How To Render Curves And Edges As Grease Pencil Strokes - Geometry Nodes

Neither Cycles nor Evee support Curve rendering by default, so you have to convert them to mesh first. Follow this tutorial and learn how to render curves and edges as Grease Pencil strokes instead. It displays and renders in real-time.

Fantastic! you made this seems simple. Really clear. Thanks!

[@mickyr171]

This is pretty cool, thankyou

Nice

Great technique -- thanks for sharing!

Thank you! This technic is way better than the experimental GN Grease Pencil in 4.2.

The experimental Grease Pencil 3.0 looks promising but currently you can’t generate any strokes with it. May be in the future.

Thank you!

I like your tutorials very much! would it be possible to make one using Blender hair curves?

Thanks for sharing the technic!

You’re welcome.

2:21 could you tell me how to add geometry node like you ❤

[@peiyihou8609]

use line art modifier for mesh data output from geometry node tree

[@ilirbeqiri]

That's good to know. I couldn't find a way to draw all edges, but maybe I need to look deeper into the settings. Anyway, no harm comes from knowing two ways to achieve the same result.

[@peiyihou8609]

​@@ilirbeqiri LA modifier will take camera into account, so if to show all edge you need delete face and keep edge by duplicate element or delete geometry

Hi, I'm having great success with this trick, but I was wondering if there's a way to correct for inconsistent thickness in the strokes? It seems like the longer strokes are too thick, while shorter strokes are too thin. Ideally, both long and short edges would make strokes of equal thickness, but I've not been able to correct for this effect. Thanks!

Okay, I've trial-and-error'd my way into a passable but not mathematically rigorous solution to this. I wish I could share a screenshot of my solution via YT comments, but the results pass by the "eyeballing it" test. I can try to explain if anybody else runs into this issue.

[@ilirbeqiri]

You surely must have skipped some step following my video. I haven't encountered it so far. This method should work flawlessly with any edge length. Send me a file with your example and I will try to explain what you did wrong.
