How far can the new ClayPencil workflow be pushed? Turns out, pretty far. Dino-might! #Blender #GreasePencil #stopmotion #2D #2Danimation

@DrawNear_ Also, check your local libraries - some in my area have digital labs with large format printers and 3D printers and will print at a very reasonable cost.

Fun fact: Walgreens can same-day a poster out of pretty much any image within reason for super cheap. There’s almost always a discount code. I used AI to upscale this Outer Wilds poster that was only released with physical game copies in Japan and had a 16x20” printed for $8.60.

@_pepeland_ Thanks! Looking forward to trying it out.

Cool one @letkeman :) We are currently working on Claypencil v 0.2 with many changes!

Farmer drives his tractor. Created with Grease Pencil to ClayPencil workflow in Blender. #Blender #GreasePencil #stopmotion #2D #2Danimation #ClayPencil

@gangemi_renato Use the mouth shape and plug it into the Boolean node in the Head node. Then set the Boolean setting to difference in the body node. This will subtract the mouth shape from the head. Hope that makes sense.

@letkeman Great result! Congratulations! If I may, could I ask you a question? How did you create the "mouth hole"? I've been trying here, but I'm having trouble figuring it out...

ClayPencil character update. Safety Glasses required. #Blender #GreasePencil #stopmotion #2D #2Danimation

@jonhanlan Thanks! Indeed it is - and using the “all layers” setting in interpolation dialogue box makes it a breeze to use with many layers.

@letkeman Super neat. The interpolation is with the regular GP Interpolation tool?

@LawtonArtist Thanks! @cgcookie has a 7 video Grease Pencil primer to get started. youtu.be/hpyDGcltGSk?si…

@letkeman Are there any specific grease pencil tutorials you can recommend? I keep seeing incredible things made with it. I’ve a fairly decent working knowledge of Blender, but zero grease pencil experience. That cat is ace by the way.

Another ClayPencil animation test + original behind the scenes Grease Pencil artwork+ addition of Foreground/background using ClayPencil. No rigging or modelling - just straight up 2D animation and illustration. #Blender #GreasePencil #stopmotion #2D #2Danimation #ClayPencil

@_pepeland_ @antonioya_blend @mmendio A-mazing!! Thank you guys for your hard work.

Working in the next ClayPencil v0.2. New Loft option generation using the only Grease Pencil strokes for more complex 3D shapes and add-on too. Great to work again with @antonioya_blend and @mmendio :) #Blender #B3D #ClayPencil #GreasePencil #stopmotion #2D #2danimation

My children's picture book, The King, The Princess, and The Gorilla, is now available on Amazon! This story has a special place in my heart—as it was my father-of-the-bride speech at my daughter’s wedding. I hope you enjoy the story! #picturebook #fatherdaughter #storytime

@_pepeland_ Thanks. Such a cool tool!

Great one @letkeman! #ClayPencil

@brabaro Yes! So much so, I found reasons to use it at work this week.

@letkeman This is great! So many possibilities 💫

New ClayPencil character test. This clip consists of 16 drawings animated on 2’s. The Grease Pencil Time Offset modifier was used to repeat the walk cycle. #Blender #GreasePencil #stopmotion #2D #2Danimation #ClayPencil

@Picouplus @_pepeland_ Very Fun. Tiny bit of a learning curve at the start. But once your character is set up it’s great. Overall a great tool for such an early release.

@letkeman @_pepeland_ Seems really fun to use!
