The videos are not new, in fact they still use Blender 2.5 Alpha 0, but this doesnâ€™t mean that they won`t be useful.īlender 2.5 Grease Pencil Tutorial from Viralata on Vimeo.īlender 2.5 grease pencil tutorial part 2 from Viralata on Vimeo. If you never thought about grease pencil as a tool for architectural visualization, I just found two great tutorials about grease pencil, showing how to use them in an architectural visualization context. Since I also work as a teacher and evaluating projects from students all the time, using grease pencil is quite important for me, in order to keep a clear communication with students, about the problems and development of their projects. Still in active development: Grease Pencil 3.0, the Extensions Platform and Animation 2025 Outside the rendering toolset, projects still in active development include Grease Pencil 3.0, the latest major update to Blender’s storyboarding and 2D animation toolset, now due to be merged into the main branch.

But, a tool like grease pencil can be useful to architectural visualization artists too, and help on the process of developing details for a scene. In the last releases of Blender 2.4x a tool called grease pencil was added to allow animators to create notes and sketch over a character, making it possible to work and share notes on a team. It is a tool that seamlessly closes the gap between 2D and 3D workflow.There are a lot of tools in Blender that help us to create architectural visualization, but some of them may add another layer of productivity, even for schools that teach architecture. If you are trying to draw over your designs to speed up your 3D workflow, grease pencil is the way to go. If you are trying to speed up your 2D workflow, like using 3D block-outs for perspective or 3D mannequins to pose your reference, grease pencil will help you a lot. I`ve been using Grease Pencil for my professional work on movies for quite some time. This tutorial covers different Blender Grease Pencil techniques I use to speed up my 2D-3D workflow.
