@e_ohkushi Important note: The addon "Storytools" is not related to Blender official "Story Tools" project. Event if the two have almost the same name (the space matter here) and same goal.
The pdf exporter in my addon can only merge image files. The future native solution will be better.

Congratulations to @gintszilbalodis and the entire Flow film crew for the Academy Award win!

Flow is the manifestation of Blender’s mission, where a small independent team is able to create a story that moves audiences worldwide.

Thank you for the shout out! 🧡 #b3d

@BruteForceGame So cool! Reminds me of an old game project I did with friends (a 3 weeks game-jam-like session). Except yours looks awesomely playable !!

Morw test to more fine-tune the ClayPencil tool, to convert Grease Pencil animations into 3D characters in real time. This time using a reference from the lovely @pedroalpera

@tibolasticot Nice. Are the 3D model of the keycaps accurate ? (ex: usable for 3D printing).
Do you sometimes share the models of your animations somewhere ?

"The Night Watch" (Ronde de Nuit) french animated short film by Julien Regnard is finally online.
Produced in 2021 by Autour de Minuit & Squarefish, it was one of the first 2D animated project using Grease Pencil and a full Blender pipeline.

WARNING: Using Geonode Tools deletes all shapes keys on your objects, even if you just pass the Geometry (we found this out the hard way mid-production)Anyone has any workaround for this bug? This makes Tools unusable in production settings, unfortunately. #b3d @simonthommes

[Samuel Bernou @pullusb]

@dedouze_ @bclark_cgchar Nice ! Congrats

[Samuel Bernou @pullusb]

A cool short film made with Blender grease pencil, go watch it while it's online!
Working on it had been a really nice and smooth experience, thanks to the great team at Autour de minuit.

"El After del Mundo", an animated short film directed by argentinian artist Florentina Gonzalez, and produced in France by Autour de Minuit.
Currently available on Youtube (with english & french subs).

@KumbhakarPreeti It's "Grease Pencil Tools", it's already in Blender !
You just have to activate it. ;)
In the addon preferences : go in "timeline scrub" tab, you can customize the shortcut to call the timeline there.
Default is "Alt+Mid-click" (I often remap it to "Alt+left-Click").

My Blender addon "GP draw transform" now respects autokey !

https://t.co/EfqfPnzanB

A "frame hint" can be enabled to show when a key is created.

See attached demo: making a fancy monkey without leaving draw mode using the addon.
