@DrawNear_ Also, check your local libraries - some in my area have digital labs with large format printers and 3D printers and will print at a very reasonable cost.

@gangemi_renato Use the mouth shape and plug it into the Boolean node in the Head node. Then set the Boolean setting to difference in the body node. This will subtract the mouth shape from the head. Hope that makes sense.

@jonhanlan Thanks! Indeed it is - and using the “all layers” setting in interpolation dialogue box makes it a breeze to use with many layers.

Another ClayPencil animation test + original behind the scenes Grease Pencil artwork+ addition of Foreground/background using ClayPencil. No rigging or modelling - just straight up 2D animation and illustration.

My children's picture book, The King, The Princess, and The Gorilla, is now available on Amazon!

This story has a special place in my heart—as it was my father-of-the-bride speech at my daughter’s wedding.

I hope you enjoy the story!

@_pepeland_ Thanks. Such a cool tool!

[Ron Letkeman @letkeman]

@brabaro Yes! So much so, I found reasons to use it at work this week.

New ClayPencil character test. This clip consists of 16 drawings animated on 2’s. The Grease Pencil Time Offset modifier was used to repeat the walk cycle.

@Picouplus @_pepeland_ Very Fun. Tiny bit of a learning curve at the start. But once your character is set up it’s great. Overall a great tool for such an early release.
