sweet!

i love how you can draw a different picture over every frame! fantastic for making notes on animations.

would like to get some control on how long a picture stays up – every frame, every 2 frames, hold this picture for all frames (if you want to draw arcs for an entire animation). just under my threshold of consciousness, i can feel there will be lots of issues regarding this… for example, if i'm drawing on animation that is primarily on 2s and then i run into a section on 1s… etc….

currently, there is a bug so that if you draw on frame one and you go to frame 2, the drawing for frame 1 is still onscreen UNTIL you draw… at which point the canvas is blanked again. this makes it difficult to tell what frames have real drawings on them or which ones are merely persisting from previous frames.

also, the ability to SAVE greasepencil drawings and load them would be awesome. i'm assuming right now, they are just saved with the blender scene but it would be nice to be able to access them as entities in some way to explicitly do certain things like maybe export or heck, even use them in unexpected ways.

layers are awesome! love it.

GREAT IDEA and really wonderful implementation so far!

For those of us who use Linux, Compiz has the Annotate plugin that lets you write on the whole screen.

Great for making tutorials.

This will be great for the animation class I'll be teaching in the Spring, very very very useful!!!

THANKS for the GREAT work!!!

Are the current builds safe to use in production? They won't corrupt my files? I'm eager to use this. It will be faster to draw the keyposes directly on the screen than to use thumbnails! :)

Looks cool. Can someone make an updated Win32 build? I have one of the older ones, but it doesn't have some of the neat features (pressure sensitivity, drawing in 3d, etc.)

Thanks.

I am very sad about the less few ideas Blender-Developer possibly actual have.
In other packages this is only a plug-in and not an implemented tool!!
It's time to have new unique ideas!!
