The Future of Animation and Grease Pencil 

How much is Grease Pencil?

@@rahimpowell3508 I'm afraid I have to dissapoint you Blender is totally free and you can't pay for it, the grese pen is a function in the beta, on their website(It's in the stable to with less functions). But if you wan't to pay, join the development fund.

Spider-verse is the way of the future tbh. It's superior, visually, to pretty much everything 2D animate... ever...

I disagree Raptu Jragon Producing. 2d animation can look better and it has. For example; Redline, Mob Psycho 100, One Punch Man, All quality character animation in old 1990's Traditional animated movies from Disney and Dreamworks and don't even get me started on how beautiful Kizumonogatari is. I believe Spiderverse is the start of the mix of 3D and 2D animation coming together properly.

Akira is the Elixir of Anime.

Pro trick: you can watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

@Cash Boston Yup, have been using flixzone for years myself =)

once everything nodes and asset manager projects are added , they will make ever thing better, and soon grease pencil will work with both Cycles and EEVEE so u can have grease pencil object interacting with 3d environment/ lighting....etc the possibilities are endless

How is it going?

@@dieabsolutegluckskuche5174 I went back to adobe xD

@@Zyragonn the new blender updates are even more awsome

(commenting 1 year later, the new brush strokes happening in 2.9 are blissssssssssssssss)

@Tactical Exosuit Hey there! I totally appreciate it. So many thanks for following. :)

The best thing is... IT’S FREE

nuuuu tv paint is the best for pixel art

@@tobymdev however its a nightmare for compositing

@@kizz06 performance wise it does falter, but it has a really straight forward interface

@@tobymdev except for the multiplane camera...

@@kizz06 hahahahha i agree with that.

I know right! My jaw dropped. So stunning!

It's "Virtual"

¡Yesss, Birtual Enbairomen!

it is dude and it is only getting more stable and faster

yep, and soon grease pencil will work with both Cycles and EEVEE so u can have grease pencil object interacting with 3d environment/ lighting....etc the possibilities are endless

Yep, I knew there was a reason I hadn't bought Tilt Brush yet. It seems closer to a toy than a tool.

Someone remembers Tilt Brush? 😮

@Raphael Barros Yes, he says at the very beginning that he's from Barcelona and his very strong accent makes it obvious too. It's actually very charming, but I have to listen very closely to understand his words. There's nothing wrong with expecting to have an attentive audience, but I had so much trouble that I was about to skip this video entirely after a minute. I understand the Blender development team is a small community, but when presenting concepts to the entire world I think the delivery and quality can be improved upon. I'm not making a racist comment, I'm only pointing out what is obviously less than desirable about this video. But of course, someone has to defend this man's integrity as a contributor to the project as if that's what my comment was about. Look, I can speak both French and English, but I wouldn't feel comfortable with my less than perfect French to be a spokesperson for a product. If I were to stand in front of an audience and the world, believe me, I would make how I organize myself and speak a priority. Maybe, just maybe, someone who is more comfortable should be speaking on behalf of Blender. That's probably not in line with the spirit of what's being done, and I do recognize as I said that this is a community effort... but I think at the very least, someone with video editing skills should be cutting the video down, removing the frozen frame that appears for a few minutes at the end... If this doesn't make sense to you and you feel attacked personally, I think that might reflect on the kind of problems Blender 2.8 is likely to suffer from. I mean, how many years did it take before the right click default which everyone was having difficulty with was actually addressed? Anyway, I'm only talking about professionalism. Raising the bar a little. Making what's said clear... please and with all due respect.

@Raphael Barros I'm only doing what you're doing... interpreting, not making up a strawman. If you read my first comment, I spoke for myself saying that I had a hard time understanding what this man was saying. I'll point out that your reaction was to say that he made an important contribution to this tool and that you believe he's Spanish... so... his integrity... his nationality or race or culture. Why would you need to make a case for him anyway? I've also notice you didn't agree with me where I'm talking about the error in the editing process. Look, I just want these presentations to improve that's all. No one was hurt in the writing of my comment. ;)

I can understand the accent perfectly but his use of "uhhh..." every 5 seconds is incredibly annoying

@@firstnamelastname-pd6nj, well I don't want to pick in this man... but yes oh my God. If it's about getting a message across to the world then... a little refinement maybe? A tiny one? I'm only speaking for myself here. I need something clear... my excuse is that I'm supposed to be autistic and so I'm overly sensitive to these kinds of things.

I agree, and practicing pronunciation is not really that hard, I was raised in barcelona as well, I just write the words on google translate and analyze the sounds and repeat the pronunciation until I get it right. My accent doesn't sound spanish, it used to, but I practiced with observation, trial and error. A Bristish man told me that my accent is like a mix between british and american. And there's no problem in understanding what I say when I talk to english speaking people.

Whoa its the blender king of 2d 3d animation

Nobody knows... :(

hes also a food eater

I'm still in a dream FOOD EATER

Funny thing, in my subtitles it was translated as Gordo Fujita (FAT Fujita in spanish) LOL XD

Pick up the pencil start drawing then

Grease Pencil can totally be rigged to an armature.

Doesn't look like any more hard work than the traditional way.

You can place images and story board in 3d also

@@JorgitoInSpace Cheers. That's fantastic. So I can take a Tiff sequence and import it to roto against a 3D setup? I was thinking of rigging a 2D looking character with a 3D rig and then move it through an environment much like at the 16:50 mark.

@@christophermoonlightproduction Yes, you can use background images. They can use an image sequence as source. However, the current beta build of blender 2.80 seems to be a bit broken and the "Auto Refresh" option does nothing, so you have to click the refresh button on every frame change to see the correct image from the image sequence. So animation of these background images doesn't work at the moment. I'll report a bug...

@@blenderpanzi Thank you, and thanks for reporting it. I really appreciate that.
