Working in a real production is the best way to fine tune a software and find the real artistic requirements as well as to polish workflows. Lara is on production for several weeks already, working in a daily basis with the Grease Pencil branch. But this challenge makes more exciting to work in an area that can change how 2D animation will work in the future.Ĭhristmas is around the corner and the Hero open movie directed by Daniel M. Grease pencil has something very special, because you need to keep the feeling of a 2D animation inside a 3D environment, integrating these two worlds smoothly. Since then, I have done more than 1,100 commits for grease pencil as a volunteer and I think it’s time to write my first blog entry. The book is also available in a discounted set along with The Complete Guide to Blender Graphics: Computer Modeling & Animation.Spring 2016, I was playing around with Blender 2.77 grease pencil when I noticed a bug in the stroke filling, so I decided try to fix it and contribute to the Blender project.


Grease Pencil is a component of the 3D modeling and animation program, Blender.

It is assumed that the reader has no previous knowledge of the Blender program and treats 2D Animation using the Grease Pencil as a standalone application. This book describes how to access the Grease Pencil component in Blender and create 2D Animation within the Blender 3D environment.
