Blender Development Video

“For You”, a Grease Pencil test

Bart ·

Pepeland’s Daniel M Lara tried the new Grease Pencil tools for Blender 2.73 and created this wonderful short video. .Blend file is included.

You can download the Blend file:

  1. You NEED download an updated version of Blender from here: builder.blender.org/download/
  2. The blend file.

If you don’t use a updated version of Blender you can not play with the new Grease Pencil features.

The Grease Pencil tools appear in T(key) viewport panel under Grease Pencil tab

Pie menus for quick-access to tools: A set of experimental pie menus has been included for quick access to many
tools and settings. It is not necessary to use these to get things done, but they have been designed to help make certain common tasks easier.

  • Pressing D and W = The main pie menu. Reveals tools in a context sensitive and spatially stable manner.
  • Pressing D and Q = “Quick Settings” pie. This allows quick access to the active layer’s settings. Notably, colours, thickness, and turning
    onion skinning on/off.

Having fun!
Daniel
