Blender Grease Pencil Workflow | SPIRITED AWAY | Blender 2.91

[@agamvir5664]

When blender isn't only a mind-blowing 3D software but now also a professional 2D software

[@DimiArt]

Also professional video composition software

[@tuat555]

Agree! Both combine is an absolute war machine 👌 (I’m still learning but for what seen so far it’s awesome and free)

[@tuat555]

Definitely! I haven’t composed a video inside Blender but I seen some cool edit through KZbin videos. Just fantastic! 👍

[@scribadibdib]

Did not realize the 2d was in there. I need to catch up

[@pom791]

and its free

[@NahasMajeedA]

The quality is super nice. I'll start exploring Blender as well! :)

[@tuat555]

Thank you. Indeed I was impressed by the quality too at the first. It’s completely a free software :) if you have the time, check it out ;)

[@AdrenResi]

blender's default tools work really well with this studio's art style

[@tuat555]

Completly only the basic default tools🙂👍💯. To be as close and accurate as this studio really amazed me😊🌟

[@a2genisis799]

Wowww

[@tuat555]

😉👍

[@activemotionpictures]

Fantastic work! This video needs more views.

[@tuat555]

OMG! Thank you! 🙏🙂❤️. Well I wish it could ✌️😅. And I just subscribed to your channel because I did learn a lot from some of your video 👌 You’re really amazing GOOD JOB! 👍

[@Userdoesnotexit]

Great work .. just a question... is the green line in a different layer ? and its locked ??? and you delete later ?

[@tuat555]

Cheers 😊👍! Yeah I did it on a different layer. I could just hide the material of the green line but for some reason I found out that it’s convenient to make on a separate layer and then hide it 🙂. I always try to figure out the best option in every project I made 👍

[@Userdoesnotexit]

@@tuat555 Thanks for answering man you are doing good work .. keep it up !

[@jaimecarrillo2250]

Beautiful work. Thank you so much for sharing your process.

[@tuat555]

U thank you 🙏 it’s a pleasure to share 😊

[@housebased7]

This is amazing

[@tuat555]

Cheers 😊!!!

[@heyhoneybunny763]

I love your videos, keep up the good work!

[@tuat555]

Thank you so much for the support I really appreciate it 🙏😊. I was supposed to release a new one earlier this week. Hope to finish soon it’s a good one 🙂

[@smol_white_bat]

This is madness

[@tuat555]

Cheers!!! 🙏🙂

[@jenafierro1500]

Can you go over your materials specifically? I can never get the fill tool to work the way I want.

[@scribblecloud]

you need to use a fill (not lineart) material and play around with the fill tool settings

[@tuat555]

Yes that right!!!👌 Make sure to check mark the right boxes in the material tab if you want to FILL just check ✔ the box called FILL 🙂👍.

[@CdeeqFilmmaker]

very cool

[@tuat555]

Thank u! 🙏🙂

[@DavinLong]

This is a fascinating tutorial but I feel the need to ask, doesn't this count as tracing over other people's work?

[@tuat555]

Thank you ! I'm truly agree with you. It’s completely tracing over people work. This is some of the work that made trying out Grease pencil and see how much this tool is valuable. So I did a couple of these. But today, it's not something that will continue to promote since I learn enough to make my own pieces 🙂👍.

[@SrValeriolete]

That's ok as an exercise as long as he gives credit and don't monetize on it

[@tuat555]

Thank you🙏! My wish is to be as good as these animators🌟. Remaking my favorites scenes taught me a lot about improving my skills ❤ and I will always be grateful for giving them the credits🙇‍♂️

[@DavinLong]

@@tuat555 I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and best of luck to you!

[@tuat555]

Thank you so much for the support🙏😊 I really appreciate it, take care and have a beautiful holiday season🙂🤝

[@STEVEYDRAWS]

I want to do this, using real life reference, thanks alot

[@tuat555]

That's possible 😉👍.With real footage, you can import it inside Blender then do some rotoscoping work on it with Grease pencil 🙂👌

[@STEVEYDRAWS]

@@tuat555 is there a way to remove the white filter like, when adding images as plains?

[@tuat555]

Yes! You have to pull up the shader panel. Cuz when you import "images as plane" Blender put a shader by default so it does have that white filter on. On the Shader panel you just to reduce some of the settings to zero. Then it should be fine 👍

[@STEVEYDRAWS]

@@tuat555 Thanks 🤧

[@marcodvbr8641]

How did you get a video playing on blender?

[@tuat555]

You have to import a reference in the scene and make sure the reference is a movie file (like an mp4 format). After that in the reference panel you have to set how many frames the video takes to being read in the scene. My explanation might be complicated to get it. So I might do a short video for importing a video 🙂👍 Thank you for asking 😊

[@muhammadali.2755]

That is retroscoping?!

[@tuat555]

Thanks for asking ^^. Yes it is, some of these works were made by using rotoscoping. I did it in study purposes when I started Blender a year ago. So I used a lot of existing animation references to build my skills and till today with all I learned I'm capable to make my own original stuff :)

[@_yuri]

tracing moment neat will try

[@tuat555]

Yes no magic tricks 😉. Just some patience, you can do it too👍

[@ProfRangabashyam]

The image layer disappears while rendering

[@tuat555]

Yeah I was confronted to this problem too. The easy way is to make sure you import your image as background and place it. Then inside your viewport click view and scroll down to render viewport animation. (It should be work) it will render with the background. If you go at the very top menu of blender3d for rendering it won’t appear cuz you have to set up the compositing and the camera as well (if I’m right 🤔) Cheers ! 🍻🙂

[@augforthboy]

how long did this take to do?

[@tuat555]

It took two weeks. One week for the lineart animation and one week for colouring.

[@augforthboy]

@@tuat555 thanks ive been working on a 2d animation since last year but its been a tad frustrating especially when it comes to organizing the timelines and character parts

[@sooty7995]

@@tuat555 two, two weeks？! wow

[@tuat555]

Yes two weeks 🙂. It’s a study from an original piece so it’s not that hard because there’s a reference to follow. The process will be a bit longer if I started from scratch 😉

[@Khoura]

What's the song?

[@tuat555]

😅 I don’t know. It’s from a lofi playlist but I can’t find out the title. So sorry 🤷‍♂️, it’s sounds relaxing✌️😌

[@夏休み-d7u]

Ohh how I dreamed of the day when Blender's 2d grease pencil matures to be a powerful animation software so that I can finally abandon Windows and join Linux.

[@tuat555]

Blender is definitely getting better in the 2D animation. Some new features and improvements are coming out soon with the 2.93. I think you will definitely like it!

[@firegaming6575]

Hi

[@tuat555]

Hi 👋😃!!!

[@karamdeepsingh2367]

Wait it's all tracing *ALWAYS HAS BEEN*

[@tuat555]

Yes most of my work when I started Grease pencil were trace over anime references in order to practice and get close to the same render. I just share my studies about it. Today I learn enough from these to do my own original works.🙂 To be honest it's more grateful to create personal things ✌😉

[@mellio19]

so basically you're just rotoscoping / stealing studio Ghibli's animation and tracing over it?!

[@tuat555]

First, I didn't promote that own any rights on it. The full credits is for the Ghibli studio since I'm just doing a fan art by remaking a scene from one of their movies. 2 years past since I released that video, I was a brand new Blender trying to learn how to use the software for the purpose of making my own anime in the future. Second, this debate of rotoscoping has no end (we could talk forever about it), you better go blame A.I instead since you tryna to catch real thieves. Have a nice day bye 👋
