[@NikolaNevenov86]

Sorry to do it like this, but I've been using this addon recently, and really love it. However it's last version is unable to work if the GP is constrained. I've found a fix to that but cannot contact the developer. Can you do so for me? Let them know that using the gpencil object's `.matrix_world.to_translation()` will give a vector of the origin's position after the constraint. So we can fix this issue by using this for the `gporigin` value.

[@SpitfireStoryboards]

@@NikolaNevenov86 thanks for your response i will let Ed know.

[@NikolaNevenov86]

@@SpitfireStoryboards Hey thanks, another thing is that I'm not quite sure what your concept was, but for the `center option` I think we can use the Gpencil's Bounding box. Blender calculates the bbox for the gpencil every frame, thus finding the center of all the strokes is simply finding the center of the bbox which is basically just 8 verts. So we don't need to loop through all of the strokes and all of the points on a stroke. I suppose in the case where you only one a specific layer to be summed up.... it makes sense . In any case I'm looking into auto aligning the cursor to the camera view every time it snaps. But have nothing at the moment, and I do need to finish my animatic soon. Anyway Merry Christmas(or Happy Holidays).

[@opendstudio7141]

Great commercial for this addon and to showcase your methods. But, it takes an animator with a directors eye to execute such animatics. Never-the-less, it is exciting to watch you flesh out the process and display how the animatic can be accomplished more efficiently by making the entire stroke layer as a single animated scene. Hopefully there will be an easy solution for the camera tracking position logging to the timeline. With Blenders extensive and evolving features set, it will be challenging to keep up with all the changes an enhancements. It's always fun to celebrate your discoveries and joy. 😁

[@SpitfireStoryboards]

What a fantastic comment . Yes what I am doing in terms of boarding and camera is what I have learned through 15 years of experience. I focus on the method and approach rather than trying to explain all that as it would take hours upon hours upon......etc . For the tracking most people use empties to track to anyway as it gives better control .but we will look into it

U should see the keys in the object keyframe on playback timeline.

This is the best grease pencil anything i have ever seen in blender, all thanks go to everyone in spitfire storyboard. One question; is there a setting to make it so that it always faces the camera?

[@SpitfireStoryboards]

Thank you. Depends on what u mean by face the camera. Do u mean when u are drawing? If so, then yes, you just to need to in draw mode have the ‘view ‘ setting on. If u mean, get it to face the camera even if u then change the camera angle, then that requires more work, using the reproject option.

[@SpitfireStoryboards]

Thanks. Depends on what u mean by face camera. If u mean when u are drawing, then yes, select the view setting at top. It’s highlighted in video. If u mean, to always and ever face any camera after u have drawn it, then no. But u can reproject strokes so that if u changed angle and wanted to reproject, u could

[@stanley8006]

@@SpitfireStoryboards allways face camera (and maybe viewport tho thats secondary to what i want).

Amazing- is there anything like Blender, and the Blender community? Seriously, I think its becoming the best thing out there. I've never really used Toon Boom Harmony- can its 3d/2D workflow even approach this?

[@SpitfireStoryboards]

I know right ? Blender community is great. I use storyboard Pro alot and love it, and while u can kind if do 2d 3d in there its not great imo and u can't make 3d in there. I never use the 3d side of sbpro. So no , there is nothing else quite like blender for 2d 3d hybrid. The genius was making the grease pencil an object . That opened it right up to truly exist in 3d.

[@ThienNguyen-mo9xv]

Thanks a lot for this tut!!!

[@pierpaolomassacci8424]

Great work! Thank youuu :)

[@DimiArt]

im hyped to use this, but how does it compare to using 3d models as a base and parenting them, which work flow do you prefer?

[@SpitfireStoryboards]

Both have their uses. I have stopped parenting to objects, for the reasons I address late in my Sci fi tutorial set : it creates codependencies and u have to always use the 3d model keys to animate your gp. If I use 3d characters now I tend to use them as a block out for reference but not parent. Cursor snapper is the complete opposite of parenting and object keying . It's a liberating way to work for some people . All of these approaches have their uses. Thanks for engaging . Let me know if u like this method .

[@hellorgl5]

Great idea! We're testing the addon at the minute, works great. A couple of suggestions/requests: 1) would be useful if it also rotated the 3D cursor to the correct angle - the current approach requires the camera to be locked and to always draw from the camera, which is a little limiting in some situations. It's not quite as simple as moving to the correct location, but certainly should be doable for planar drawings, if not deformed ones? 2) would be simpler to use if it worked with blender's existing ways of moving through time (scrubbing the timeline, using left/right, using up/down) rather than having its own standalone next/previous keyframe buttons. Is there any reason it can't run automatically whenever the frame changes? Other than that it's a really fun tool, definitely streamlines the GP workflow. Thanks!

[@SpitfireStoryboards]

Hi thanks for the detailed feedback. In response: point 1 , angle of cursor is already on the list for a feature. 2, I prefer that people have the option to not snap if they don't want to. The shift plus up down shortcut is simple enough . But , well look into it as an option perhaps, if its possible to make it auto. In v1 it just made is simpler to have an input . Thanks

!) Yes, rotating the cursor will be a future feature with this add-on. 2) Blender does not want scripts running in the background for very good reasons. It is possibly to run some functions in a modal way. It would be best if this were done in the core code of Blender.

[@pruntyportraits]

Did you have to use empties to track those camera movements in the end? Or manually keyframe the camera orientation?

[@凯中杨]

amazing~~~

[@rajatsharma949]

Thank you so much 🙏😉

[@Scio_]

This is an amazing add-on (and workflow video :) which single-handedly made mixing 2D and 3D make sense to me in Blender. As a hopefully small feature request: would it be possible to not just move the 3D cursor with this addon but also rotate it? When I place a 3D cursor in the scene I notice that it inherits the view angle, so I can rotate the drawing plane around while sketching an action without having to set-up cameras first. But when Cursor Snap places the cursor back onto a frame it doesn't change the rotation from whatever it was before, so the 3D cursor drawing plane option no longer matches. Perhaps a few of random vertices can also be subtracted to get the normal after it's done averaging the location?

[@SpitfireStoryboards]

Hi. Really glad you like it. Thanks for the request. Yes indeed, in the pro version one of the features will be to make more of the 3d cursors rotation, and we will see what we can regarding keying those rotation for when we snap back . We have lots of cool features Ideas so look forward to the pro version in the future sometime (but it wont be for a while as Ed and I have been very busy)

[@SpitfireStoryboards]

Hi and thanks for feedback. Do u mean object mode in relation to cursor mode? The solution will be to do with moving the origin. We will explore it but for now best to just decide which method u want to use for any given situation.

[@Miguel-ez6sh]

@@SpitfireStoryboards In the video you spoke about not using object mode to change the position of a drawing, as it messes the whole thing up. Isn't that normal with grease pencil?

[@SpitfireStoryboards]

@@Miguel-ez6sh it depends what method u are using. In my other videos I use the characters like objects, moving them around in space . I refer to this as the object mode . It moves the whole gp object . The reason I say it doesn't work well in conjunction with this cursor method is that using cursor we have planned out a specific path of strokes in 3d, as opposed to moving the onmbject itself through space . Thats the distinction, I'd say .

@@SpitfireStoryboards Thank you! I'm guessing you prefer this method, or do they each have their own applications?

[@SpitfireStoryboards]

YESS!!! GOOOOOO!!!!!

[@hotchd1]

Question for you about your process using this technique with finished animation. If you're doing a walk or run from the front or back, how do you address foot placement/sliding. Because if on every frame in a frontal walk, let's say, the grid steps forward, there's a problem. I guess one way to handle is by just using "view" mode and drawing on one plane for finished animation, essentially "copying" from the roughs. But, was wondering your process.

[@SpitfireStoryboards]

Yeh stuff going directly away ot towards camera cN be tricky . I strongly suggest prepping it by using the dot path method to get yr positions first, or use 2 views so u can see where from the side too. Both methods shown in the video.

[@hotchd1]

Super impressive! I'm using the plugin, and it's really helpful. Question: You talk about starting off in "front" mode to do your roughs, and then switch to "view" when you get closer to tie-downs. Can you comment on this process? Haven't tried it yet, but it seems like it could be awkward and difficult reproducing drawings in "view" mode when the originals were done in "front", especially if the angle of the camera changes significantly. Also, I notice that when you draw in "front", for example, and then switch to "view", only subsequent drawings will abide by the new setting. Is there a way to make all drawings comply when moving from "front" to "view", or vice versa?

[@SpitfireStoryboards]

These are good questions . What you've mentioned here is precisely why I treat that first pass as layout and I don't get too specific about nailing the artwork from a perspective . I keep it very loose. Once camera angle is established then yes for that initial change to view mode there is often a difference between the angle but there isn't much way around that. In terms of the angle of the artwork then facing camera then as long as you are in view mode, your new drawing will always face camera. However if u are talking about wanting to reproject the artwork to a new angle , u can also do that but it has to be frame by frame for view mode . I'm not sure if I have yet covered this in any of my vids but u go into edit mode, select the artwork then go up to grease pencil , clean up, reproject strokes , view . I've been meaning to put it in a quick tips video . I don't use it much its more for fixing mistakes

[@hotchd1]

@@SpitfireStoryboards As always, thanks for your quick and full reply. Deeply appreciated. What I love about your plugin is that it makes establishing timing a lot simpler.

Also, did you plan out your shots (drawn thumbnails) before making this storyboard/animatic? Thanks!

Will you release a full storyboard/animatic here on youtube that has been completely done in blender (not just tests, but from an actual scene from a script or something)? do you ever use different 'Scenes' in Blender? As far as storyboarding in Blender goes, do you ever do any 2d shots (for the simple shots/character movements) and just save these 3d ones for complex shots/movements? If so, how do you keep everything organized? Different blender files or keep everything in one file?

[@SpitfireStoryboards]

@@Shka_maru yes I will upload content like that when I do some that I can show . I have not used scenes much or the vse editor but will be exploring it. I would do stuff in 2d if the project was right but to me the hybrid is the reason I use blender so ....I d probably do that instead. So far every scene I have done in blender has been one file .

Hey uh, as of version of 4.2.1 the addon has been moved. I downloaded your addon, tried to install it, nothing happened. It worked on other versions.

[@SpitfireStoryboards]

@@thisboihavealotofchannelju3936 ah yes 4.2 changed the way addons work. Up top right there is now a drop down menu that alows you to install from disk or something like that.

@@SpitfireStoryboards it was me, i unzipped the file like an idiot lol 😂

[@SpitfireStoryboards]

@@thisboihavealotofchannelju3936 ah its a classic thing to do! I just tested it on 4.2 and it works fine. Enjoy
