi Paul, I just downloaded the latest version of Blender. 3.4. I can't seem to find the add-on. Did they change the name of the add-on or simply didn't add it in yet? Thank you for your teaching material. Good stuff! Cheers,
@@jeanclaudedelaronde hey Jean! yeah updates are sorely needed haha. I've been pretty occupied with producing content for @cgcookie at the moment, but it is definitely on my to-do list.
You can split and edit same scene as separate strips (eg: to add effects, change timing, grade wtc), but any changes you make in that scene will show up in your strip. The strip is connected to the scene.
@@PCaggegi I see. So, I think there is no approach to creating small animation loops with multiple objects (as we do with smart objects in photoshop or movie Clips in Animate CC) in Blender, right? Because, if I do it, using the copy scenes, the file doubles the size.
Thank you Paul! This is great!
Great help, as usual.
Yep this is very cool!!!
hey Paul great to see you dropping some blender/grease pencil knowledge again. I'm still stuck in a geo nodes rabbit hole, but seeing this gives me a kick to get back into grease pencil
This is great! It's going to be so useful, thanks for sharing!
Hello ! Great !
this feature works for 3d animation and cam ? like a clip ?
because this missing in previs for now.
BROTHER, YOU ARE THE BEST!!! You oooh really helped me!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
it is worth chicking out
just kidding
would you add the animatig diffrent elements in the same frame
I am working on a shot with small birds flying around a castle
so that will be very helpfull
thanks paul 😂. the i dont get it part was refering to me 😂
the documentation is indeed not there, thanks for the clarification
Hello paul do you now how to copy mirror paste in grease pencil for example an arm or leg on the body from one side to the other side.
Really cool knowledge.
played in in a bit now and i love it, finally I can do animatics in blender : D
Agree.. this system really easier to understand tho... thanks for the explanation
I like the addon but I wouldnt be making edits that way in the VSE. That would get messy very quickly. Thats where the open in separate window gets useful to edit the keys in the shot but see the change at VSE level at the same time. Love the video.
😮😊wow that is really awesome 😎, I think it will be awesome to do text animation motion. Thank so much for this info. 👍
Makes me think it could be good for creating a motion comic
Works, but to get it to start I had to use F3 and type storypencil to get it to start. The menu under Draw didn't show "Setup Storyboard Session". I'm using Windows 10.
Yes. It assumes you're going to begin a storyboard project from the start.
great ...GP workflow news...thats great...
questions me...
is the timing relativ for the first scene clip..?
So you can push the Clip to Minute 1:00 and in 1:20 the animated update happened then.?
or is this always bondet to the absolut VsE timeline....
and works the NLA Editor with GP to.....?

Such a simple and elegant feature!
Thanks for explainin' cobber.

its not in the 3.4 official release is it?
No. :( They removed it from the official release because it's still in testing. It's now in the 3.5 Alpha under "testing"
when i type it in i'm not seeing it so is this a appon i have to fine and download ??
Yup. It was in the beta version, but they removed it from official release cos it's still in testing. It's there in 3.5 alpha

Nice explanation and demo. Thank you.
Great tutorial - thanks for sharing it Paul
This was fantastic, thank you
hi story pencil doesnt show on my addons window. any help?
Yup. Official release removed it from the testing tab, as it is still being developed. You will find it in 3.5 Alpha.
@@PCaggegi thanks for the info!
Thank you so much for this.
This is great, thank you!
Thanks Paul! Also I've heard there's an another alternative addon called Ubisoft Shot Manager for Blender. Have you tried that one?
Oooh no I haven't! I'll look that one up!
Hi Paul,
I just downloaded the latest version of Blender. 3.4.
I can't seem to find the add-on.
Did they change the name of the add-on or simply didn't add it in yet?
Thank you for your teaching material. Good stuff!
Cheers,
Yeah cos it's still testing, it's available in 3.5 Alpha, but not main branch release 3.4
@@PCaggegi
I'm using Blender 3.5.1
Any updates on the horizon for this Version of Blender?
Thanks
@@jeanclaudedelaronde hey Jean! yeah updates are sorely needed haha. I've been pretty occupied with producing content for @cgcookie at the moment, but it is definitely on my to-do list.
I hope you can do a Comics course just like the mermaid course for grease pencil in blender!
Finished that one with a great result!
I recently released one on CG COOKIE cgcookie.com/courses/panels-create-a-comic-book-with-grease-pencil-in-blender
@@PCaggegi Awesome! I ask and it is given! ;D
Great work! Itś a must-have buy!
The strips are still linked in the same scene when I split them. Is there a way to create strips, without keeping them or without creating new scenes?
You can split and edit same scene as separate strips (eg: to add effects, change timing, grade wtc), but any changes you make in that scene will show up in your strip. The strip is connected to the scene.
