My Blender 2D/3D Process with Grease Pencil

[@human47134]

I've watched a ton of blender tutorials and your way of explaining everything is THE BEST. You explain EVERYTHING with a simple "why" without over explaining or not even saying how or why. I hate it when people just move so fast you don't even see what they clicked on you have to pause it 100 times and then they don't even tell you WHY. This was perfect. Thank you!!!

[@blackopscg]

This video just looks like 25 minutes, but I spend more than 3hours to learn it step by step; Thanks again.

[@Damian_DH]

processing the information u are receiving is one of the most time consuming activities. Now think about 28 hours course it can take months.

[@thehungryrabbi]

ONLY 3?!? you must be quick!! hahah 0 0

[@KidBowsur]

Be proud. That's realistically how a tutorial should be consumed. That's why real classes take weeks. Cant process all that info in 25 minutes

[@oldchild527]

Thats really an achievement, to me it should be like a day

[@zsasz4370]

Bro it took me a total of 6 hours from start to finish haha

[@pwnisher]

Great vid man! What an awesome style!

[@mysiph]

cool seeing you here!

[@lacruzo]

means a lot coming from you, appreciate that man!

[@MattBixler]

8:57 this blew me away. not only do i love being able to play with my background color without honking my whole lighting setup, i've also been trying to figure out a better way to draw in blender with an image reference, and i think this might be the solution. thank you so much!

[@luckyhappy65]

Thank you so much!

[@Scobbo]

For a tutorial that was not for beginners and won't go in depth, I felt like this went a lot deeper than I was expecting. It was still pretty easy to follow and things were explained for someone who doesn't really use blender to often like me. Thanks dude, this looks great!

[@cheeksblaster6000]

Grease Pencil is an untapped section there really aren't many videos about it, keep at it and you'll see enormous growth on youtube in my humble opinion. Great video

[@lacruzo]

thanks, so kind of you to say!

[@apl1324]

I agree and your voice is easy to listen to and understand

[@Dantti]

There are, you just need to dig harder 😅

[@lacruzo]

@@Dantti yeah I think you're a great example of that Dantti! 😊

[@Dantti]

@@lacruzo thank you man! ❤️

[@Lanfeust91]

I am absolute beginner in Blender and I have been able to reprodure 99% just following your intructions and pausing to check your keybinds! Amazing result, I leaned a lot. Will try to do other items by myself now!

[@piorism]

FYI you can avoid the workaround of having to manipulate the object in order to review it from different angles, by enabling "View Lock > Camera to View" for the main camera. That way you'll be able to navigate/rotate the viewport (from within the camera view, hence showing the camera-generated GP lines) without having to worry about the lines shifting from the object.

[@lacruzo]

good tip, thanks!

[@sincerelytheo]

Oh my god i was agonizing over trying to figure out how to create this style in blender less than a week ago, and now the perfect video lands right in my recommended. Thank you for making this!!

[@maokus]

I love your work, thanks for sharing the knowledge :)

[@lacruzo]

My pleasure, I hope you liked it!

[@IBubblesTV]

This is one of the best quick and easy tutorials on how to 2D/3D out there! Thank you!

[@prometheuszero9]

Dang, this is a great video! Not only helpful for the style I am working on for my 3D but there's also lots of useful shortcuts in here that I hadn't learned yet, like using Alt + D so that the copied meshes will change whenever the source mesh changes. There were a few others that I wasn't aware of as well but I forgot them... gonna rewatch and take notes! Edit: Oh yeah, Ctrl + F2 to rename multiple objects. Nice!

[@torikenyon]

if BMO was a vending machine

[@colinredwood]

I come back to this tutorial once a week to relearn parts that I forget. Thank you!

[@HrAz_Works]

What did you do for "shader to RGB" ? It seems like this note does not exist in blender 4.2

[@colinredwood]

@ it only appears in eevee, not cycles. Make sure you are using the eevee render engine. I’m using blender 4.3 and I have it.

[@Mistform3D]

Good stuff. I’ve been using Blender for two weeks. ( 8 years using Maya professionally). Seeing this type of freedom in work is refreshing.

[@lacruzo]

So glad to hear, thanks for checking it out!

[@KTheBoi]

Genuine question, did you stick with Blender's native user input setting or the one that mimicks Maya's? I've tried giving Blender a fair shake multiple times but always felt that interacting with the software is always a headache as a Maya vet

[@vuankhanhbeo]

@@KTheBoiI started with Maya set, and slowly adjust to my taste. So my current setting is some kind of Chimera fusion between Maya n Blender

[@pragnyajain254]

Loving the work flow 🫡🫡. We need more videos like this!!

[@lacruzo]

I'm so glad to hear! 😊

[@stache_obj]

great breakdown! didn't even know notice this was 25mins long. please. more!

[@jeremiestern]

It looks insane! I've always been scared to try grease pencil lineart, vut you make it look easy and make me want to try it out for myself! Thanks for the inspiration! (+1 sub)

[@lacruzo]

thanks so much for watching!

[@RavenclawNimbus]

Same! I was actually shocked by how easy it looked

[@Maxwelliswho]

Finally decided to try out the grease pencil after seeing this on tiktok. You absolutely rule, easy to follow along and so many small general tips that are valuable to remember. Again, you rule, thank you!

[@ixxenangora3367]

I've only just started learning blender (made The Donut and a cat tutorial) and this is the first I've seen of grease pencil. I love this style - this will be next on my to do list!

[@korewasaid]

Awesome video man!

[@lps-emily]

oh my gosh this style is so stunning!

[@lacruzo]

Thanks so much!!

[@ffurrr]

This is such a clear a good tutorial. It has helped me understand greasepencil better than any other tut. Really appreciate your hard work putting this together. Thank you so much!

[@DavidHughes-hv7rl]

Thanks!

[@lacruzo]

Thank you so much!

[@DomcroX]

Finally !!! A 2D/3D tutorial ! Thank you so much, waiting for the new videos !

[@phamhoangbao4378]

I'm having trouble recreating what you did in the video in Blender 4.2, especially with the shadow settings, and the colors aren't as vibrant as they were in your tutorial. Thank you for a great tutorial!

[@micmacha]

I've found that you can also render to transparent (with "Film" under the render tab), and the in the compositor, alpha the rendered image over a background color or texture. It also solves the background lighting issue.

[@Gustoberg]

you just taught me some things that REALLY lacked in my models, thank you!

[@ConstantineG]

This looks fantastic... The details near the end really brought it to life. I wonder if it's possible to bake all of this in a way that can be transferred into a game engine such as Unity.

[@426F6F]

That would be a beautiful game!

[@taliyah._.8853]

You know how to bake it for Unity? idk how...

[@leonardotonietti2062]

Yeah that was what i was thinking too!

[@alexanderzet5028]

So is there a way?

[@artemecia6250]

@@alexanderzet5028 I think closest thing you could do is hand paint the outlines on an albedo, then make a shader that reacts to the colors inside unity like he set up here

[@Karmadeezy]

Another underrated blender KZbinr, This is absolutely amazing!

[@lacruzo]

Ah you're too kind! 😊

[@milocero]

I loved this, thank you !

[@TheShadesOfBlack]

I've spent so much time looking up how to do outlines and cartoon shaders and NONE of them were as easy or as elegant as whats presented in this video. Incredible work.

[@lacruzo]

So glad I could help! 😊

[@harrydsgn]

Unironically a great tutorial for some simple modeling things I wasn't aware of as a not quite total beginner. Love this!

[@wahyu4853]

> Found this on my recommendation > Great video with clear explanation > See the channel and this is the only tutorial video I hope i get to see more of your blender videos and thank you for sharing
