Stroke animation with Freestyle for Blender

15

Oh. My. God.

This video clip is a compilation of stroke animation sequences made using Blender. Animated strokes of stylized lines were auto-generated from input 3D scenes consisting of mesh objects using the non-photorealistic (NPR) line rendering engine Freestyle available as integral part of Blender. Nothing in the video was drawn by hand.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

    thumbs up for blender and technology, but that sentence sounds very sad.

  2. Nice!
    One feature I'd like to see in Free style is line thickness driven by local light value... ehm.. Imagine a sphere with light comming from the top left corner.
    Freestyle would then make a circle with a thin line in the top left curve and a thick line at the bottom right.
    Where would I request such a feature?

    How though? I know about using freestyle to render outlines, but how do you animate them being drawn? Any tutorial on how freestyle lines can be animated?
