Import SVG as Grease Pencil - Work in Progress 

Ooooo can't wait. VFX and motion graphics artists will love it :)

Oh yeah, it is all coming together

I love how much attention Grease Pencil is getting!! Seems like an absolutely amazing tool!

This is going to be huge! Please developers, if you could implement a way to draw vectors the same way we draw them on Illustrator it would help SO MUCH! On Illustrator you can redraw vectors just by selecting them and using the pencil on top of it again. This would be a game changer for animators.

I really do love these update videos, the music, the presentation, it's superb! Hope to see more of these

I'd like a grease pencil with bezier curves, not sections. Less points, smoother curves, easier editing.

"Import Images as Planes"... just got a WHOLE NEW MEANING... :-) Great work Blender Team!

This is great news! Perhaps eventually we will have export as well.

Awesome!

I´m looking for this option in the new Blender 2.8 but it looks like it is not available. Is there an update about the development status for this tool?

Oooo, nice!! This will make life a lot easier :) Now if only we got access to individual characters in the text objects (even just via python or something), I could move my whole workflow to Blender and leave After Effects in the dust!

Wow man this is nice.😃👍

Super! And can one do also the opposite? Export an SVG from grease pencil?

Super cool!!!

VERY cool! No more converting an SVG into a tessellated plane

Love it! :)

Excellent

YES. YES! I have been hoping for this. This will allow SWF preservation efforts!

and now blender becomes an svg editor too... in the next relase it will make coffee while you render!

Duuuude. Imagine doing some kind of a SVG _export_ from Grease Pencil! It'd be ultra tricky though, as SVG hold 2D images only, as far as I know. But, maybe, with a bunch of math it would be possible to figure a way to do this from the camera perspective. Render out your animation from Blender with SVG, and then import into anything else with infinite quality! lol

Man... this has to happen! All my Inkscape drawing fever will be turned in blender animations soon!

every time I see this I can't help but feel curves needs a sculpting capability as well.

this is phenomenal

You know you're doing something right when you have a 360 to 0 like ratio.

WOW, tanks

Hell yeah, this is really exciting.

This is now possible in Blender 2.93 (at the moment in Alpha version).

You mad hatters. This is bloody awesome if you can get it to work - can convert some cool ass sketches into blender

Inkscape! My new friend... let me customize your keyb.... woops. All right new importer! :D

Great stuff! Where would I find the updated addon? Is it in any of the branches?

Looking forward on the update in this feature🙏

I can't use grease pencil as I'm obsessed with clean flawless stokes whereas grease pencil is better for sketchy looking art.

Can't you technically import inkscape the program into blender?

I'm an absolute beginner in blender but I'm loving the software. I'm trying to figure out something: Can we export 2d animated frames as .svg too?

So coool! I can't wait! :)

Please more update videos! :)

This would be amazing, as I mainly design my characters using vector shapes in Moho or Inkscape. I'm fairly new to Blender, and trying to draw vector based characters in Blender is painful (for me at least). I did a simple test in 2.82 beta yesterday. I drew a box in GP on a "lines" layer, and then filled that box with a color on a "fills" layer. One major problem I have with the way Grease Pencil works, is when you want to move/adjust points/vertexes, the fill color doesn't follow the points, because they're separate objects. Unless I'm missing something that isn't readily apparent, I wish the strokes and fills were more easily married together somehow, so that when I move a point or stroke, the fill color follows it perfectly and automatically, which is how it works in any other vector drawing program. I know the developers will probably work all these things out though, at least I hope they will, haha. Grease Pencil has ENORMOUS potential to disrupt a lot of other 2D software, just like Blender as a whole is doing for 3D!

Music "Oskar Schuster - Sneeuwland" I just love blender

it doesn't seems to work in 2.82 yet... any clue?

Yes!!!!!! Thank you!

My prayers were heard

totally awesome! :3

Will it support layers?

Does anyone know when would Inkscape 1.0 be ready?

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Is there a build we can try this with now? I don't see a "Grease Pencil" target option in the SVG import for 2.83.

Awesome!!! Does it comes with ramp color effect to?

OMG!!!

I wonder if it brings in the colors with it? Very cool : )

One year later... didn't it work yet? I was hoping to use this, but right now I'm still limited to importing to paths with no line widths :-(

I made a svg image but I can't modify the opacity, what is wrong?

why would you have color on your svg imported to blender 2.82? while mine imported from illustrator is grey?

Trying this with 2.83 experimental build after no success with 2.82 stable build. Anyone got this working in the last 8 months since this video's release? Using Illustrator to save out my SVG. Is this the problem? Does the SVG carry extra info from Inkscape so Blender sees it as GP data? Any update on this would be much appreciated.

Can you put them in object mode and extrude the edges? It could save time in making cardboard cut outs for example.

Why i can't import svg as grease pencil in 2d animation?

Any updates on this svg to Greasepencil importer?

Mantaps iki

was this marged ? im not able to find the import target

Great!!

How about SVG files from Inkscape?

AMAZING 😁💪💪💪

Can i do the opposite? Grease pencil to svg?

Why my vector imports black? Any remedy?

amazing Oh my god

for me its importing as a curve, is this an addon ?

hi ! where can I download this blender 2.82 ?

Dont work Blender 2.93 svg from inkscape - "Unable to import SVG"

is there an export to code option?

Is it possible that the levels are on the same plane and intersect each other creating visualization problems? (Especially if I scale the object) If yes, how can it be solved? Thank you

Next up is a pen tool similar to that of illu6

What is that music piece called? I love it!

is this live?

Is this up and running yet?

is this available in blender latest daily build?

Hmm. Notice this doesn't work well from SVG files coming from Illustrator

Good evening. Is this already working?

And what is that beatiful piano music from ?

Hmm... well... I would greatly benefit of the animation could be exported. as JSON etc..

Is this working out yet?

Can you just like copy photoshop in Blender pls? :D This tool is just amazing!

Please improve the NURBS Modeling. Now it is sadly unusable.

So.... Now..... waiting for 2.82.... Huh !!? 😅😅😅

Any word on this?

what happen with this?

can you export grease pencil as SVGs ?

I have and recognize Inkscape in beginning but what’s the black or dark mode software that the image is opened back up in?

Microsoft Windows is not free software. Use only free software if you are making free software!
