📢 The "Storytools" addon I maintain is now on the Blender extension platform. It can be installed in one click directly from Blender (starting from Blender 5.0). Extension Page: extensions.blender.org/add-ons/storyt… #b3d #b2d #greasepencil #storyboard

GP draw transform addon received a massive update ! Here are the highlights of this new 2.5 version Gumroad: pullusb.gumroad.com/l/gp_draw_tran… Blender market: superhivemarket.com/products/greas… #blender #b2d #greasepencil

Just released GP Shaper, a Blender addon I've been working on for a while. Here's a quick demo! Available on Gumroad: pullusb.gumroad.com/l/gp_shaper #b3d #b2d #greasepencil

Big update in our #blender3d addon, animate full 3d poses with hand drawn timing charts dedouze.gumroad.com/l/fsbdw (music of this preview from Deer Breeze by S Kiyotaka)

@e_ohkushi Important note: The addon "Storytools" is not related to Blender official "Story Tools" project. Event if the two have almost the same name (the space matter here) and same goal. The pdf exporter in my addon can only merge image files. The future native solution will be better.

Congratulations to @gintszilbalodis and the entire Flow film crew for the Academy Award win! Flow is the manifestation of Blender’s mission, where a small independent team is able to create a story that moves audiences worldwide. Thank you for the shout out! 🧡 #b3d

@BruteForceGame So cool! Reminds me of an old game project I did with friends (a 3 weeks game-jam-like session). Except yours looks awesomely playable !! vimeo.com/153121913

Simple Concept #unity3d #solodev #gamedev

Morw test to more fine-tune the ClayPencil tool, to convert Grease Pencil animations into 3D characters in real time. This time using a reference from the lovely @pedroalpera #Blender #B3D #ClayPencil #GreasePencil #stopmotion #2D #2danimation

For Blender grease pencil enthusiasts: I gave a talk at Blender conference 2024 about Storytools, an addon for 2D viewport interaction and hybrid storyboard workflow I'm currently developing at ADVstudio. youtu.be/eoRJwO1kjAk?si… #b3d #b2d #greasepencil #BCON24

Relay for the Blender French community: My friend Mario Hawat @kyraneth talked in length about Blender with @UnderscoreTalk FR: @kyraneth raconte Blender dans l'émission "Underscore_" et ça va motiver du monde à s'y mettre ! youtube.com/watch?v=_NK-Ab… #b3d

@tibolasticot Nice. Are the 3D model of the keycaps accurate ? (ex: usable for 3D printing). Do you sometimes share the models of your animations somewhere ?

point-based pose morph ftw

"The Night Watch" (Ronde de Nuit) french animated short film by Julien Regnard is finally online. Produced in 2021 by Autour de Minuit & Squarefish, it was one of the first 2D animated project using Grease Pencil and a full Blender pipeline. Full film >> catsuka.com/news/2024-04-2…

WARNING: Using Geonode Tools deletes all shapes keys on your objects, even if you just pass the Geometry (we found this out the hard way mid-production)Anyone has any workaround for this bug? This makes Tools unusable in production settings, unfortunately. #b3d @simonthommes

@dedouze_ @bclark_cgchar Nice ! Congrats

I was invited at google’s office to present my art process, and of course I made a live drawing with #blender3d #b3d youtu.be/28peBatMtmU?si…

A cool short film made with Blender grease pencil, go watch it while it's online! Working on it had been a really nice and smooth experience, thanks to the great team at Autour de minuit. #b3d #bd2 #greasepencil

@KumbhakarPreeti It's "Grease Pencil Tools", it's already in Blender ! You just have to activate it. ;) In the addon preferences : go in "timeline scrub" tab, you can customize the shortcut to call the timeline there. Default is "Alt+Mid-click" (I often remap it to "Alt+left-Click").

@pullusb Can you tell which add on you are using to navigate the timeline

My Blender addon "GP draw transform" now respects autokey ! pullusb.gumroad.com/l/gp_draw_tran… blendermarket.com/products/greas… A "frame hint" can be enabled to show when a key is created. See attached demo: making a fancy monkey without leaving draw mode using the addon. #b3d #greasepencil
